Noticing the look in Sonia and Arielle's eyes as they stared at him, Aaron knew that the fact that he conspired with the former's teacher had come to light. At that, he turned a tad embarrassed despite being thick-skinned usually.
“I've still got something to do, so please excuse me.” As soon as he had finished saying that, he hurried away, leaving a thin and lonely back in his wake.
When Sonia saw that, a sliver of anguish crept into her.
“Since you're here anyway, why don't you stay? We can all eat together,” she suggested instinctively.
Elation promptly inundated Aaron. I've been waiting for that proposition for ages!
He reflexively cast his gaze at Arielle, putting on a pitiful expression to garner her agreement.
Arielle was quite hungry after having performed an operation. She didn't mind whomever she dined with as long as she could fill her stomach, so she neither agreed nor objected.
Seeing that she didn't decline, Aaron was instantly over the moon.
Doesn't she hate me pestering her? Why did she agree to eat with me? Could it be that she had discovered how great I am?
At that line of thought, he smirked at her with joy dancing in his eyes and drawled, “Since the two of you have invited me warmly, it'll be embarrassing to you if I don't go.”
In response, Arielle rolled her eyes at him.
Good Lord! He's really taking a mile when he's given an inch. When did I extend an invitation to him warmly? I merely didn't rebuff him, okay?
At that, she huffed, “Suit yourself! You can leave if you don't want to join us. You don't need to be so concerned about embarrassing me.”
“But I don’t want to embarrass you.” After saying that, Aaron hastily opened the car door and gestured for the two ladies to get in before she could say anything further.
