'Stay here?

And wait for him?

But Noah wants to invite me to dinner. Should I stay here and wait for John?'

Nina wasn't really sure if she should stay here and wait for John.

Judging from his tone, she could tell that if she didn't listen to him, he would get angry and might get even with her.

It was not easy for her to make peace with him. There was no reason she should cause more trouble.

Nina was so lost in thought that she didn't even hear Noah's approaching footsteps. His tall shadow engulfed her whole body as if he was holding onto her.

Without interrupting her thoughts, Noah stood there and waited for her to snap out of it. One looked calm, while the other was lost in thought. They stood in a harmonious silence.

Noah's colleagues started to talk in hushed whispers.

"Why doesn't he take the initiative? Should I help him?" Mr. Black was looking at them anxiously. He really wanted to at least get the ball rolling for them.

Tom said dismissively, "They're barely even friends. You're overthinking this."

Tom

that he didn't come here?

"Since you are not here, the two of us are going to have dinner together." Nina was deliberately provoking him. She was getting quite cheeky.

John asked, "Are you going to have dinner with him?"

Noah, who didn't know what was happening at all, received a trademark sharp glare from John.

He looked closer and unexpectedly saw John. Noah frowned slightly and looked back and forth between Nina and John.

How did Nina get to know John?

"Not with him only. You're coming as well." Not noticing the tension between the two men, Nina made her suggestion. "But you have to pay for your meal. Noah will pay for my meal."

As soon as she finished speaking, John tightened his grip on the steering wheel. He looked calm, but his head was spinning.

Three people having dinner together?

He had to pay for his own meal?

How could she think that having dinner with two men at the same time was a good idea?

Did she want relationships with both of them?

Did she forget who he was?

He wouldn't allow that.
