Chase gave a smile, carrying a bit of coldness, "No biggie, just been missing the boss. I wanted to ask her out for a catch-up. But I must say, I'm kind of surprised to see you here, Mr. Blanchet. You're a real master of time management, huh?"
Chase was smiling, but his words were dripping with sarcasm.
"Compared to Mr. Larios, I'm still lacking." Theo remained expressionless, picking up a glass of juice from the table and handing it to Ellinor Mendoza.
He couldn't be bothered with Chase. If it weren't for Chase's relationship with Ellinor, he wouldn't give a damn about him.
Chase chuckled, about to say something, but was nudged lightly by Ida Gipson at the side, so he shut up.
Ellinor didn't really want Theo to come along, but he didn't like her meeting other guys alone, so she reluctantly agreed to his company.
And the situation then proved that his presence made the atmosphere awkward, leaving Chase and Ida no chance to say what they wanted to.
Just then, Theo's phone suddenly rang.
"Theo, are you at Twilight Bar now?"
Theo raised an eyebrow slightly and replied nonchalantly, "Yeah, how'd you know?"
Jonah feigned anger, "If it wasn't for someone telling us, we wouldn't even know you're back. How come you didn't hit us up?"
"Where you guys at?"
"We're also at Twilight Bar; we saw your car in the parking lot, so we thought we'd give you a ring. Want to join us for a drink?"
