These two men are more like a couple than Louis and Charlotte.

Zachary glowered upon hearing the whisperings. This gossip happened to back Bruce’s suggestive remark earlier.

“Goodness! What are they talking about?” Louis was so embarrassed that his cheeks flushed. “They actually thought that you and I…”

He pointed at Zachary and then at himself. Right after that, he covered his face bashfully.

Zachary couldn’t help but roll his eyes. Ugh… this is just great. How typical of you to use such exaggerated body language.

 

“Louis!” Charlotte called out.

“Here!” Louis was just about to rush to her side, but Zachary held him back. Tense, Louis tried to push Zachary away. “Hey, let go of me. Everyone is thinking that there’s something fishy going on between the two of us, and yet, you’re still holding my hand. We’re never going to be able to clarify this.”

 

“You trust her instead of me?” Zachary asked with his furrowed eyebrows.

“No…” Louis was hesitant to make a choice, so he returned, “Well, you can stay and dine with us. Whatever there is, let’s leave it until after the meal, alright?”

“Okay!” Zachary released his grip on Louis.
