At Dee's Mansion…
"Your mother has arranged a lunch meeting for you tomorrow." Rui's father authoritatively said. Rui did not comment and continued to eat dinner.
He shook his head… No wonder he was asked to dine with them tonight because they had something they needed from him.
"I'm sure this time you will like this family. I believe you also know them enough." his father continued. Rui had no interest in hearing this nonsense at all. He put down his spoon and fork and stood up.
With soulless eyes, he looked at his stepmother and said, "You can just message me the place, date and time from next time, instead of calling me over. I'm done with the dinner. Thank you for the meal."
"Sit down!" Rui's father yelled. Rui saw his stepmother comfort his father as if consoling him and let him slide this time. 'What a poker face!' Rui wanted to shout in her face. Only he could see her real face behind her meek and tamed mask.
