"Drive safe, okay?"
David had already gotten into his car and was about to drive off when Aria called out from behind.
She could only nod awkwardly. What kind of response was she expecting? Surely she didn't want her to act like they were some deeply involved couple?
Watching David's car drive away, Aria was genuinely delighted. She couldn't wait to see the look of disappointment on Mallia Mamet's face.
George had been sitting in the living room all this while. As Aria saw off David, George was right there, so he knew it wasn't easy for him to just get up and leave.
If he were to rush off, it would seem as if he was scared or guilty, but what did he have to feel guilty about?
"David was here just now."
George was stating the obvious. He had seen everything, and it always felt difficult to start a conversation.
"Yeah, didn't you see everything?"
It was probably out of curiosity that George wanted to know what would happen next. So he asked Aria another question.
