Eden's face stiffened as he pulled his hand from her wrist, "I do have someone I like, but that person isn't you."
Annie, upon hearing this, was momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered with a laugh, "Are you talking about the woman you grabbed last time to use as a shield? Stop joking, I can tell, your relationship may be close, but it's definitely not that of a boyfriend and girlfriend. Even if there's mutual affection, it's certainly not the romantic kind. Unless you tell me who this person is, I'm not going to believe you."
She looked at Eden, waiting for him to give her a name.
Eden's thin lips pressed together slightly, but he said nothing. Annie burst into laughter, "I knew you were lying to me. You don't have anyone you like. Eden, I know you don't like me now, but that's because you haven't discovered my good qualities yet. Once you do, you'll definitely like me, and of that, I am completely confident."
