"Sloane, don't talk nonsense. What could there possibly be between Barry and me?" Kiara's face flushed as she spoke.
"Really it's nothing?"
"Honestly, there's nothing. We just know each other and chatted casually a few times."
Ashley scoffed, "I don't care if it's really nothing or falsely nothing. This exchange event our family is hosting isn't just inviting martial artists from across the country, there are also some bigwigs from Healington.
"You need to serve them carefully. If anything goes wrong, I won't spare you!"
"Alright... okay."
Kiara agreed, then quietly sighed and gazed out the window at the sparrows, her thoughts drifting far away.
Barry, when will you arrive?
Just as she was wondering, her phone rang. Seeing the name on the screen, her face lit up with surprise, and she quickly answered.
"Barry, have you arrived?"
"Yeah."
Kiara hurriedly said, "I'll come right over."
After hanging up, she rushed out, bumping into Ashley on the way.
