"You can speak, you know?"
I said as I looked at a fidgety Malaika, although this time she had a quivering smile on her face unlike the last time where she was frowning.
"How?"
"Are you a toddler? Why do you keep asking the same words over and over again."
"..."
Malaika's mouth got shut for a second, processing the words I had just said.
"Did you just insult me?"
"No, I was making a 'joke', you familiar with the word?"
"....."
I laughed looking at her silly expression.
"Anyways, you were really cool out there."
Malaika said as she tried to divert the topic.
"Although you missed your chance to talk to Terry."
I said as we walked out of the corridor. I had immediately walked out after making the deal, giving Malaika no time to talk to Terry whatsoever.
