Louise's face froze instantly. She never expected Ms. Ashley to be so openly dismissive, leaving her to glance at Nash for backup.
"Nash..." she started, her voice trailing off.
Nash met her gaze, eyebrows knitted together. "Feeling all better now, huh? So what was with that Oscar-worthy performance of yours just a minute ago?"
Nash was nothing if not straightforward, cutting right to the chase. He wasn't oblivious and had picked up on her little act.
Feeling the heat of embarrassment, Louise dropped her head, choosing silence over further humiliation. Despite the awkward moment, Nash, considering the years of their friendship, decided to ease up a bit.
"Since Louise is feeling better, why don’t we all head out for dinner?" he suggested, his voice carrying a slight chill.
Ms. Ashley couldn't help but roll her eyes at this. She knew her son had been manipulated by this girl, who had him wrapped around her little finger. But with Nash having already spoken, she had no choice but to take Louise along to the Golden Hotel.
As they walked, Nash leaned in to whisper to Louise, "Stop playing games with me. I’m not a fan." He then strode ahead, leaving her to catch up.
Louise quickly followed, aware that Nash was upset, yet secretly pleased with her standing in his life. Even if he saw through her antics, he still chose to indulge her.
