"Hey, Miss Rodríguez, you're a bit late today. Aren't you always the first one to arrive?" The speaker was a man wearing a floral shirt and floral pants, exuding a somewhat flamboyant vibe, resembling a bit of resemblance to Adam. His name was Daniel Cooper.
"Oh, are you commending me?" Elena retorted without hesitation. "I haven't said anything about all the times you've been late before. Today, I was just a bit late, and you're taking it so seriously. Are you secretly in love with me or something?"
Daniel was suddenly left speechless by Elena's comeback. No matter how he answered, it seemed like it wouldn't work.
It was a lose-lose situation, leaving him with a flushed face and unsure of how to change the situation.
Finally, he could only said, "I was just joking with you. Why are you so angry? By the way, who's this beautiful lady next to you? I've never seen her before. Is she some new girl from somewhere?"
