As the trio descended the stairs, Damien Sterling approached head-on, catching Logan Harrington's gaze inadvertently drifting towards Emma Hart. Emma quickly averted her eyes, her look one of confusion and slight irritation, which she promptly returned with a stare.
Logan then turned and walked towards Damien, squinting slightly and murmuring under his breath, "What's the situation?" Damien, striding ahead and focusing straight forward as if oblivious to anyone beside him, replied nonchalantly, "Just grabbing a meal, what else?"
Logan playfully grimaced at Damien, teasing, "Go eat with her then. Why drag me into this?" Damien's reply was icy, "Who's interfering with whom is still up for debate." He continued forward, his demeanor cool and detached, even towards his close friends.
