Cicely paused for a moment, then quietly put her hand down.
"Manicures are such a pain."
A sly smirk appeared on Seth's lips.
He remembered the scar on the back of his hand where she'd scraped him with her nail.
Hearing that Seth and Cicely had gone to the bathroom together, Danielle felt a pit in her stomach.
But now, he and Cicely were obviously avoiding each other. They hadn't spoken a word to each other since the beginning, not even a glance.
Maybe she was overthinking.
Seeing the man's indifference lessen a bit, Danielle also relaxed a little.
However, her gaze stopped on his lapel.
She reached out and lightly patted his lapel, "Why is there a water stain on this?"
As soon as she said it, her expression froze. She looked up at this tall man.
A man as noble and tidy as him, even wearing a suit all day, would not have a speck of dirt or wrinkle.
Now there were two obvious water stains on his lapel, and it certainly wasn't his doing.
Seth looked down at the two water stains on his suit, his eyes showing no surprise or disdain.
It must be from when Cicely had just grabbed him with her wet hands.
He smiled faintly. If he looked closely, he seemed to see the imprint of her fingers.
Danielle was shocked at his indifference.
He shouldn't be this way. If it was before, he would definitely change his clothes immediately.
Why was he so unusual today?
She turned her head to look at Cicely, suddenly remembering the napkin she had just thrown away, and Dewey passing her a napkin.
Her eyes widened.
She looked again at the two water stains on Seth's chest.
The elevator door opened, and Seth stepped in. Danielle stood still, watching him with a pale face.
Seth turned around, staring at her, and said coldly,
"Aren't you coming in?"
Danielle opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to start.
Seeing the elevator door about to close, Seth didn't even bother to hold it for her. Her eyes reddened slightly, feeling hurt.
"Seth..."
Cicely turned her head to look at her in surprise.
Was she finally getting angry?
A few seconds later, Cicely laughed sarcastically and followed Dewey into the elevator.
She reached out to close the elevator, staring at her now dry hands.
Danielle's reaction made Seth frown.
"What's up?"
"Did you secretly meet Cicely?"
Seth squinted his eyes, watching as the elevator doors began to slowly close.
Danielle clenched her lips, staring hard at Seth.
The elevator door closed, and he didn't hold it for her.
How cold could this man be?
She had been with him for so many years. Even if she was a dog he kept, he shouldn't have left her so heartlessly.
More importantly, he didn't give her an answer.
What did his silence mean?
