Chapter 4
I stared at him in disbelief as I slowly let go of his arm.
“I’m barely acquainted with her. Which one of us is your girlfriend, Jacob? Look at how badly injured I am!”
Upon hearing this, the redhead piped up again. “Can’t you just let it go? We had no clue you were his girlfriend,” she snapped. “We’re sorry, okay?
“Jacob is a great guy. How on earth did he land a girlfriend like you?” she added.
“I’m sorry, Sarah. This is all my fault,” Queenie said with a pitiful look. “Please don’t give Jacob a hard time. He really likes you. I’d hate it if you two got in a fight because of me.”
Suddenly, she started to cry. Jacob was even looking at her with a heartbroken expression.
What an excellent actress. People that didn’t know any better would probably have thought that they were a couple.
I exhaled deeply and turned toward Jacob. “Are you going to call the cops or not?”
Since I’d interrupted Jacob and Queenie’s moment, he looked slightly displeased.
“Cut it out, Sarah. Can’t you be a bit more understanding? Like I said, this is just a misunderstanding. Besides, she’s already apologized to you!”
I felt like I finally saw Jacob for who he really was. I was the one who paid for his teaching assistants. How did he have the audacity to tell me to cut it out?
I tried to suppress the pain in my shoulder and reached for the phone peeking out of his pocket. To my dismay, Jacob moved away and tucked his phone further into his pocket.
“Why are you trying to grab his phone, Sarah? This is all my fault. Would you like to hit me so that we’re even? Maybe I should get on my knees and apologize again.” Queenie stepped forward and pretended to kneel down.
