Kai's face contorted in confusion, his mouth opening as if to argue, but nothing came out. He exchanged a bewildered glance with Jay, who had remained silent but was now shifting uncomfortably. Jay raised a brow, clearly wondering what exactly Esme was accusing them of.
Esme, seeing the bafflement on their faces, crossed her arms, standing tall and triumphant, her voice sharp as she added, "Oh, you're pretending not to know, aren't you? Classic!" Her irritation was palpable, her movements and words biting as if she was enjoying making them squirm.
Esme, her arms still crossed, leaned in closer, her eyes narrowing with amusement. "Oh, then please tell me, Mr. Lawyer," she began, her tone teasingly formal as if she were addressing him in court, "whose brilliant idea was it for all of us to sleep together?" Her voice held a biting edge, and her lips curled into a mocking smile.
