Jalen was silent for a long time. Just when Elaina felt that he was going to be angry again, Jalen said, "I will take you to the birthday banquet tomorrow."
"No need."
Elaina refused. Under Jalen's murderous gaze, she said, "I have made an appointment with Saul."
She meant that Jalen was late.
Elaina saw Jalen's chest rising and falling violently and estimated that he should be on the verge of rage.
After a long time, when Elaina thought Jalen would not speak again, Jalen said, "Alright. I'll wait for you at the banquet."
Elaina did not say anything to provoke him. After all, it was not good to offend Jalen. She just wanted to cut ties with this man.
She ate the skewers and asked him, "Aren't you in a relationship with Alisha?"
"Who told you that?" Jalen retorted and explained, "We grew up together. At most, we are good friends."
