章節 289: Unexpected Turn of Events

“No, thanks. I just dropped by because I wanted to experience the buzz and also to congratulate you on the release of your commercial. I’ll pass for today. I don’t think Karina would like me disturbing your dinner date,” Elizabeth turned down Ace’s invitation with a laugh and a dismissive wave of her hand.

I blinked rapidly in surprise as I wondered if I had misheard what she had just said. It felt like the perfect opportunity for her to spend more time with Ace, but she didn’t hesitate to turn down his invitation at all. The more I tried to understand what she was thinking or what she really wanted, the more I got confused. Regardless of the reason behind her decision to turn Ace’s invitation down, I was thankful that she would be leaving us alone soon.

“Thank you for coming,” Ace thanked her with a smile.

“I’m not exactly doing this for you. Enjoy your date!” she replied perhaps a little too cheerfully.
