However, after twenty minutes, Joshua Sulliven took off the tablecloth but never glanced at her.
Watching him wipe his hands with a neatly folded hot towel, Keira quickly got up from the ground, wanting to help him pull out the chair. But perhaps because she had been squatting too long, she felt dizzy and blacked out as soon as she stood up. She fell uncontrollably to one side.
Joshua's hand moved, seemingly about to catch her, but in the end, he let her fall. He didn't even acknowledge her, instead standing up as if to leave.
Falling on the soft carpet, she instinctively wanted to reach out to him, but seeing her hands still gripping the edge of the table, he pretended not to see and walked past her.
