"Who cares?!" Joanna felt enraged for some reason, despite her being in a good mood at the start. ' Do you lack tact or something? Why would you even mention that jerk out of nowhere? It's repulsing!"
Ace's expression darkened, yet still hid his anger. "What did he do to you to make you hate him so much?'
"He's a jerk. That's what he is!' Joanna clenched her jaw. "I slept with him for all but one night, and he's threatening me with it the next day and made me cook skewers for him and his friends… Honestly, how could he?!"
"Is that it?' Ace found it hilarious.
He sometimes found Joanna quite complicated, so much so that it felt like he never really understood her. Yet, at times, he found her as simple- minded as a child, devoid of cunning thoughts behind those crystal eyes.
This juxtaposition made his heart feel rather conflicted as well.
