" I can still go out and do my work of finding the culprit!" Esmi said, protesting the proposed house arrest of her.
"It doesn't matter. You're not leaving. Stay at home for a few days! That's final. I'll find who did it on my own," Ryder said as he glared at Esmi.
'What will I do inside the house? I'll get bored!" Esmi again said.
" You won't get bored. You can watch a movie or something else. In any case, I'm not letting you leave," Ryder declared, refusing to budge.
Esmi glanced back towards Bastion's door. Finding it closed, she walked towards Ryder.
"Can't you reconsider..." She said as she wrapped her hands around Ryder. Bringing her lips closer to his ears, she finished her sentence and whispered. "... Darling."
Ryder felt like facepalming himself as he saw her acting like that.
Slapping her butt gently, Ryder whispered back. "Do you think these tricks would work on me?"
