After the meeting, I went to the mall next

I ran into Jeff Jiang.
He pointed at the seat next to me and asked,
“Maggie, can I sit here?”
The restaurant was crowded. I looked around
and didn’t see any empty tables.
We were going to work together later, so I

Jeff Jiang sat down and ordered food.
When the food came, he took off his suit
jacket. He was wearing a white shirt
underneath.
Halfway through lunch, Lily showed up.
She was angry and yelled, “Maggie, do you have any shame? Are you trying to steal my
man?”
Jeff looked annoyed. “Lily, don’t be ridiculous.
We’re just sharing a table.”
“Right,” Lily sneered. “You’re sharing a table
now. You’ll be sharing a bed soon.”
I said, “Lily, get your facts straight before you
start talking.”

my face.

splashed Jeff.
His white shirt was soaked.
Jeff looked pissed. “Lily, I’m not your boyfriend. We’re just friends.”
Lily asked, “Friends who slept together?”
“You’re crazy,” Jeff said. He got up and went
to the bathroom to clean his shirt.
Some of the water splashed on me.
I got up and shook it off. Then, I picked up my
coffee and threw it at Lily’s white dress.
“Lily, don’t mess with me. I won’t let you,” I
said. I went to the counter, paid, and left.
Lily was standing there, glaring at me.
