Aiken couldn’t help but secretly give Becky a thumbs up behind Rory’s back.
Seeing this, Becky couldn’t help but chuckle. “Is there anything else, Mr. Casper?”
With the way Becky spoke to him, it was as though she wasn’t the one who provoked him just now.
Glancing at her indifferently, Rory didn’t say a word and turned around to leave.
“Did anyone force him to watch our performance? Everyone thought we were awesome, but he doesn’t know how to appreciate real music. He should just donate his eyes and ears to the blind and deaf!” Jessie complained in a low voice after Rory left.
Aiken also felt that Rory had spoiled all the fun, but after some hesitation, he hurried to follow him. After all, they were best friends and had known each other for more than twenty years.
But before he left, he said to Becky, “I like rock and roll, too. How about we talk about music some time?”
Jessie rolled her eyes and said, “Becky and you are worlds apart. You wouldn’t be able to understand her.”
These words sounded familiar to Aiken. After thinking about it for a while, he realized that these were the very same words the rich ladies had said to Becky at a party before.
Although he didn’t add any fuel to the flame at the time, he just watched and did nothing, which meant that he had turned a blind eye to the bullying.
Now that Jessie insulted him with those very words, Aiken touched his nose awkwardly and muttered, “I’ll go then.”
Becky didn’t say anything. She didn’t have time for that.
Moreover, Aiken was on Rory’s side, so Becky didn’t even want to say a word to him.
Before leaving, Aiken couldn’t help but look back at Becky. She was still chatting with her friends, and the handsome lead singer got her another drink.
Wow, what a considerate boyfriend!
Aiken tore his gaze away and hurried to catch up with Rory.
By then, Rory had already walked out of ONE. Aiken had to jog to catch up to him. “You left so quickly.”
Rory glanced at him indifferently and said nothing.
Aiken smiled and commented lightly, “Becky’s boyfriend is very considerate to her.”
