Chapter 189: Elsewhere
"What?" Coco blinked owlishly and stared at Quizen.
The angry mediator looked bashful all of a sudden, his face still carrying the signs of anger, but his energy suddenly different, and his earlier anger seemingly forgotten.
He looked away from the woman before him who had a puzzled look on her face, his cheeks tinged with a light blush, a hint of shyness creeping in.
Quizen did not expect her to leave the man she was with and go to him instead because leaving the man alone on the table and ultimately choosing him over that unnamed man— her unexpected action was making him flustered.
He looked away, his gaze darting around the room, avoiding looking at her directly.
He felt awkward and embarrassed like he was caught red-handed, a feeling he was unaccustomed to, and he had no idea how to react.
Quizen’s body language had shifted, his shoulders slumping slightly as he looked away, now feeling embarrassed by his outburst in a busy place where people were gathered to eat their meal.
He scratched the back of his neck, a nervous gesture, as he avoided her gaze, a small smile playing at the corner of his lips despite his best efforts to hide it.
"I.. I don’t know how to do this, but I’m sure you can guide me, right?" Quizen muttered, swallowing the lump forming in his throat as his gaze shifted from the floor to look at Coco’s face, his blue irises twinkling with something she couldn’t quite name.
