Genevieve could tell Cooper wasn't in a good mood, so she stopped conversing with Armand and sat aside, quietly peeling the orange.

Armand sprayed the wounds on Cooper's face and asked, “Sally didn't appear?”

Armand replied, “If she really doesn't like you, she wouldn't have fallen into your trap. So, did you guys argue?”
