"Hey," she greeted Noah with a smile. But he didn't smile back. Noah just stared at her with a blank expression on his face.
Jess heaved a deep sigh, "I'm sorry. It won't happen again."
"Do you have an idea on how much I'm trying to stop myself from flying there? And the only reason was that Markus told me you're willing to lie and quite persistent to make Markus lie about what happened to you, for me not to go there with you."
"I know you are busy," she said in a small voice, biting her lower lip. At the back of her mind, she was cursing Markus. How dare he tell-tale to Noah!
"Jessica, you know that however busy I am, I will have time for you." He took a deep sigh and raked his fingers through his hair.
"I'm sorry, mmkay?" She batted her eyelashes, trying to act cute to stop Noah from being angry.
