Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 453

"Come on, don't tell me it's over already. Can't we talk this out?"

Leda scoffed, "Weren't you basically saying if I didn't agree, our deal was off?"

"I, for one, don't like being backed into a corner, and I despise flip-flopping. We had an agreement, and you want to change the rules mid-game? Are you kidding me?"

"I'm picky, you know. An unreliable partner? Better to cut ties early, save us both the headache, right?"

York straightened up, indignant. "How am I unreliable?"

Leda shot back, "So, are we rewriting the rulebook or what?"

"...Nah, let's not." He slumped back down.

Where's the backbone?

"Hmph! That's more like it."

York muttered under his breath, "I came all this way and haven't even had lunch..."

"What's that? Speak up, man! You'll die if you're a bit louder?"

"I said I'm starving!"

Leda paused, expecting a covert insult, only to realize...

"Mr. Gibson can't afford lunch now?"

York's temper flared, "I've been squatting at your doorstep for an hour. Where am I supposed to eat, huh?"
