After Jasmine finished her sentence, tears welled up in her eyes, making her look extra vulnerable. Who could resist her charm?
However, her sweet words did not work on me. Friends did not meet up at night half-naked. For the acting she had done today, she deserved to win the Best Actress Award.
How dare she still claim to be innocent? She bared her shoulders, and her chest was barely covered. And her legs were wide open, ready to ensnare whichever man that approached her. I did not imagine all that.
She had no guts to own up to what she had done. Coward!
The anger I had been suppressing finally burst out like a volcano.
"I'm accusing you of something you didn't do? Explain to me then, Jasmine. Why was your bathrobe half undone? Don't tell me that the belt wasn't working. What about your exposed shoulders? What about your bare legs?
"If you can convince me, I'll apologize to you. Then, I'll ask Colin to keep you company every night. Deal?"
Jasmine's face turned ashen, and she no longer withheld the contempt in her. "Who the fuck do you think you are? Why should I justify my actions to you? I invited Colin here. It has nothing to do with you. Get lost. GET LOST! You're not welcome here."
The well-mannered, elegant Jasmine finally showed her true colors when her seduction trap failed miserably. She couldn't win the argument against me, so she tried to kick me out. Gone was her class.
I was still mad and ready to retaliate. However, Colin came to me and pulled me by my shoulder. He shook his head disapprovingly, asking me to stop talking.
"Why not? Am I in the wrong?" I tried to swat Colin's hand away, but I failed. He trapped me with all his strength so that I couldn't break free. "Let go of me! Are you defending her now?"
