If that were the case, Aria originally thought she would be able to comfortably chat with Josh Nolan, but now she didn't feel like it would be natural at all. It would definitely be awkward to have dinner with him, so Aria didn't care what Manuela said, she just wanted to refuse in her heart.
"Um, actually, I might have been a bit presumptuous just now. My point wasn't that... I meant to say I might be too busy to have dinner with your brother. Can we take a rain check and discuss it later?"
Aria's tone was full of negotiation, unsure if Manuela would agree.
Manuela knew that Aria was busy right now and wasn't lying, but she thought that Aria could agree when she was confused just now, so why couldn't she agree now? Generally speaking, Manuela still felt hopeful and thought there must be some way. she looked at David Thompson, thinking he should understand her meaning, right?
