"Can't I?" Desmond feigned innocence with a shrug.
She rolled her eyes and chose to ignore him. He would simply come up with a random, insane excuse if she continued to argue with him.
A message popped up on her screen when their food had just arrived.
[Ryan: Zaria, can we talk?]
Her mood that had just brightened up dampened. What did Ryan want to talk to her about? What she hated the most was people who deliberately did mean things and made excuses for their actions later.
Desmond noticed her mood change and was curious. Who was texting her? Was it Liam?
He had noticed that she had been ignoring him lately, and he had a guess of what it was all about.
She pursed her lips and set her phone aside then continued smiling like nothing had happened.
He couldn't help chuckling. Were women able to switch their moods so fast?
