Upon hearing this, Amelia wasn't disappointed at all.
Instead, she asked with gossipy enthusiasm, "Going with that Zion who lives across from you?"
"How did you know?"
"Do you think I don't know everyone around you?
Aside from me, there's only Colton and Richard.
You'd never bother with Richard, and if it were Colton, you'd have told me outright.
Process of elimination leaves only Zion."
My gaze drifted to the distant skyscrapers twinkling with neon lights as I chuckled lightly.
"Alright, alright, nothing escapes your sharp eyes."
After exchanging a few more casual remarks with her, I hung up.
Turning around, I saw the man had already woken up.
I pocketed my phone, my smile fading as I spoke calmly, "Since you're awake, you should head back."
His dark eyes fixed on me intently.
"So eager to avoid me now?"
"No."
I shook my head and walked into the living room.
"I just want to spare myself unnecessary trouble."
