He reached out for a handshake, but I directly ignored him, my eyes fixed on the ring on his hand and said, "I ordered a custom ring but haven't picked it up yet. It looks remarkably similar to the one you're wearing, funny how our tastes align."
Hearing my sarcastic remark, Kieran forced an awkward smile.
Kate subtly stepped between us, her voice slightly shaky, "Kieran thought the ring looked nice, so I let him wear it for fun. When I received it, I didn't think too much. I'll have him take it off right now."
I let out a mocking laugh and then applauded, "Well done. A ring I spent a month designing, I didn't even get to wear it and you've already given it away."
Seeing my grim expression, Kieran fumbled nervously and kept apologizing in a submissive tone, "Mr. Brolin, please don't be upset. This isn't Kate's fault. It's my fault for being playful. I'll take it off right now and return it to you."
The more nervous he got, the harder it became to remove the ring. He was so desperate that he was nearly in tears. Under the gaze of the crowd, I ended up looking like a bully picking on someone weaker.
