Pushing his phone in his pocket, he walked closer. "All okay?"

"Yes. Who were you talking to?"

"I um… I was actually talking to -" He halted on his words, sensing an indirect hint of something in her question. "Wait. Why?"

'Wow! You continue to set a new record as to how dumb you can really be, YOU FOOL! What was the need to ask?' She could not stop mentally cursing herself.

He raised his brows as a mischievous glint danced in his orbs. "Tell me. Tell me. Let me guess. You thought I was upset?"

"I hate you, Ilyan." She threw a fit, turning off the television, throwing the remote in a corner.
