Becky was rather angry after she met Rory at noon. It wasn’t only anger that she felt; she was also profoundly depressed. At that point, she was on the verge of tears in front of Rory.
But as Becky listened to Jessie scold Rory, she was no longer that angry.
Jessie’s disdain for Rory was unwavering. Now that such a thing happened, she would undoubtedly chastise him to express her anger.
Aiken’s stupid question made Jessie even more irritated. She wished she could hit him. “Calling Aiken an idiot is an understatement.”
Becky found Jessie rather funny. “Forget about it. It doesn’t matter anymore.”
“It doesn’t matter anymore?” A snort left Jessie’s lips. “Now, listen up, Becky. It will always matter! I can’t stand the thought of Rory hurting you like this. He overstepped his bounds. In due time, I will get revenge for you.”
Becky understood that Jessie was simply being dramatic. If Jessie was standing before Rory, she would be too scared to speak.
Becky chuckled. “In that case, you can look for a chance without any rush. To unwind, I’m going to run a hot bath right now.”
Jessie was surprised. “You still haven’t completely shaken off that cold. No, you shouldn’t do it.”
After giving it some thinking, Becky ultimately agreed. “It makes sense. I have to go. Bye, Jessie.”
“Good night!”
“Good night!”
Jessie remained furious when the call ended.
Aiken was to blame. Becky’s dissatisfaction could have been avoided had he not posed such a stupid question.
Aiken, on the other hand, drove to Rory’s place. Rory abruptly ended the call while he was telling him something about Royi.
After giving it some consideration, Aiken decided to come to meet Rory to get to the bottom of things.
It was no surprise that Aiken downloaded Royi’s comic book and intended to compare it to the artwork Rory had.
He must prove he was right. Evidence existed to support that.
Aiken proceeded to knock on Rory’s door after exiting the elevator. Rory, who had a stern expression, stepped up to the door after hearing the knock.
“Have you been too idle recently?”
