The green-eyed girl could feel as if a strong heat was envolving her body and soul. Playing timidly with her hands, she lowered her gaze. A soft "Thank you", escaped her mouth. Mei's compliments had made her feel better about herself. 

Since breaking up with Jonas, the young woman had been dealing with poor confidence and self-esteem issues, so the Chinese woman's words felt like drops of water for Celeste's thirsty heart. Mei's gaze was so intense and seductive that the long-haired girl could have sworn those eyes were piercing into her very soul, reading her very feelings and thoughts.

Celeste's trance was interrupted by Victor. She had never been happier to be interrupted by someone. This strange man had saved her of embarrassing herself once again in front of Mei.
