"Cali?"
Cali gave Rui an awkward smile as she murmured, "Dr. Dee."
"Oh I see you two know each other. That's good then." Rui's stepmother commented with a chuckle.
"Are you here with your grandfather?" Rui asked as he looked around.
"Yes I am, but he had to leave in a rush… There was some emergency…" Cali explained but paused when Rui suddenly pulled her wrist.
"Son.." Rui's stepmother grunted. Rui gave her a wink and said, "We would prefer to go on a date alone, MOM."
Cali noticed how sarcastically Rui uttered the word 'mom'. She gave the old lady a nod and a sweet smile. "Let's see each other again auntie at some other time." she quickly whispered while Rui was pulling her out from her chair.
"You wouldn't need to see her anymore," Rui mumbled. Cali could sense the irritation on his stern face as he led her to his car, opened the door and signaled her to get inside.
