Aengus, noticing her dawning recognition, leaned closer and spoke softly, his voice firm yet calm. "It seems you remember now. Good. Let's talk, Olivia."
Her friends looked at her, concerned. "Olivia, do you know him?" one of them asked hesitantly.
Olivia forced a smile, her voice strained. "Yes…he's…an old acquaintance."
Aengus' smile deepened, though his gaze held a commanding glint. "Shall we, then?" He gestured toward a quieter corner of the restaurant, leaving her with little choice but to comply.
Olivia followed him without a choice.
Seeing this, her female friends were stunned.
"Who is he? If I remember correctly, didn't she stop talking to boys after that trial?"
"Yes. It's my first time seeing her together with a man as well."
"Do you think she's finally dating someone?"
"Nah. From their body language, it doesn't look like it."
