林晓晓甩了甩湿漉漉的头发， curses under her breath as she enters the lobby of the luxurious commercial building. The air inside is warm and dry, a stark contrast to the冷 she just left outside. She looks around, trying to find someone to ask for directions to the nearest washroom.

Just as she's about to approach the reception desk, a pair of familiar feet stop her in her tracks. The man is tall and well-dressed, his expensive watch reflecting the light of the chandeliers. He's holding hands with a woman who looks familiar but whose name escapes her.

"Hey, didn't I see you at the coffee shop earlier?" the man says, his voice filled with a playful smirk.

The woman looks slightly uncomfortable but plays along. "I think you're mistaken, handsome. I believe we've never met."

Before Lin晓晓 can respond, the man leans in and whispers something in the woman's ear. She gasps and pulls away, her cheeks turning a deep red. "That's too forward, James. We're just friends."
