“Uh, I didn’t want to come. Josiah insisted!” Frederic quickly claimed his innocence.
Zephyr glanced at Josiah darkly.
“No, Z, I…”
“You didn’t just want to come. You said you wanted to go for a drive in Z’s new car!”
“Fredric!” Josiah could not even win the argument.
Zephyr asked sternly, “Didn’t I ask you not to hang around here? What if Cordelia sees you!?”
“I…”
Josiah was close to tears while Frederic tried to hold back his chuckle.
“Never mind, Z. He hasn't been the brightest since we were young. Don’t get petty with him!”
Josiah was rendered speechless.
“Right, your new car’s beautiful!” Frederic grinned like a sly old fox. “Cordelia picked it?”
It was only then Zephyr showed a hint of a smile.
Frederic continued. “Cordelia has good taste. Z, your cars weren't too practical in the past. This car’s specs and model, its color especially, match you very well!”
Josiah immediately loathed Frederic.
In spite of it, Zephyr was in a good mood and even suggested driving them around.
Frederic came to the main point then. “There’s something that we come to you for… Let’s talk somewhere quiet.”
Zephyr nodded and went back to the cafe to get the car key from Cordelia.
“You’re going out?”
“Mm… Going for a drive with my friends.” Zephyr chuckled.
