She was going to the cafeteria when she met him in the hallway. Ari's feet came to a pause. He was walking with his assistant and when he saw her; he waved him to continue, then with a smile, he walked to her.
Ari smiled back; ''Hey.''
They haven't spoken for almost a week, so it felt a little awkward. She did not know what to say.
''How are you?''
''I'm good; '' Ari replied; there was a moment of silence before she added; ''I saw the news. I'm so sorry about that. I wanted to call…''
Xavier chuckled; ''There's nothing to be sorry about. I told you we were not dating, so do you believe me now?''
Ari looked at her feet as she tucked her hair behind her ear; ''I never said you were lying. You did not have to call it off publicly to prove anything to me. ''
Xavier laughed; ''I did not do it for you. Although I wouldn't say you were not a factor in it, but it was not totally because of you. I did it for her too. It was fake, so it would have ended eventually anyway.''
