Walking downstairs, I did not look at Hendrix, and softly said, "Okay." Then, I went into the kitchen. The housekeeper had already prepared a table full of breakfast on the dining table. Because everyone at home had a different schedule, they ate their meals at different times too. Freya had mentioned it to me before that except Valerie and Pedro who would get up early, while the rest would eat at odd hours. Hence, I wasn't too surprised.

Valerie carried some of the breakfast to the living room, returned to the dining table, and looked at me, "This morning, the Reids called and asked for us to dine together tonight. Everyone knows that you are back, so they want to meet up."

I stuffed a piece of cake into my mouth and said vaguely, "Sure, I should also pay a visit to Mr. Reid."

Seeing that I was in a hurry to eat, she put the milk in front of me and said helplessly, "Slow down, what's the rush? The breakfast is all yours anyway. Tell me honestly, what's going on between you and Hendrix?"

I took a sip of milk and mumbled, "What do you mean by that?"

She clicked her tongue and said, "Come on. We are not blind. You didn't even look at him! And you came home by yourself yesterday. This has never happened before!"
