On the other side.
Annabelle said in the car together with Leo quietly. Even if they didn’t say anything, they wouldn’t feel awkward.
Annabelle was always looking outside the car window, and the man didn’t know what was she thinking.
It was Leo the broke the silence in the end, “how was it? Are you not happy tonight?” Leo asked.
When Annabelle heard that, she turned her head towards the man. She looked at him and smiled, “of course not!”
“But your expression is telling me that you are not happy with the dinner!” Leo was confident.
“Because someone unnecessary appeared!” Annabelle said. She had no intention to keep it a secret from Leo.
When Leo heard Annabelle, he turned his head over to look at Annabelle, “it seemed that you didn’t have a good relationship with them.”
Annabelle chuckled, “it’s not that, that’s because we don’t share the same worldview.”
When Leo saw Annabelle’s expression, he smiled and didn’t ask further. He drove quietly.
It didn’t take long when they reached Annabelle’s apartment.
Annabelle unfastened her seatbelt then turned her head over to look at Leo, “I should be the one that should treat you for dinner, but you ended up paying for it!”
After hearing Annabelle’s words, Leo smiled. He had known her for two years and he knew her all too well.
“Just let me be on your good side today. You can just treat me some other day!” Leo chuckled.
When Annabelle heard the man, she was tickled. Then she nodded in agreement, “all right, let me treat you some other time!”
“Ok!” Leo nodded gentlemanly. He smiled gently and even his eyes were gleaming in gentleness when he was looking at Annabelle.
“All right, I shall go up first!” Annabelle said.
Leo nodded once again, “good night!”
“Good night!” Annabelle smiled. She pushed the car door open and walked out the car.
And then the woman stood by the car window and said, “be careful on your way back!”
