A grimace rested on his pale face as his pink orbs fixed on yours. He really hadn't expected you to express romantic feelings for him, nevermind confess them.

Juliek's love life had been… all over the place lately. After all, his wife had gone missing and he sort of held unreciprocated feelings for Accardi.

If anything, he wasn't really ready for another relationship. He didn't feel the same way you did too. Sure, he cared about you a lot, but he wasn't romantically interested in you.

He had more important matters and things to commit too anyway like his daughter and his business.

"I don't feel that way." He bluntly spoke, a frown creasing his face. Yet, you could tell he felt a hint of… guilt. He seemed guilty that he couldn't reciprocate your feelings.
