"Jeffrey, seriously? Are you being a sore loser right now?"
The way he was yelling at her, you'd think he'd caught his girlfriend cheating. But all they had was a no-strings-attached fling, and now he's acting as if he's got dibs on her?
Karen hadn't expected this from Jeffrey – Mr. Heartbreaker himself.
She thought he would appreciate her slipping away quietly this morning, no fuss, no muss.
"Who's a sore loser?" Jeffrey always had a short fuse with Karen's remarks.
"Take a wild guess?"
His clenched fists tightened, and oh, how he wished he could just shut her up—the sass from those lips only served to infuriate him further!
"Fine, so you say that I am a sore loser, right?" In one swift move, he wrapped his arms around Karen, pulling her tight against his chest. "Then I admit it! I am a sore loser!"
"Get off me... what the hell do you think you're doing?"
"Karen, you owe me."
Karen’s expression could've been mistaken for someone hearing a ghost story. She struggled to break free, and just as she did, her hair got tangled with a button on his shirt!
Fuming, she was ready to just rip her hair out when suddenly Jeffrey's hand caught hers. He was smiling, his chest vibrating with suppressed chuckles.
"Why are you always so fiery? Just untangle it, will you?"
"Back off! Let me go, the plane's about to take off!"
She had been looking forward to a solid ten hours of beautiful sleep!
"I'm coming home with you," he declared, having bought the ticket with no intention of disembarking unless she did too.
"Like a bad penny, you always turn up!"
"That's right, I do!"
"Jeffrey, can we not do this right now? I'm at a loss for words with you! If I had known you were this clingy, last night I would have…"
His gaze sharpened. "You would have what?"
Karen shrank back, "Just... sit down, okay? Stop making a scene! You wanted to talk, didn't you? Let's talk."
The last thing she wanted was to be the center of attention in first class.
"Talk for real?"
"Yes, for real!"
Skeptically, Jeffrey pulled out his phone. "Add me on WhatsApp."
"Can we talk first before adding?”
Maybe after talking, he wouldn’t want to add her anymore, so she wouldn’t need to waste time deleting him.

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
