"Why do you have to tell me all this? It's not like I absolutely need to know! Besides, isn't it dangerous for you to tell me these things? I mean, aren't you afraid that I might be in cahoots with the bad guys?"
Benjamin Swantz couldn't help but laugh when he heard those words. In cahoots with the bad guys?
"So, are you saying the person just now is the bad guy, or that I'm the bad guy?"
Mallia Mamet's eyes began to dart around because she didn't know how to respond. If they really got down to it, maybe Steve Harris was a bad person, at least not a good one, so Mallia didn't know what to say.
"Come on, I was just teasing you! Has your friend left already?"
Knowing that Benjamin was referring to Steve Harris, Mallia nodded.
"What, he just left? I thought he would stay with you or at least walk you home!"
Listening to Benjamin's words, Mallia felt a bit confused. Walk her home? Did that mean she could leave? Why didn't he say so earlier? He had never told her!
