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.

"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?"
