Aiken felt that it wasn’t his lucky day today. It had taken him a lot of effort to persuade Rory for a midnight snack in the newly opened restaurant. But he hadn’t expected Becky to be there too.
What was worse, she was there with Devin, Rory’s competitor and the one who had announced that he would be pursuing Becky.
Aiken regretted his choices once he realized what was happening. It would be better if they came here another day.
To some degree, they weren’t Becky’s friends. An hour ago, Aiken had greeted Becky, but she had not reciprocated or replied.
Aiken understood that Becky didn’t intend to interact with any of Rory’s friends. And such behavior was understandable.
This time, Aiken behaved himself, standing to the side and looking straight ahead without saying a word.
Anyway, he shouldn’t be the one to feel embarrassed.
Becky took one glance at Rory before walking past him.
She had just walked some distance when Rory suddenly burst out, “Do you think that what you are doing will make me jealous?”
Becky stopped at his words and turned to face him. She looked at him and asked with a smile, “Are you talking to me?”
Her smile was devoid of happiness and didn’t reach her eyes.
Rory felt uncomfortable under Becky’s gaze. She had never looked at him like this or spoken such unpleasant words to him.
Rory frowned, his expression darkening instantly. “Don’t play hard to get. Do you think I’m going to buy it?”
Aiken sucked in a sharp breath at this. Rory had gone too far this time.
