"I didn't say anything at all." The man looked at her with an innocent expression, his eyes wide and sincere. "She did confess to me, but I turned her down."
"That's all?"

"I just told her that there was someone looking over here. She got shy and ran away."
"!!" Would a shy person glare angrily at her before running off?
Aldana Candi tried hard to recall what happened in the morning but hadn't heard clearly because of the distance. Even if she had heard, she wouldn't have understood what they were saying.
It was totally guesswork, all based on Philip Shaw's ability to twist the situation with a straight face.
