CHAPTER 23

"What's with you and your phone, Yan? Stop it. Put it back in your bag and actually be here with us," Nana retorted while glaring at Rian who had his phone in hand.

"Talk to your boyfriend. Stop bothering me," Rian hissed and made a face.

Max just laughed at them while drinking.

Nana leaned closer and tried to steal a glance at the screen, snooping to see who he's texting.

Rian quickly hid his phone from his nosey friend. "What are you doing?"

Nana eyed him like a hawk. "Hmm... You've been on your phone since earlier. You're definitely hiding something, I can feel it. I demand to know what it is."

Rian rolled his eyes at how dramatic Nana could be at times. "Nosey one, you're delusional."

Nana looked at him deeply. "I think I know who you're chatting with," she said with a raised brow. "Is it that person?"

Rina's brows furrowed at the question. "What person?"

"Stop denying. You're already caught red-handed."

"What are you saying? You're crazy," he scoffed and looked away. Shit.

Nana smirked. "Gotcha! You really want me to spill the beans?"

Before Rian could even speak, Max interrupted them when he suddenly called someone out. "Hey there, beautiful! Yeena!"

They turned to see who Max was calling.

A young, elegant lady walked over with a big smile on her face. "Max! You're here!"

Max stood up and gave the lady a hug. "So happy to see you. This is my girlfriend, Nana, and her friend, Rian," Max introduced them both to her.

The lady, Yeena, smiled. "Hello, I'm Yeena," she said and extended her hand for a handshake with Nana, which her friend took. When she turned to him, her eyes somehow sparkled for a moment. "Oh wow. You're gorgeous."

Rian politely smiled and shook her hand.

Yeena stared at him for a few more seconds, clearly amazed and astonished by his face. "Oh my God. Are you for real?" she said with a soft laughter. "Oh my. I apologize for sounding like a creep but I think you're unbelievably good-looking."

Rian just smiled although the compliment made him a little awkward.

How does he even react to that?

He glanced at Nana. Nana was eyeing the young lady from head to toe now.

"Max, why didn't you introduce him to me before?" Yeena playfully snapped at Max with a wink. She did it with so much elegance and both Nana and Rian could only stare at her.

"Oh... well..." Max clearly didn't know what to say.

Nana cleared her throat. "Oh. He's my friend, not his, that's why," she said with a slightly raised eyebrow.

Yeena's mouth formed and o before smiling once again. Just like Irving's mom, Yeena's grace showed in spite of her bright personality. "Actually, I'm still waiting for my companions. May I join you for a few minutes?"
