Blanche's POV
After everyone got their cake, Nicholas shot me a look, then got up and asked to swap seats with the person to my right.
Zain sat on my left.
I was a little confused by Nicholas's actions.
As soon as he sat down, Nicholas leaned in close and whispered to me, "Blanche, where's Amara? What's she been doing lately? Looks like she hasn't updated her food videos in a while."
I was a bit bewildered when Nicholas suddenly mentioned Amara.
Zain, who'd been watching Nicholas closely, frowned and gave him a sharp look.
Noticing Zain's tense face, Nicholas quickly grinned and tried to smooth things over, "Oh yeah, Zain—Blanche's best friend, Amara Jerry, Miss Jerry. She's the girl I told you about—the one I've got a crush on."
Zain couldn't help but feel a jolt of surprise at how straightforward Nicholas was being.
I immediately turned to Zain, confusion flickering in my eyes.
Noticing how everyone at the table seemed so tense, Nicholas blinked and asked, "What's wrong?"
