Alicia was surprised by Layla's straightforwardness. She finished her milk and smiled a little, saying, "I consider Mr. Hanson my friend."
"Oh? Friends, huh?" Layla smiled meaningfully, taking the jam and spreading it skillfully on her bread.
Layla couldn't understand this subtle affection. Especially Chuck's feelings for Alicia, silently loving her without expressing it. It drove her crazy.
For Layla, if you like someone, you pursue them, and if you can't catch up, you move on. Life goes on without anyone.
After breakfast, Layla left. Alicia took her phone and sat on the living room couch, calling Louis.
An unfamiliar female voice answered the call, but Alicia still recognized it. It was Ginevra's voice.
Alicia felt particularly uncomfortable and itched as if she had been pricked by a wheat stalk.
After a moment of silence, Alicia spoke in a cold voice, saying, "Is my man awake?"
