Chapter 648: We’re both just trying to survive
Seated in an exclusive restaurant, Penny crossed her arms as she studied the man across from her. After seeing Finn standing right outside Nina’s work building while looking at her, she understood the message. Hence, here they were.
However, five minutes in, no one spoke a word. They just stared at each other in silence, the tea between them slowly turning cold.
"I’m not stalking her, if that’s what you think." After another full minute, Finn’s clear voice pierced through the thick silence between them. "And I’m not following you."
Penny smirked as she reached for her cup of tea. "You don’t have to be so defensive."
"I don’t want to deal with any unnecessary misunderstandings." He returned her smirk with a smile, watching her take a sip from her tea. "I was there because... I wanted to check on her. It’s been two days since she broke off the engagement."
"Nina is fine." Penny elegantly placed her cup down, fluttering her eyelashes ever so tenderly. "You’ve been together for quite some time now, so I’m sure you know that she’s brave and resilient."
Finn nodded. "Smart as well."
Penny shrugged as she leaned back, resuming her scrutiny of him. "Is that all you want to tell me?"
"No. I have a lot of things to say, but I don’t know where to start."
"The feeling is mutual."
