Moira felt guilty and avoided looking at Barclay. Before she could figure out how to explain everything, Barclay asked, “Are you friends with the housekeeper now?”

Moira replied, “No, we are not.”

Barclay did not reply to Moira. He sat down and gave Moira a meaningful look.

Moira quickly placed the plate of watermelon and grapes before Barclay, suggesting, “Have some watermelon. It’s so sweet”

Barclay chuckled when he observed Moira’s frantic attempts to please him with the watermelon slices. However, the next second, he returned to his usual icy look and said, “I don’t like sweet food.” He added inside, “Of course, except the sweet rabbit before me.”

Moira was shocked, thinking. ‘Should I change my wording and say the watermelon is only mediocre sweet?”
