The stalemate was interrupted by the sudden ringing of his phone, Reen and Bill got startled a bit by the sudden noise. They looked at Uoron who was getting his cell phone out his pocket as they then exhaled at the dissipating oppressive feeling surrounding them.
"Hello? Where are you?" A familiar feminine voice came out from his phone gaining a raised brow from Reen, her earlier embarrassment disappeared and a loud exhale coming from Bill could be heard.
"Hmmm… No… Alright then, hmm… Alright." Uoron answered
He ended the call then pocketing his phone afterwards. He completely ignored Bill and addressed Reen.
"Can you go home by your own? He asked.
"Yes."
Having reign her emotions she replied in a somewhat nonchalant and disinterested manner making him raised his brow in return but assuming it was because of the interruption he did not think too much about it.
Reen still did not know that Claire was in reality Uoron's half-sister thus leading to her negative reaction. Uoron being oblivious on how he acts around Claire that will surely cause various misunderstanding did not link her mood with Claire at all.
"Alright then, it's rather late so you should call them rather than wait for them any further."
They then stared at each other's eyes, one was trying to prod another's feelings while another indifferently stared at him.
"Well then…" Uoron sighed
He stood up, he gestured for her to leave with them. As they were walking towards the door, Bill hurriedly moved over to give way to them.
Knowing that she was acting somewhat childish and defensive as they were walking outside the shop towards Uoron's company followed by Bill, Reen's earlier indifferent attitude mellowed down.
Click!
Then out of nowhere the sound of a clicking camera was heard.
They both turned their head and found Bill smiling broadly and looking sheepishly at them.
"Sorry, seeing the way you walk close together and the compatibility to your height and stature, I could not help but take out my phone to take a picture of your model like silhouette."
Despite knowing he was just saying things as he was trying to lighten the mood, Reen blush at his words and stared at him.
After sometime they continued to walk while the mood between the three became lighter and more comfortable.
Bill's little scheme actually made Uoron's mood better. Seeing how Reen reacted, his mood became even better and he was not as angry with Bill as before which Bill was highly thankful for.
After sometime, they talked about each other's likes, dislikes and everything under the sun [1].
[1] Everything under the sun means a very great number of things.
