Chapter 3
At that point, I was horribly beaten up and barely had any clothes on. Upon seeing this, Jacob rushed over and hastily draped his jacket over me.
Queenie’s expression immediately softened. “Did you abandon me for someone new, Jacob?” she asked.
She then walked over and clung to Jacob’s arm. Her huge chest was pressing against him too.
Jacob didn’t seem like he had strong boundaries. He looked solemn, but he didn’t bother pushing her away at all.
“Did you already forget about the promises you made? How could you be so heartless and replace me with someone new? Is she a better pool player than me?”
Did she think I was an assistant too?
I stared at Jacob and observed his response. Once he caught me watching him, he slowly pulled his arm away.
“She’s not an assistant. She’s my girlfriend,” he awkwardly said.
The entire room went silent, and Queenie’s expression also soured.
“Oh, I see. Sorry for the misunderstanding,” she said. “Why didn’t you just say so?”
I wrapped the jacket tightly around my body. I could taste blood, so I spat out a mouthful of blood and tugged on Jacob’s arm. “I want to call the police, Jacob. They need to be arrested!”
Jacob tensed for a brief moment. He then turned toward me and tried to calm me down. “I don’t think we need to go that far, Sarah. Queenie just misunderstood things, that’s all. I’ll just get her to apologize to you.”
