After Clarisse returned, she washed her face and removed her makeup before numbly lying down on the bed. Her face, now bare and pale, showed her distress. When Jonathan arrived, she couldn't bear to look him in the eye and turned away, forcing herself to speak coldly.
"What are you doing here? I think I made myself very clear. We're done!"
Jonathan, suppressing his anger, grabbed her from the bed and forced her to face him.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
He couldn't believe that she would be with him just to get revenge.
She struggled to hold back her tears and maintain her composure.
"Nothing happened! Jonathan, how arrogant are you? Do you really think I'm madly in love with you?"
It turned out that acting didn't require much practice; as long as you were determined to portray yourself in a certain way, you could succeed, just like she was doing now. Since she was determined to end their relationship, she could be this resolute.
