“I… I’m sorry, I was in a hurry and didn’t see you. I didn’t mean to,” Annie quickly explained.
After a brief moment of shock, Steven’s expression returned to normal. “It’s fine.” He then
turned to leave.
“You… How have you been lately?” Annie asked, staring at Steven with a hint of hesitation.
Steven’s tone was cold as he responded, “I’m okay.”

“Weren’t you going to the restroom? Why are you still out here?” Neville asked.

replied.
“Did you hurt yourself?” he asked with concern.
“No,” Annie said, discreetly pushing him away before entering the restroom.

Joe lowered his gaze to her, his eyes sparkling with a hint of desire. “How about we do something while sitting?”
“What?” Skylar didn’t understand at first.
But in an instant, she caught on and blushed. “Joe, we’re discussing Lizzie’s family issues here. Can you please clear your mind of those thoughts?”
Joe smirked. “It’s been half a month since we had any intimacy; hasn’t it? Are you trying to drive me crazy?”
