Chapter 1095
Kieran then said, "If I don't like you, why would I be your assistant for a day? Do I look like I have nothing better to do?"
At least up until now, only Lila had made him willingly give up work to pursue her.
"I'm not overly attentive to just anyone, you know?" Kieran looked at her, his eyes full of seriousness and displeasure.
Lila stared at him for a while, then burst out laughing.
"So, Mr. Getty, do you think you're overly attentive to me?"
"Aren't I doing that right now?"
"Mr. Getty, this is barely the beginning. You already think you're making some huge effort?"
Lila sighed, "Since when did sincerely pursuing someone become described as being overly attentive?"
Kieran was actually stumped by her question.
Lila looked out the window, her eyes filled with emotion, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, "Is it really that hard to genuinely care about someone? Isn't love supposed to be about connection, where together you're stronger than apart? When did love turn into this game where you're afraid of giving too much and I'm afraid of giving too much?"
Kieran was stunned again.
"But," Lila suddenly looked at Kieran.
Kieran blinked, waiting for the "but."
Lila smiled, "There are indeed some women who don't like someone but still lead them on, making them act overly attentive. So, this description does have its reasons. But that's not us."
She didn't like the term "overly attentive."
First of all, she wouldn't waste his time, and he hadn't sacrificed anything major for her
Kieran could see that too.
Lila was a very upright person.
Those flashy things didn't suit her.
She was too clear-headed.
Maybe working in entertainment had made her that way.
"I'm serious about pursuing you," Kieran looked at her, his voice softening.
Lila didn't agree, but she didn't refuse either. Maybe, she tacitly accepted it.
Actually, Kieran was quite good.
Their statuses were also well-matched.
After a few minutes of silence, Lila suddenly asked.
"Have you asked your family how they feel about their golden boy dating an actress?"
Kieran was puzzled, "Why do you say that? What's wrong with being an actress? It's your profession, and you've worked hard to get where you are today. Being an actress is not lowly; you don't need to belittle yourself."
Lila was about to speak again.
Kieran seemed to guess what Lila was going to say and immediately interrupted, "Likewise, being from a wealthy family doesn't make anyone superior. It's true that our backgrounds are similar, but even if they weren't, it wouldn't matter."
"As for my family's attitude, they always prioritize my happiness. Whatever I like, that's what matters. My life is mine to live, and it has nothing to do with anyone else, got it?"
When Kieran talked about serious matters, his attitude was very stern.
Lila was taken aback.
Maybe she was used to Kieran's usual playful demeanor, and his sudden seriousness was a bit unsettling.
Thinking back to Kieran staying by her side today, Lila had to admit, it was quite heartwarming.
"Okay," Lila nodded in agreement.
Kieran smiled, "Looks like you're starting to consider me."
"Of course, after all, you're quite the catch. I have to think it through. It's not like I'm planning to stay single forever." Lila smiled, elegant and poised.
Kieran fell silent.
Fine, fine, just "evaluating" for now.
