"Th-That A–A *Gulp* Alex, H-Hoe..w abo-ut we take a-a break?"
Rita, after coming to the conclusion mustered up enough courage, she spoke up looking at anything except Alex as she was not willing to meet heyes with him in shame.
After all, She as an woman asking for a break while the man were ready for the 2nd round.
For her, who already has low self-esteem, it was a lethal move.
If Alex just agreed without asking a question then there is no issue, But if he would point out her flaws even for showing understanding, Her nearly non-existent self-esteem would shatter into a million pieces.
"....Good idea, Let's hydrate ourselves first."
Alex was dumbfounded when Rkta asked for the break.
He knows this woman decided to drag in Isabella, So he can't understand why she can't just grab Isabella and pull her in. She can just stretch her arms to do it.
But then he started thinking like a normal person.
