Jonah looked puzzled, "I just find it really weird. Balfour is usually so cocky; he's not the type to back down easily. Something's off. You don't think Balfour is trying to help Patricia by stealing Ellinor from Theo, do you?"
Kemp retorted, "You should really consider script writing, ya know?"
Jonah lost interest, "Alright then! I'm done discussing this with you! We're clearly not on the same page."
Belinda finished replying to all her friends' comments. Getting complimented on her photography skills left her flabbergasted and even a tad bit eager to show off.
So, she turned on her phone's selfie mode, pulled Ellinor in close, and said, "Ellinor, come on! Let's take a selfie. I'm gonna post these on social media later."
Ellinor managed a strained smile, going along with Belinda's antics and flashing a smile at the camera.
After snapping a picture, Belinda wasn't satisfied with what she saw on her phone, "Ugh? The front-facing camera just doesn't cut it. The rear camera takes way clearer pictures. Ellinor, let's take another one."
Before Ellinor could refuse, she was pulled back in for another shot.
After looking at the picture, Belinda still wasn't pleased. This one, taken with the rear camera, was all wrong angle-wise. They were both smack dab in the center of the frame.
"Ugh! It's so hard to find the right angle with the rear camera."
Ellinor was about to suggest they stop taking pictures, but Bartlett interrupted, "I can take the picture for you two."
Before Ellinor could refuse, Belinda handed her phone to him, "Thanks Bartlett, make sure we look good in the picture."
Bartlett chuckled. He set Belinda's phone aside, took out his own phone from his suit pocket, and said, "Let's use my phone; it has a better camera."
Ellinor didn't want her pictures to be on Bartlett's phone, but before she could say anything, Belinda had already agreed.
"Sure thing! Just send them to me when you're done."
Ellinor was at a loss for words.
