Miles Sherman replied instinctively, "I'm fine."
But he regretted it the moment the words left his mouth. To Zoe Pierce, his "I'm fine" probably seemed like a transparent attempt to hide something.
So much so that he immediately blurted out, "Was it that obvious?"
You can't take back words once they're spoken. Miles Sherman pursed his lips.
Zoe Pierce didn't answer his question about whether it was obvious or not. She just looked at him and said, "I think you're wonderful, Miles."
"You're outstanding, responsible, good, and amazing." Zoe Pierce strung together a series of praises.
Although she hadn't been able to hear what Miles's father had said to him this time, unlike the last, she could imagine the tone.
Miles was, without a doubt, the most level-headed and responsible person on the team.
