Benjamin asked with a steady voice, "Larry, are you staying for dinner?"

"No need. Her word doesn't count." Larry squinted his eyes, giving Julia a cold look. "You think you're close with them?"

Larry turned to Benjamin and said, "I'm heading out first."

"Alright," Benjamin murmured.

Larry left first, with Julia quickly following him.
