"What did you say?"
Allen looked at the girl who had her brows knitted and soft pink lips pursed. It was evident Su Ning was upset. He gulped in nervously and reiterated his words. "Chris gave his blessing for me to pursue you." Allen saw Su Ning's eyes narrow at his words and he shivered anxiously.
'Why is Karina upset? Is it because I reached out to Chris regarding this without her knowledge? But they're bestfriends…' Allen wondered in confusion. Yet no matter how confused he may be at the moment, Allen was a smart young man; he knew that women are 'always' right. That's what his matriarchal household had instilled in him. 'First off, I must apologize. Then, I can figure out what I did wrong later,' he decided.
"Uhh… Karina, I'm sorry if I overstepped my boundaries. I just… I wanted to get Chris's approval since I knew you two are close. I apologize for not telling you about it," Allen admitted, bowing his head in repentance.
