Cindy did not say anything. I tugged on her sleeve. She was a little impatient before she looked up and replied, "Sorry, I'm working right now."
I could see that Zedd also had a somewhat unhappy expression on his face. It was a gradual loss of patience.
"You can afford a few minutes.” I pressed Cindy's phone.
"It just so happens that Theo and I also have to go to the supermarket to buy some things. When you're done talking, you can come look for me again or we'll make an appointment to meet another day. Anyway, we'll go first."
After saying that, I pulled Theo out of the restaurant and disappeared.
At first, Theo did not understand what was going on. When he turned around and saw Zedd standing there, he understood.
"Don't go so fast. They won’t catch up." He carefully shielded me, afraid that something would happen to me.
For my part, I hurriedly pulled him along and hid around the corner before peeking back.
Theo inclined his head and slightly bent back to look back. The two were still standing in the same spot.
"When did you become such a busybody?"
"You don't understand." I was beginning to resent Theo's foolishness in this regard.
"It was a tough love between Cindy and Zedd before this. Plus that little episode some time ago, these two are considered bitter lovebirds. It was so hard to get them together. This is a rare chance."
"Bitter lovebirds? You've been watching too many TV shows." Theo finished speaking and pulled me toward the entrance of the mall, forbidding me to stay.
"No matter what, the two of them will take care of their own matters. Don't get involved. You should only focus on taking care of yourself."
He once again admonished me.
I hesitated for a moment and took his hand to walk closer to him. "Don't worry, I’ll restrain myself."
