Seeing how the situation was getting intense, Ethan tried to make peace yet again.
"Alright, alright. I hereby announce that Joanna and I are merely friends. There is nothing else going on between us. As for Ace and Seraphina, they're definitely like siblings and nothing else. Shirley and I aren't exactly together yet. Therefore, everyone's still single. We're free to be romantically involved with anyone we like!
"It's rare for us to get together like this. Let's just enjoy each other's company and not cause a scene. That's something only elementary school kids would do. If everyone's on board, let's bump fists and call it a day. Alright?" Ethan extended his fist after that.
Seraphina was the first to respond by bumping her fist against his.
If she still held a grudge against Joanna now, she'd seem too calculative.
That was why she decided to change her tactic.
