C75 How Can I Team Up With Her

After thinking for a moment, I answered honestly. “No.” Alicia raised an eyebrow. “That’s it?”

I took a deep breath before continuing. “My first relationship ended about six months ago.” “I’m still trying to recover from it.”

The teasing expression disappeared from her face. She nodded apologetically and said, “Sorry.” I smiled lightly and shook my head. “It is fine. Some things are simply not meant to last forever.”

The moment those words left my mouth, both Alicia and Chris looked at me strangely. “What?” I asked. Chris folded his arms. “Brother, every time you say you are fine, you sound like someone who is not fine.” Alicia quickly nodded. “Exactly.”

I looked at the two of them and laughed. “Since when did you two start working together?”

Chris nearly choked on his drink. “We are not working together, how can I team up with her” Chris replied immediately.

Seeing his reaction, both Alicia and I burst into laughter. For a moment, all the worries in my heart seemed lighter.

Alicia then leaned forward slightly. “So, Nerd.” I already knew that tone. “What now?” “If your relationship ended six months ago, why do you still look so sad when talking about it?” The laughter around the table slowly faded.
