Boom!
Before Eudora could finish her sentence, Colbert slammed the door shut with a loud thud and left immediately.
Eudora ran her hand through her hair as she sat on the bed in a daze, overwhelmed with helplessness.
Ring...
The mobile phone in her pocket suddenly rang. There was an incoming call from Wendy.
"Wendy, why are you still up too?"
Eudora asked.
On the other end of the phone, Wendy asked in bewilderment, "Who else is still up? Colbert?"
"Oh, don't bring it up. I just pissed him off," Eudora answered as she lay back weakly, staring at the ceiling speechlessly.
"What's going on? What did you do to drive Colbert away?"
A gossipy Wendy started probing immediately.
At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten about her current situation.
Eudora sighed and explained, "I... How should I put it? Colbert suddenly showed up at Camford Country, called me, and asked who I was having dinner with. So I lied and said I was having dinner with Medea. Afterwards, a friend of mine sent me home, and Colbert got really mad when he found out."
"That's it? That can't be the only reason he's so upset."
"Let me think about it... Oh, right, I also hugged my friend after getting off the car. At the same time, my friend flicked his finger against my forehead. That's all."
"That shouldn't be the case. How could Colbert be jealous of a friend? Speaking of which, you have never been to Camford Country. What kind of friends can you possibly have here?"
Wendy thought of a crucial point.
Eudora had no choice but to tell the truth, as she said, "It's Lance Campbell."
"Lance Campbell? You mean the superstar, Lance Campbell?"
"Yes."
"Damn, when did you meet such a hunk? Lance Campbell is a gentle and suave celebrity who has more than just good looks to offer. He has actual talent and solid acting chops. He has never been involved in any scandals or gossip either."
In between her words, Wendy smacked her lips and said, "Geez... That explains Colbert's jealousy. Lance has never been involved in any romantic scandals, yet he hugged you and held you in his arms. Naturally, Colbert would get the wrong idea."
