Before, she hadn't known that Mandel Thompson had a date with a girl.
Now that she knew, she naturally wouldn't play the third wheel.
After all, it was not often that Mandel got a chance to be alone with a girl.
"Should I come pick you up later?" Mandel then asked.
"No need," Viola responded. "Lentz will take me home."
On hearing that Terrence Lentz was around, Mandel didn't ask any further questions.
"Alright then."
Mandel then said, "There's Milk Tea in the thermal box."
"Okay," Viola took out two cups of Milk Tea from the thermal box and handed one to Isla Astir.
"Sister Astir, you try this."
"Thank you."
Viola gave a light smile, "You're welcome."
Her gentle smile, like magic, instantly eased the pressure off Isla Astir.
Which was very strange.
Viola took a sip of her Milk Tea, then asked, "Sister Astir, do you like hibiscus flowers?"
"I do," Isla Astir replied.
Viola divided the bouquet, handed half of it to Isla, and said, "Here, these are for you."
