Because Ari lost control of her temper, her voice rose a bit. She attracted the attention of the people sitting at the next table and lowered her head in shame. A furious blush coated her cheeks as she muttered an apology to the couple, who looked deeply offended.
Ari did not know whether it was because they were upset over the fact that she had used such harsh and insulting words in their presence. Or was it because the two found her not pleasing to their eyes as she had …maybe… indirectly said something rude about their personal life?
Nicolai hit the surface of the table again and again with his palm. Apparently, this loss of temper was amusing in his eyes rather than despicable and annoying. Ari turned to look at the man with a glare in her eyes, but at the same time, she heaved a sigh of relief. The last time she lost composure like this, she met with a pair of reproaching, steely eyes that were filled with annoyance.
