Chapter 49: Pass The Message
During breakfast, Arya was still in a daze as she stared blankly at Ryu. He was obviously not in a good mood and was neglecting her since last night.
"What’s going on between you two? You both have dark circles under your eyes. Didn’t you sleep at all?" Butler Omni asked. He noticed the unusual ambiance at the dining table.
The sugary public displacement of affection was replaced by pure dead silence.
Even their seating arrangement which was next to each other every meal was changed. Ryu was focused on his food but not eating it anyway. While Arya stole quick glances at Ryu from the opposite chair.
After a few more minutes, finally someone started speaking and it was Ryu.
"Butler Omni, I proposed marriage last night but did not receive a response." Ryu suddenly dropped bomb-like words, looking at Butler Omni.
"Butler Omni, do you think I can afford to answer a marriage proposal in the current situation at hand? Or let me rephrase it, do you think a sudden marriage proposal is even appropriate right now?" Arya answered looking at Butler Omni.
"It’s just answerable by ’Yes’ or ’No’. Was it that hard to answer?" Ryu asked and looked at Butler Omni once more.
"Butler Omni, I really can’t answer right now. Is it really hard to understand that?" Arya hissed also looking at Butler Omni.
