Professor Warner jumped in to lighten the mood. "Are you only seeing Norris? Am I invisible?"
Honoria quickly explained, "No, of course not. I just hadn't gotten around to greeting you yet."
"You're so handsome and charming. You're the center of attention wherever you go. How could I possibly miss you?"
Professor Warner chuckled. "I like hearing that, but I know where I stand."
"I might look handsome on my own, but standing next to Norris? I'm just the sidekick wherever we go."
Professor Warner was a man who loved stating the brutal truth.
Honoria's smile didn't falter. "How can you say that? Everyone has their own strengths. I definitely don't see you as a sidekick."
Professor Warner knew exactly how empty her flattery was.
But looks were given by parents, and he wasn't going to feel insecure just because he wasn't a supermodel.
As long as he wasn't standing next to Norris, he was still a handsome guy compared to the average overly confident man.
"You're right about that."
He had no desire to chat with Honoria in the doorway.
Couldn't she see that Norris and Claire were already losing patience?
Though neither of them said anything, their gaze wandering to the ceiling and the floor made it glaringly obvious.
"Well, maybe we should head inside. Blocking the doorway isn't exactly ideal."
Valerie appropriately offered the suggestion.
Honoria suddenly remembered her uncle was waiting upstairs and realized she couldn't keep stalling them.
Her uncle was strict about everything except spoiling his daughter.
If they delayed any longer, he might come down to see what was taking so long.
"Right this way," Honoria said, then glanced at Claire. "And you too, Claire."
Claire raised an eyebrow.
