Aria smirked slightly, deciding to ignore Lucien for now. She turned her attention back to Ronan, a playful gleam in her eyes as she crossed her arms.
"Well," she said, her tone teasing, "if you're going to keep me up all night, you'd better be prepared for the consequences. I'm not exactly easy to handle."
Ronan's grin widened, his eyes lighting up with amusement. "Oh, I wouldn't have it any other way," he replied smoothly, his tone dripping with flirtation.
Lucien's grip on his phone tightened, and for a split second, his cold mask cracked, a flicker of something darker flashing in his eyes.
But Lucien didn't comment. He simply stood up and left, his cold demeanor unwavering. The door clicked shut behind him, leaving Aria and Ronan staring after him in silence.
