Hannah wanted to retort, but Chandler whispered something and stopped her.

Then, Ashton called me. I took the call, and he said, “I just finished my meeting. Are you hungry?”

I felt more at ease after hearing his voice, then I went to the balcony. “No. Just had barbecue with my friends. Nora came today, and Hannah’s around too, so I was going to call you over, but you were working, so that’s that.

He was quiet for a moment. “Sure.” Armond and us weren’t friends anymore, so that was the only way I could deal with Armond for the time being.
