"Thank you for the offer, but I'd prefer to work today," Selena politely declined Kelvin's proposition.
She aimed to gain valuable experience, and the prospect of idleness in the office, as Kelvin suggested, didn't align with her ambitions.
Jorge teased with a smirk, "She said she doesn't like your offer, Kelvin, so that means apology unaccepted."
"Tsk tsk! You're really enjoying this, right?" Kelvin muttered under his breath.
"Selena, how about you let me treat you to lunch today on behalf of this aloof man, my friend?" Jorge suggested, oblivious to the dagger-like glares from Kelvin.
With a sweet smile, Selena replied, "I don't mind having lunch with you."
Kelvin stood watching Jorge and Selena, a desire for that smile to be directed at him rather than Jorge lingering within him.
