363 A SHORT CONVO WITH ONE LEAF

"I-I HAVE something to talk about with Mr. Townsend. I- I'm sorry!"

After Fiona said that, she quickly pulled Astrid away. It was so surprising and unexpected that neither Astrid nor Nadia had time to react. Before Astrid came back to his senses, they were already a good distance away from Nadia. 

"I- I'm sorry if I did something uncalled for," Fiona said. "I'm not really good at reading social cues. But I just had a feeling that you're really uncomfortable just now. If I was wrong, then I'm sorry for doing something unnecessary."

"No, it's okay. Thank you."

Astrid couldn't really say anything but that. If he said more and someone here heard it, it could lead to a controversy. But he was indeed very thankful to the writer's actions. Because of her, he didn't have to use his mental force to escape that annoying situation.
