He asked in a deep voice, “What are you doing with my phone?”
I showed a calmness and composure I had never had before.
I quickly exited the Apple Pay interface, locked the screen, put the phone back on the table and said calmly, “My phone is out of battery. I’m borrowing yours to make a call.”
Marvin was half-believing and half-doubting.
I smiled and changed the subject. “Where have you been? So long?”
Marvin’s thoughts were scattered by me and a flash of panic flashed in his eyes.
He was busy making up stories. “I had a work call, so I went out to answer it.”
After he finished speaking, Fiona stood up suddenly. “Yolanda, my family is urging me, so I’ll leave first.”
She hugged me, with a faint scent of jasmine. “Happy wedding! Love you.”
I patted her back and asked, “Is he coming to pick you up?”
“No, I will take a taxi.” Fiona smiled bitterly. “You know, we are just getting married and there is no affection between us... How can he care so much about me?”
I noticed that Marvin’s eyes flashed with heartache.
He even took a step forward and took the initiative to say, “How about I…”
“How about you take Fiona home.” I interrupted Marvin’s words meaningfully.
