Dinner ended in a strange, tense atmosphere. To be honest, not many people really enjoyed the meal.
Anna and Alice had been subtly competing the whole time. Since Ryan was there, Alice couldn't fully express her frustration, which left Anna in control of the situation.
In just half an hour, Alice was visibly upset—her face had darkened considerably.
The reason Alice had brought Anna over wasn't because they had reconciled. If it weren't for the fact that she had to let Ryan see Anna alive and well, Alice would never have done something so self-sabotaging.
"Thanks so much, Miss Alice. I had a great time tonight," Anna said, seemingly sincere as she thanked Alice. Alice's heart was bleeding—she wanted nothing more than to tear Anna apart, but all she could do was twitch the corner of her eye and nod without a word.
