" Alright then, suit yourself " He said, and looked sideways hoping Shane would call him but he never did.

He gave up and glared angrily at Shane who wasn't looking at his way. " Gosh, you're so annoying... " He groaned. " Let's leave, we've outstayed our stay here " Alec muttered, standing up and Shane did the same without delay.

" Hey " Mirah tapped Layla whose head was bent on the table she was seated. Layla felt a cold hand on her skin and she raised her head to Mirah's face, she arched her brows.

" They're leaving " Mirah muttered, her gaze glued at a direction. Layla raised her head and truly she saw the two leaving.
