What just happened? Scarlett was in a state of bewilderment as Jasper left with Ben. She was tempted to leave with them if not for the assuring smile he gave her. Maybe she should have just eavesdropped on their conversation? No, that was too low even for her.
Which was the reason she wasn't settled, rather she paced up and down the room. What was that drama all about? It couldn't be about the kiss else Jasper would be mad at her too. Gosh, this was driving her crazy, She tousled her hair out of frustration.
That instant, there was a knock on her door, Scarlett's eyes widened and she raced over to it thinking it was Jasper, however, it was Suzie instead and her face fell.
"Alright, this is the first time in the history of our relationship that I've been welcomed with such lesser enthusiasm," Suzie pointed out.
