"What's going on?" Oliver frowns in the direction of the bar.

He has been staring in that direction ever since Scarlett Fuller left. He said he was into her, but I thought he was joking. I mean, they barely knew each other. Even if he is interested in her, it can only be so shallow.

"Nothing is going on, it's a bar and she is an adult," I tease him, "If you really are worried about her, maybe you should help me figuring out why she's afriad of me."

I wouldn't want such a random problem getting in the way of me getting to know her. I mean, she's likely a Vanderbilt.

I mean, except for the first time when I thought she bullied my Alice. I guess I haven't been exactly friendly to her, but it's because I didn't want to rush into anything. "You never accused me of being cold to Ava. Why?" I ask Oliver curiously, "I treats them in the same way."
