Rationality was the only thing restraining him from confronting Roy.
Suddenly, Susie grasped Neville’s arm with an apologetic smile.
“Neville, sorry to keep you waiting. What were you looking at just now?”
Prior to her arrival, Susie had noticed Neville’s distant demeanor.

Her tone lightened, half-joking, half-serious.
Disliking the turn of events, Neville clarified, “You know, it’s not like that at all.”
“Then, let’s go say hello.” Before Neville could react, Susie was already striding towards Miley’s table.
Seeing that he couldn’t stop her, Neville hurried after her.
He was anxious to prevent any unpleasant encounter.

Neville was momentarily speechless, unsure how to respond.
Miley declined with a slight smile. “No need, my boyfriend will cover it”
Adopting a distant yet polite demeanor, Stella interjected, “Miss Blakely, is there something else? If not, please, we’d prefer not to be disturbed.”
Susie’s expression changed in an instant.
“Stella, enjoy your meal.” Neville hurried to take Susie away.
