"Ah, naturally, how could I have overlooked it? It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Evans and Mr. Amell Bliss," he remarked, glancing at each of them
At that instant, Angel sensed a palpable tension radiating from their eyes.
She looked at each of them, curious about how they were acquainted, but before she could ponder further, she heard Amell's voice.
"It's nice to meet you too," Amell said maturely, yet Angel detected something unsettling in his demeanor towards Arthur.
She sensed that something was terribly amiss between them, likely the cause of their strained expressions.
Arthur nodded, slipping his hands into his pockets before directing his attention to Angel. "Well, I would like to have a personal conversation with Angel, and since—"
"No, there's no need for that. I'll speak with you," Angel interjected, hurrying towards him before Evans or Amell could react.
Moreover, she found everything incredibly awkward with Riley, Amell, Tryson, and the Bliss family.
What secrets were they hiding from her, and why did it seem like they were dealing with internal conflicts?
Or maybe they were just putting on a show, but were they truly doing that?
