A Sudden Interlude

Joan and the others were stunned to see the man standing in front of them. "Anita? Do you know her?"

Anita looked at Eric without saying anything. The thing she had been worried about still happened.

"What? Anita, you don't know me anymore? Didn't we just meet this afternoon?" Seeing that Anita hadn't said anything, Eric smiled and continued.

"Anita, who is he?" Joan saw that the atmosphere wasn't right and asked.

"Anita, tell them who I am." Eric said again.

These words were too ambiguous and could easily be misunderstood.

Anita didn't want to respond to Eric's words, but she was afraid Owen would misunderstand.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard Owen say, "Joan, Mr. Bieber, you guys can go back first. Anita and I have something going on."

"Owen, let's go together," Joan said as he listened to Owen.

"No, you guys can go back first," Owen said with a wave of his hand.
