Their lips parted, but no words came out. They just stared at each other in disbelief. Angela sat back, trying so hard not to laugh. She thought they would realize it was a joke, but they looked too shocked to even blink. It took almost three minutes before anyone could say something.
"You're still joking," Stales finally said, squinting at her.
"I'm serious. I have Alex and Stales as my mates. Isn't that a good thing?" Angela said with a straight face, but she couldn't hold it in for long. Her laughter broke out loud and clear.
"You almost got me," Stales said, slapping his palm against the desk. He leaned back in his chair and let out a small laugh of frustration.
"I knew you were lying. If you were my mate, I'd have sensed it immediately," Alex added with a playful smile. He turned to Stales and added, "She got only you. I snapped out of it just in time."
