Chapter 417: Counter
"What are you doing!?"
Dani hissed at Abel the moment they entered her private cabin. She had practically dragged him with her there after what he said to Taro.
"I’m simply informing Taro that you’re already taken, Dani. Is there anything wrong with it?" Abel nonchalantly remarked as he walked towards a vacant chair and comfortably sat on it. Crossing his legs together, he scoffed, "We do have an agreement to be together, right?"
Dani simply glared at him, but it didn’t bother him at all. Except that...
"Wait, don’t tell me you like Taro?" Abel directly asked her with a frown.
"Of course not!" she defended herself. "What are you saying?!"
Her answer gave him such relief. After all, he wouldn’t want to experience the scenario of Dani having someone she liked other than him.
"So why are you acting like that then?" Abel questioned. "You look like you didn’t even know what to do a while ago after hearing his confession. As such, I took the initiative to help you out."
"But what you did was way too rude. I mean, Taro is a nice man, and I believe I should at least reject him in a nice way," Dani retorted. "He just confessed his genuine admiration to me, and then you just suddenly appeared and threatened him. He’s been nothing but nice to me since the start, and being treated that way just feels nice! Why are you even here?!"
