Austin's gaze fell on me again. This time, there was resentment instead of complacency in his eyes.
He mouthed at me.
"Did you say something to Lara and instigate our relationship? You are such a despicable person."
I smiled and ignored him.
After all, paying attention to such a person was as boring as scolding the air.
In the morning, when I was about to go to work, I was surprised to see that Lara had made breakfast.
She was sitting on the sofa in the living room waiting for me.
"You're awake, Danny. Have some breakfast. I made it myself. I don't know if it suits your taste."
"No need. My colleague has already bought it for me," I said lightly.
The colleague I was referring to was the one who commuted to work with me. There was a breakfast joint downstairs from her house, and she always brought something for me. Of course, I paid her.
"I see... Then go wash up. I'll take you to work later. I'm sure you don't wanna trouble others always."
I stared at Lara as if she were a stranger.
What happened? She actually offered me a lift?
"No need. I'll take my colleague's car."
"It's too ... troublesome for others!"
"It's not. I pay for the gas. Besides, you're the one who finds it troublesome, remember?"
