Adan repeated her words, " Clockwork Orange... " quietly, his gaze fixed on her with a curious intensity. His eyes, one brown and the other blue, took in her gentle expressions. She was definitely his type.. smart, calm, with a mysterious aura that caught his attention. But he couldn’t help but wonder if she’d be interested in someone like him. Most women found him intimidating, and he understood why. There was something about him that made people uneasy. He had tried to be charming before, but it wasn’t in his nature. He didn’t have the patience for drawn-out small talk or playing the romantic. " So, you're a professor... " he said, his voice calm but direct. " I wouldn’t mind learning a thing or two from you. You seem like an intelligent woman. " He paused for a moment, then got straight to the point. " But I’m not here to waste your time. I just want your number. I’d like to take you out to dinner. " There was no beating around the bush with Adan. He was straightforward, maybe even blunt, but that was just who he was. Now, the question was whether she’d appreciate his honesty... or be put off by it.
