Ronan tilted his head up. His eyes shone with worry when he stared at me.

All I could think about at the time was Michael, so I paid no attention to what Ronan was saying. I simply kept my head down as my heart thumped wildly. Shoot! I can’t believe we bumped into each other here!

“Anna?”

 

Ronan called out to me again when he noticed that I wasn’t reacting at all. His handsome brows were frowning slightly, and his gaze carried a hint of worry.

“Huh? What?” I blurted in surprise while shifting my attention to him.

 

“Something seems off about you. What’s wrong?”

“I-I’m fine. I just need to go to the ladies’ room real quick.”

Ronan’s expression changed after he heard what I said, and confusion started glowing in his eyes.

I had tilted my head up and snuck a peek at Michael. Anxiety ran wild in me when I saw that he was staring at me, so I excused myself and quickly got out of my seat. After that, I rushed to the washroom.

Inside the washroom, I washed my hands and looked at my own reflection. I looked so nervous that it was ridiculous.

What are you worried about, Anna Garcia? He’s on a date with another woman, whereas you’re having an innocent meal with a friend. Why are you scared?

I glared at my reflection as regret donned my face. Michael is the one at fault; he agreed to go on a date with that woman. Why do I have to feel guilty?

I splashed some water on my face before I exited the washroom. Unfortunately, I was pushed to the wall as soon as I walked out of there. My back was hurt, and my first instinct was to cuss aloud, but I never had the chance to do so. When I saw that the perpetrator was Michael, my heart started thumping wildly, and I was nervous once more.
