"Hey, you… come here with me."
"Huh!"
Before anyone could react, Kael grabbed Ariana by the wrist and pulled her aside.
Everyone stared in shock as he pinned her with a sharp, piercing gaze that made her freeze in place.
Alina looked at Emilia with a piercing gaze.
"What happened?Why are you looking at me like that?"Emilia asked with a frown.
"Your boy…He is a playboy throughly."
"...."
....
"Tell me. What do you know?" Kael demanded.
"That…" Ariana bit her lip, her voice trembling as she looked away.
Seeing her hesitation, Kael sighed and softened his tone slightly. "You don't need to think so much. I know you have some secrets. I'm not trying to dig into things you don't want to say."
He leaned closer, his eyes steady. "Just tell me what you know."
Ariana hesitated again. She had never been this nervous in front of anyone. But Kael's steady gaze pressed on her, and after a moment she exhaled shakily.
