"Cindy Clarke didn't explain everything… she wanted to watch me make a fool of myself, didn't she? And you? Why didn't you explain?" Eleanor Ward looked at Ian Morris, feeling a pang of disappointment. Her admiration for him seemed to have faded.
"I...I didn't think of it at the time," Ian Morris said uneasily.
"Huh!" Eleanor Ward scoffed. "You didn't think of it, or did you do it on purpose?"
"What are you getting at?" Ian Morris asked, frowning at her.
"You were rejected by Cindy Clarke, and now she doesn't appreciate you. She has a better boyfriend now." Eleanor recalled, "Oh, right. When I was mistakenly criticizing Cindy's boyfriend for being incompetent, you didn't say a word. You just let me make an even bigger fool of myself."
Mocking Adrian Zhekova for being incompetent?
She must be the first!
She had Ian Morris to thank for that.
Because of him, she had done something that no one else had done or dared to do.
