Colin lingered by the doorway, balancing two steaming cups of tea. It was clear he had arrived with the intention of offering

refreshment to them.

Mandy rolled her eyes. "Pfft. Eavesdropping."

Colin pursed his lips, his expression tightening slightly. "I wasn't eavesdropping. You didn't shut the door," he countered.

Mandy responded with silence, her frustration palpable.

"Alright, we're all friends here, right? Misunderstandings can be cleared up," Lucy chimed in, her tone light as she glanced at

Mandy and Colin and winked. "You don't have to explain. | understand," Shortly after, Lucy took out her phone and dialed Cherise's

number. "Quick,e over to my place. It's nothing serious. Mandy's here. She's at my house now. Mm. She clast night and

stayed with Colin..."

Mandy was dumbfounded. She couldn't shake the feeling that Lucy was intentionally causing tension.

Meanwhile, by the door, Colin's face and ears were red as he placed the tea on the coffee table with pursed lips. He excused

himself and headed upstairs. "I'll freshen up and go to the office!"

"It's the weekend," Lucy said with a smile after hanging up. "Do you want to stay at hwith us and keep Mandypany?"

Colin froze. He cleared his throat before responding, "The weekend... Since it's the weekend, | promised to meet Jude. I'll clean up

and head out to meet him!" With that, he hurried upstairs as if he were escaping a great danger.

Leaning against Mandy's door, Lucy observed Colin's swift exit with crossed arms. "What did you do to him last night? Why is he so

flustered?”

Mandy shrugged nonchalantly as she got out of bed to freshen up. She rolled her eyes. "How would | know?"

"Normally, men would love someone as eous as you. Why is Colin avoiding you like you're dangerous?" Lucy teased with a

playful grin.

"I'll take thepliment. As for why Colin is avoiding me, I'm leaning toward his personal problems," Mandy replied with pursed

lips as she put on makeup. "It's definitely not my charm."

Lucy shot her a playful look. "Self-assured, aren't we?"

Shortly after Colin departed, Damien arrived with Cherise in tow. As they entered the house, Cherise hurried to Mandy, embracing

her eagerly. "You're here!"

"Yeah. After arriving, | realized none of you were answering your phones," Mandy remarked. "It's understandable that | couldn't get

in touch with you and Lucy. After all, you're either on Twitter or reading on your phones. It's only natural for your phones to

be out of battery." She then turned to Damien, who was standing in the distance. "But you, Mr. Busy. Why couldn't | reach you?

Someone as busy as you should have their phones on twenty-four-seven. Why was your phone off?"

Damien smirked as his lips twitched lightly. "Cherise was drunk last night."

Mandy raised an eyebrow at him. "How does Cherise's drunk state explain why your phone was unreachable?" Cherise also looked

at Damien, puzzled. Yes, | was drunk. But what does it have to do with Damien's phone being unreachable?

Damien's lips twitched. He walked over casually, settled next to Cherise, and slowly poured himself a cup of tea before calmly

explaining, "She dunked my phone in the teapot during her drunken escapade last night." The man's deep voice was teasing yet

affectionate. "After | rescued my phone, she snatched it fromand went to the bathtub, deciding it was good for a bath, treating

it like a bar of soap."

The three women were dumbstruck, and there was an awkward air in the living room. Cherise blushed while Mandy and Lucy

looked at the couple in a daze, unsure how to respond. Finally, Lucy was the first toe to her senses. She frowned and spoke up,

slightly exasperated. "And you just let her?"
