Layla was the one who had asked her out for dinner that night, and it was regarding the matter between Christopher and Yuliana.

Layla said, “I’m sorry, Annabelle. I don’t think I can continue eating dinner with you tonight. So, why don’t you

Upon hearing Yuliana’s calm voice, the kidnappers looked back briefly. Then, they exchanged glances, clicked their tongues, and said, “Miss, you still care about how long you’ve been passed out?
