Chapter 43

“What do you mean?” Allison asked with confusion.

“Nothing.” He responded.

He looked at the bartender. “Give her a glass of orange juice.”

“No, I like apple juice.” She corrected him.

He nodded his head. “Noted.”

“What?”

“Nothing.” He said that again and glanced at the bartender. “You heard her.”

“Yes, Sir.”

“With no alcohol.” He reminded him.

“Got it, sir.”

Allison stared at Ryan. His eyes caught hers.

He asked her, “What?”

“I can’t understand you.”

“No one could.”

She rolled her eyes and tried to find her best friend in the crowd.

“You said that Teresa is coming here. Now where is she?”

“How would I know?”

“What do you mean? Where is your friend Max?”

He shifted his eyes everywhere. Then he lifted his hand and waved at someone.

She saw Max coming towards them. “I was looking for you.” Max said to Ryan and smiled at Allison.

“Where is Teresa?” She asked Max.
