"M-Mr. Virethorn…?" The group leader stuttered when he saw who had arrived in their midst.
Zerra's cheeks flushed a bit, embarrassed. They were staring at her with shocked looks on their faces.
"Cassias?" She swallowed and called out to him again.
"Hm?" He mumbled incoherently but still didn't let go of her.
"People are staring," she whispered.
"Let them stare," he whispered back and continued to hug her.
After the people around recovered from their shock, they still stared at Zerra and Cassias with confusion in their eyes.
"Let me go first. I can't breathe." She nudged him in desperation.
"Sir… are you someone from Miss Zerra's family?" Amora stepped forward. The group leader's shocked words earlier were too quiet, and most of them didn't hear it.
"That's our friend, Zizi. She told us she might know where Miss Zerra is," Amora said. She seemed to notice Zerra's awkward expression and added, "Can you let go of her first?"
