August retorted as he glared at the hand that was holding on to Gwenda's arm.
The air was filled with an ominous aura that caused the room to feel cold.
...
Realising that something was amiss, Gwenda looked up at the two men and quickly stepped forward. "August, please don't get the wrong idea. He's my friend, Olivier Petit. Mr. Petit, this is my cousin, August Reed."
"Friend?"
"Cousin?"
The two men looked at Gwenda in surprise.
Gwenda was under immense pressure. She laughed dryly and said, "Yeah."
"You..."
August wanted to give her a lecture.
Gwenda cut him off though. "August, you're finished on your end?"
August grunted in confirmation and asked, "What were you two doing just now?"
"N-nothing! Since it's over, we can go now."
Gwenda went up to her cousin and grabbed his hand, dragging him away as she said, "Mr. Petit, we'll be leaving first."
"Gwenda, let go of me..."
August roared angrily, "Don't try to fool me!"
"Let's talk as we go..."
Gwenda forcibly pulled him away.
Olivier stood there under the light, his dark eyes watching as the two vanished in the distance. Suddenly, a laugh escapes him.
Cousin?
Olivier facepalmed in exasperation.
His rage had really made him lose all sense of reason.
...
August was dragged by Gwenda until they got to the main entrance of the hotel. He finally shook off Gwenda's grip on his hand and demanded, "Gwenda, you better give me a good explanation about what just happened!"
"I..."
"Don't try to lie or I'll snap your neck in two!"
"That sort of distance.
A man like that.
To say that there is nothing going on between them would be foolish!"
August thought in furious disbelief.
Gwenda bit her lip out of embarrassment, and only caved under the pressure of August's stare. "Well, it's exactly what you're thinking of. But I'm not in a relationship with him. He's wooing me though."
"Wooing you?"
August snorted and looked at her incredulously. "Is he blind?"
"What the heck is that supposed to mean?"
Gwenda glared at him unhappily, "How is he blind if he choose to woo me?"
