Philip looked at her with a flat expression. “Why should I be angry?”

Barbara took a deep breath. “Since earlier, you haven’t wanted to talk

Philip sat down and picked up his tablet again. His demeanor was calm. However, Barbara could see a faint throbbing in Philip’s jaw.

“Are you sorry you rejected me?”
