Before turning around, Barclay glanced at the SUV parked nearby, then with a gentle smile, he led Moira into the villa.
Inside the SUV, Daniel glanced back at Felix in the rear seat. "You're getting ahead of yourself, aren't you? Her husband's waiting right here!"
Through the tinted windows, Felix watched their retreating figures, the amusement in his eyes fading gradually.
It wasn't until Moira and Barclay disappeared behind the villa's door that he withdrew his gaze, sneaking a glance at the rearview mirror. "You enjoy talking so much?"
Inwardly grumbling, Daniel thought, 'You're so arrogant! So impressive! Yet you let me chauffeur you around while you flirt!'
Moira's mind was filled with the sensation of being led by the hand, but as soon as they entered the villa, Barclay released her hand.
Her heart sank a bit, and she instinctively looked up at Barclay.
He happened to be looking at her, his gaze resting on her face. "Didn't you say you weren't interested in checking out hot guys?"
Moira felt a bit awkward. "We didn't go check out hot guys..."
He gave her a pointed look. "Isn't Felix hot?"
"Well, I wouldn't say he's not..."
"Yeah, so you did go check out hot guys."
It was a statement, not a question.
She bumped into Felix at the bar, and well, Felix was a hottie, so she did end up checking hotties out.
It felt off somehow, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
After a moment of contemplation, Moira found herself convinced by Barclay's flawless logic loop. "Alright, fine, I was checking out hot guys."
"So you lied to me?"
How did things escalate to the point where she was accused of deceiving him?
This was absurd!
Moira thought for a moment, then explained, "I didn't lie! I didn't even look at Felix. I have no interest in him! But Juliet is a huge fan of Felix. I had no choice."
Barclay looked at her for a moment, then suddenly chuckled. "Come here."
He motioned with his hand, then proceeded to climb the stairs.
He moved deliberately slow and clearly waited for her.
Seeing Moira lagging behind, Barclay halted directly in front of the staircase. "What's wrong?"
