Not Plan B

The silence seemed to be felt more and more on the hair on Alfred's neck, which looked a little bristling because George, who was in front of him, just stared at him without a word.

Alfred's throat felt dry instantly, not to mention his stiff body, nervous to face George.

Is it because Alfred was afraid that George would reject him outright, not allowing him to get close to Kezia?

No, that's not the reason!

Not because he was afraid of being rejected by George who caused Alfred to be like that, but he was more fearful that George's view, who previously trusted him, is now starting to fade because he feels betrayed because he has fallen for the charm of Kezia, a beautiful, innocent, and sincere girl.

"S ...- sir," Alfred said stammering, trying to get his voice out after a moment's silence.

George was still reluctant to answer, and only his eyes seemed to speak to him, which he himself did not understand the meaning of George's gaze to him.
