"Did you even hear me talking?" Rafael had been rambling on for a while, but Flora didn't respond, her eyes seemingly drifting elsewhere, barely glancing at the screen. Flora was busy chatting with Connor on her computer. Hearing Rafael, she shot him a quick look. "Done talking? Then I'm hanging up."

Rafael, catching the occasional clatter of keyboard strokes from her side, asked, "What are you doing? Chatting with Connor?"

Flora nodded lazily.

Rafael's face scrunched up in accusation. "I'm talking to you, and you're not even paying attention, just chatting with him! Who's more important, him or me?"

The makeup artist nearly yanked out a chunk of Rafael's hair in surprise.

Was this the same wild and aloof Rafael they knew?

It was the first time seeing him act so childishly... like he was competing for attention.

"Hanging up."

Facing Rafael's sulky and accusing gaze, Flora calmly and indifferently ended the video call.
