"Y-yes, I'm Ayesha Pattane!" She replied clumsily. Her voice betrayed the stare that had bravely met Daniel Garibaldi.
"Oh. I'm Daniel. Daniel Garibaldi." Daniel pulled a chair right in front of Ayesha and sat down after he briefly introduced himself in a cool manner.
Ten minutes after that, they were silent and only glanced at each other without anyone intending to start a conversation first.
Daniel had been forced to come because his mother kept pushing him, and he also did not want to talk much as he was not someone who liked to open a conversation with people he was not familiar with.
Fortunately, the girl sitting across the table was the daughter of his mother's best friend, so Daniel tried to refrain himself from speaking in a harsh tone, even though he usually did not like being stared at like some prey being targeted by a wild animal.
