Zane shook his head. "Keep me company for a bit while I eat?"

"I just had lunch with Nat."

"You could eat something light."

Clearly, Zane didn't enjoy dining alone.

It was dull.

Bianca couldn't deny him and eventually accompanied Zane to the dining room. The room had French

windows, offering a clear view of everything inside from the outside.

She just... couldn't hear anything.
