“I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
The man let out a hoarse Laugh which was soon drowned out by the music. He then turned and began
cutting the steak as if nothing had happened.
Ariana quietly looked at him. He wasn’t doing anything but still she felt stressed.
As the movie came to an end, Ariana became more restless. Just as she was gearing up to do
something, a plate of steak was placed in front of her.
