"Oh, what a coincidence!" Sean exclaimed as he raised his hands in an awkwardly comical way. He wasn't much of an actor so he was a little stiff.
Cleo smiled and pointed to the restaurant across the street. "Do you come here often? Max is opening a restaurant there soon. Make sure to check it out," she shamelessly advertised.
Sean grinned at the woman awkwardly, "Oh yes, I work near here. I'll definitely check it out."
"Are you working right now? What time do you finish work? Max and I were planning to grab some dinner and visit a karaoke bar that his friend owns. Would you like to join us?" Cleo suddenly asked as she looked at the man with hope.
Sean glanced at Max awkwardly. Max did not look pleased. But, the mention of a karaoke bar reminded Sean that Jackson owned one. Could Halia be there?
Sean quickly realized it was a good opportunity to investigate Halia's whereabouts and confirm her safety, so he agreed.
