Anaya felt that there was something off about him, but she could not tell what it was.
"Do you want to join us? We haven't ordered yet."
"But..." Yarden wanted to say yes. But at the sight of Hearst, who was staring at Yarden, Yarden changed his words right away, "Kim and I have already booked a table."
At that moment, Kim appeared behind him. "The waiter told me that there weren't any tables available now. Let's dine elsewhere."
Yarden turned around and looked at Kim with resentment.
He thought, you've just made me contradict myself!
Kim was perplexed.
Then Kim noticed Anaya and Hearst. "Ms. Dutt and Mr. Helms. It's been a while."
Hearst nodded, and Anaya smiled, "Mr. Simpson, since there isn't a table for you, how about joining us?"
Kim agreed without hesitation.
