"I have other matters to attend to, so I won't take up any more of your time. See you tomorrow," Andre said, excusing himself.
"Alright, I'll have Filipe see you out," Emerald answered.

Emerald ignored it and said calmly, "I heard from Andre that you kept dozing off during your lesson today." Nyla frowned. "Is that why you calledhere?" "You just need to answer the question, not ask your own," Emerald shot back.
