章 44: Apology

‘Hey Clara, I love your pancakes. Can you give me the recipe?’ Heather asked to diffuse the tense atmosphere.

‘I told you, you were going to love it,’ Jeremy added, but Clara was not taking the bait.

‘What is he so mad about? I just wanted him to stay a little longer. Hmph!’ Clara mumbled to no one in particular as she shoved the pancakes into her mouth without tasting them.

‘Well, I think he was jealous, thinking that maybe you do this for other people a lot, and the thought of someone sleeping with you… well, you know…,’ Heather said, nodding at Jeremy, asking for his help.

‘Yeah, Celine is right. Just imagine if he offered you a change of clothes and women’s underwear when you slept at his house. Wouldn’t you be suspicious?’ Clara glared at him.

‘I’m not saying he has other women sleeping over all the time, but you see what it implies?’ Jeremy waves his hands, ‘No, no, don’t get angry, it’s hypothetical.’ he said.
