Devin looked at Becky, smiling.
He paused for a few seconds before saying, “I don’t have a new girlfriend.”
And he didn’t have ex-girlfriends, either.
“You’re not supposed to be telling me this,” Becky said, meeting his gaze.
They looked at each other in silence, neither wanting to be the first to surrender.
Finally, Becky gave up and said, “I need to leave.”
“Okay,” Devin said. He stood there, looking at Becky the same way as before.
Becky didn’t know what to say and instead, looked at Talia, who thought that Becky was trying to tell her something. “Miss Ramos?” she said quizzically.
Becky was embarrassed. She shook her head and said, “Nothing.” Then, she continued on her way out.
Before Talia followed Becky out, she looked at Devin, only to find that he was still looking at Becky. She looked at Becky, who managed to cover quite some distance, and hurried to catch up with her.
Devin stood still, watching Becky’s retreating back until she disappeared out of sight. He then turned to look at the man not far away. “Do you love peeping?”
Rory’s face darkened at these words and he walked up to Devin. “What are you up to, Devin?”
Devin looked at Rory with a sneer as he said, “Did I do anything?”
