"What if we did it for real?" Michael looked at Sarah with a gentle gaze, his face warm. "Living together?"
"What?" Sarah's expression immediately changed when she heard that. It was obvious that she really didn't like what Michael had just offered.
"I mean… we can't seem to convince dad, and there's no other way than this," Michael continued trying to give a reason why he had offered this to Sarah.
Sarah remained silent, but her expression didn't change at all.
"The apartment has a second floor, I can use the second and you use the other. There's no way dad is gonna know what was going on in the apartment. So we're just cohabitating. I promise I won't bother you and the Twins," Michael explained at length. His tone was hurried and sweat was starting to show on his forehead.
He's nervous.
He was never even nervous when he stood up to preside over a meeting, or make a presentation at a seminar he was invited to.
