Nora was standing at the reception listening to the staff's report when she saw Dylan and Cali coming her way. Dylan stood before her and smiled brightly, "Thanks for the breakfast, FRIEND!" The way he chose to emphasize 'friend' made Nora almost burst out laughing but she had to purse her lips to hold back.

"You're most welcome, FRIEND!" replied Nora in the same way that he spoke.

Dylan leaned closer to her and said, "I don't know why but people are really misunderstanding us." Nora frowned at his words while he went on, "I mean, Ah-Si already thinks that you like me and now Cali also thought we were more than friends. I'm telling you this is insane."

"Ah-Si thinks I like you?" repeated Nora with furrowed brows.
