After some time, Melanie finally bid her farewell with a heavy heart. When she departed, Zoey raised her head towards Cora Ma who was sporting a poker face at the moment. Zoey awkwardly chuckled, glancing at Ivan which Cora's eyes unconsciously followed.
"My brother. Hehe." Since Zoey ws trying to resort to pushing all the blame to her innocent darling, she decided to divert her best friend's attention to the other person inside the room: Ivan.
"Yo." Ivan greeted, perking his chin up without much interest in knowing Zoey's friend. Well, he already knew her, her occupation, family background, and so on. So, it was safe to say that Ivan knew Cora Ma, although this was technically their first meeting; Ivan knew her entire life story.
