âHey! Whatâs the deal, lady? Iâm already compromising!â
Did he really have to kneel or something?
âWho the hell am I to you? No need for the sweet talk.â Karen just wanted to keep her distance from
Jeffrey before she left Swevia Country for good
She had her rant and almost broke his hand â the revenge was done!
She never thought sheâd have anything to do with Jeffrey, a spoiled rich kid. Once she was back home,
they were as different as night and day.
But to Jeffrey, her words rang differently. He knew this game all too well!
Many women had tried the same tactic when they wanted more from him, saying things like, âWhat am
I to you, that you should care?â or âOn what grounds do you get to tell me what to do?â
So Jeffrey raised an eyebrow, instantly catching on to her soâcalled âhintâ.
âIf you want to be my girlfriend or something, just say it straight. No need to beat around the bush.â
âI think your headâs screwed on wrong!â Karenâs face cracked, and her eyes rolled as she sized up
Jeffrey with a mix of disdain and pity, âMe, your girlfriend? Take a good, hard look in the mirrorâno,
even if youâre easy on the eyes, I wouldnât settle for what Heather has abandoned!â
Heatherâs leftovers?
Disgusting. No, thank you.
Jeffrey was getting frustrated too, âCan we please stop talking about Heather?â
Karen shrugged, âItâs the truth, isnât it? Didnât you go after her?â
âI did not! Absolutely not!â He had never pursued her, never even thought about being her boyfriend.
Jeffrey knew all too well how much Heather was into someone else â Everett.
âSo you never even had a crush on her?â
Karen rolled her eyes, âI wouldnât touch anything Heather has laid her hands on, be it things or people.
So, drop your narcissism! Sure, I thought you were pretty goodâlooking on the plane, but getting to
know you? Itâs just a pretty face. Thereâs nothing about you other than that face that attracts me one
bit.â
âYou-â
âI know, you lack female company. Maybe itâs just not convenient here in Swevia Country, but I have no
intention of being your disposable girlfriend! If youâre that desperate, just go out to fetch some or go for
prostitutes as long as you donât set your sights on me.â
Karen wasnât silly to think his interest in her was genuine. She had seen firsthand how pent up he was
today! Suddenly coming over to talk about being his girlfriend it was clear what was on his mind.
Even though she was no innocent little girl and wasnât against a mutually beneficial fling, Jeffrey was
absolutely a noâgo.
The fact that he had liked Heather made him completely nasty in Karenâs book.
Jeffrey stood there and stunned by her tirade. His mouth was agape but completely at a loss for words.
âIs there anything else?â Karen felt she had said her piece, and it was time for this guy to leave.
But he was still there, leaning on the door frame. The imprint from the slam was still visible on his hand.
He showed no sign of leaving.
âYouâ1- Jeffrey stammered, finally squeezing out, âI never go for prostitutes!â
âOh, good to know Karen shrugged, âAnd then?â
âI came here to ask you out for a walk, thatâs all! Whatâs with all this mess? Karen, be sane, will you? At
least I have taken you out for food when you were hungry here. Iâve done all youâve asked of me these
past days. Do you really have to be this harsh on me?â
