Uoron was speechless, Reen had said her piece without pause that Uoron who was normally quick witted did not have the leisure or was not given the leeway to answer or interrupt her.
"I was obviously talking to Claire why did she leave as though her as* was on fire [1]." He thought to himself still a bit shocked.
"You, what did you say for her to run like she was in some kind of a dicey situation [2]" Claire accusingly stared and asked Uoron feeling slightly reluctant o part with her idol so soon.
Snapping out of his thoughts, he frowned at Claire which made her flinched.
"Sheesh! I was only asking." She thought as she drank her tea in silence
To not receive his wrath she opted to change the topic. She placed her tea and half eaten biscuit on the table clapped her hands together to get the crumbs off and stood up.
"Since she left why don't we have that promise lunch you told me about." Completely ignoring by now the previous situation.
Trying to act cute as she held his arm and looking pitifully at him. Seeing her act this way he signed and pulled his arm softly away and went towards his desk
"Alright, just wait a bit I'll just tidy this up and we can leave."
"Alright!" Having been able to avoid the critical situation she smiled and sat down looking at him with interest while she waits.
"I thought she was smart but I guess I have to say it for her to really get what I meant." He muttered to himself.
After he was done arranging his documents (though Harold could have done it for him) he took his phone and wallet on the desk and beckoned for Claire to follow him out.
She beamingly smiled and jump up away from the sofa and followed behind Uoron but before they could open the door, the door was opened from the other side. Uoron stopped abruptly which made Claire who was following close behind bumped her little nose at his back.
"Hey! What gives!" she sulked as she rubbed her red nos. As she was vertically challenged [3] she stood beside Uoron but half of her body was still behind him. Seeing the couple before them she stiffened and unconsciously held his cloth with her left hand as she clenches the other on her own clothes.
The man had similar features with Uoron with the same face as him but a few years older, the only difference where their eyes. One was cold while one was filled with holier than thou [4] presence.
The woman on the hand had had similar features with Claire except for the shades of their hair. She stared lovingly at the people in front of her while being oblivious to everything such as the dropping of the temperature in the room.
[1] Someone who is very much in a hurry
[2] A dicey situation means something is unpredictable, just like the dice in a game.
[3] Someone who is short
[4] Characterized by an attitude of moral superiority.
