They started dating back in M Country, but once they returned to their home country, Sophia and Jason were close but not intimate. The only exception was that time she came out of the bathroom and was seen by Robin. From then on, she secretly decided to keep her distance from Jason.
But it didn't change anything.
"Look, I'm not saying I don't trust you. Maybe you're just too close to see it clearly," Robin said, "But I can bet Jason has had a thing for you for a long time!"
Sophia's eyes twitched, probably out of guilt, but she remained silent.
"I knew it, didn't I?" Robin pressed, looking into Sophia's eyes, "Before you guys broke up, it was all out in the open. So what about now? Do you like him?"
Sophia bit her lip, her gaze firm. "Whether I like him or not has nothing to do with us, Robin. Don't mix things up. Even if I never date anyone else or fall in love again, it won't change how I feel about you!"
A shadow of pain crossed Robin's eyes. "I'm sorry, Sophia."
Sophia stepped back slowly and turned to leave.
Back in the private room, Inman and her boyfriend were still singing. After their song, Sophia stood up, "You guys have fun. I've got to go!"
Everyone crowded around her, trying to make her stay. "Come on, we agreed no one leaves early today. Boss lady, you can't back out now!"
"What's the rush? Stay a bit longer!"
"Yeah, it's still early!"
Sophia chuckled, "I really have something on. Enjoy, and see you tomorrow!"
Reluctantly, they said their goodbyes. Tina walked her to the door, concerned. "Sophia, are you okay? Let me drive you home."
"It's nothing, just a bit of cocktail. Go back and have fun!" Sophia waved her off, her short hair swishing as she turned, her figure resolute.
This realization made even his stern lectures seem less unbearable.
She checked her phone, cluttered with a bunch of messages but none from him.
Surely he wasn't too busy to send even a single message?
Had he given up on her? What had she said that day?
She had been in such a hurry she couldn't even remember.
He must have been really hurt by her words, that's why he suddenly stopped talking.
She looked at the stuffed dog for a long while before finally taking it to the counter, paying $5, and tucking it into her bag.
