Patel stood up and walked towards the upstairs. She had wanted to go shopping with Alice, But she felt that it's inconvenient. She wasn't part of this family and she shouldn't think that she is. She is here for a temporary period and she shouldn't get attached emotionally with any person here.
She was about to climb the stairs when she heard Noah calling her.
"Patel." He called and she turned around to look at him.
Patel looked at the small gift bag in his hand and then looked at him.
"I thought that you went with Alice, But I met her on her way out. She told me that she didn't want to go shopping with her. Why is that?" He asked, noticing the sad look in her eyes.
"Nothing, I just didn't want to go." She replied, signaling.
"That's alright, But I hope that you don't refuse my invitation to dinner tonight." Noah said, smiling at her.
Patel didn't know what to say, Should she accept his invitation or decline it? She felt confused.
