[Estela's POV]
[Banquet]
A little time before.
"Z-Zhander . . . I want crabs," I said as meek as I can.
We were currently eating dinner at the fantasy-like setting by the beach at Sophia's debut.
After that incident a while ago, we returned to our hotel without so much as a squeak. I already said sorry to him, but the man still refused to talk to me as he continued to give me the silent treatment.
Zhander didn't say anything as he cracked the grab and expertly separated the meat and served it on my plate without a word, face all serious.
"Uhmm . . . O-oyster."
Again, Zhander just reached out and separated the oyster from its shell before serving it on my plate while avoiding any eye contact –– in complete silence.
Damn it! I already said I was sorry. Do I have to beg for his forgiveness?
I wanted to strike a conversation with him but too afraid of all this awkward silence he was giving me.
