Would he dare to offend Zinnia?
The answer was simple.
No way!
Thus, he raised his hands to surrender.
"All right. All right. It was just a simple joke. Nothing else. No harm was done. There is no need to be angry."
His voice was as soft as cotton.
Zinnia narrowed her curved eyes. "Just a joke? Why isn't anyone laughing then? It was a bad joke."
Darius easily nodded and went along with her, "Yes, yes, it was a bad joke."
"You are terrible at telling jokes."
"You are absolutely right. I'm super terrible at this."
Two friends went on and one. Zinnia kept pointing out his mistakes and Darius agreed to every single true or false accusation.
The way he suddenly turned into a softie, made Veronica stunned.
'What is wrong with this guy?' she wondered.
However, she didn't have time to think about it as she had some tasks to do.
