However, at the restaurant, I unexpectedly ran into Kenneth and Yara.
They were intimately wrapped in each other’s arms, clearly looking like a couple.
My friend knew about my relationship with Kenneth and immediately tried to rush over. I stopped her and she read the look in my eyes.
She finally understood why I had decided to go abroad so suddenly.
She hugged me sympathetically.
But then, Kenneth suddenly saw me. He froze for a moment.
Yara looked up, her eyes meeting mine with an expression full of smugness.
I noticed the necklace around her neck. I should have known this was the gift he had given her.
The atmosphere at the table grew colder and I could feel the tension in the air.
Yara didn't give me a chance to refuse, pulling me to sit down beside them.
"Come on, sit down, don’t be shy," she said, her voice sweet, but her eyes were sharp and cold.
The meal was awkward and tasteless. Kenneth finally spoke up, "Nyta is my most outstanding student."
Yara chuckled lightly, her tone dripping with sarcasm, "That's impressive."
Halfway through the meal, I excused myself to go to the bathroom and Yara followed me out.
