Summer looked up at Harlan, feeling a bit sorry as she spoke, "I apologize on behalf of Spencer for the coffee bean incident this morning. Please don't take it to heart." She wasn't sure why he acted that way.
She apologized for him?
This made Harlan somewhat uncomfortable.
"Summer, what's your relationship with him?"
As a man's intuition, he asked the question, of course, a bit afraid to hear a definite answer.
After all, Spencer, from a man's perspective, might be a bit spendthrift, but he also had his own charm.
Facing his earnest seeking eyes for an answer, Summer knew he misunderstood.
So, she smiled and said, "We're just friends, what else do you think? What kind of relationship?"
"Just normal friends?" Harlan wanted to know, adding another question.
"Yeah." The girl nodded, "Just normal friends, really."
Looking at her, she didn't seem to be joking at all.
At this moment, the waiter handed her a latte, "Miss, enjoy."
"Thank you." She took the cup, gently stirred with a silver spoon, looking calm, like a goddess.
Finally, Harlan relaxed, a light and happy smile appearing on his face.
He thought, how could a good girl like Summer possibly like a playboy like Spencer?
Drinking coffee, the two chatted about the script, finding a common topic.
As they chatted, he looked at his watch, "Summer, it's almost dinner time, how about dinner? My treat."
