Chapter 46
Mikayla wondered why she hadn’t noticed Jerome’s annoying habits before.
At that moment, Mikayla’s phone stopped ringing.
Jerome then tightened his hold around her.
“Well, there’s no need to answer the call now-
As Mikayla was about to take action, the divider was suddenly lowered.
Mike lowered his gaze and said formally, “Mr. Miller, Ms. White has been trying to reach you. She couldn’t get through because your phone was off.”
Jerome slightly raised his brows and reached for Mike’s phone.
Mikayla impatiently shoved Jerome away and returned to her seat. As she picked up her phone, she noticed a missed call from Kylie.
It appeared that Kylie had been well aware of Jerome’s whereabouts. She even reached out to Mikayla.
“What’s the matter?” Jerome asked in a husky voice while he loosened his
collar.
“Jerome, what happened to your voice? Have you been drinking?” Kylie asked
with concern.
Jerome didn’t answer her question.
“What is it?”
“Can you come over? We need to talk in person,” Kylie requested.
“Or I could come to you. It’s pretty urgent and hard to explain over the phone.”
Jerome glanced at Mikayla, who had resumed her distant and aloof demeanor.
“I’ll come to you.”
Tapping open, she found a group chat she’d previously created with Aubrey
and a few other classmates.
Aubrey had sent à picture to the group and tagged Mikayla.
Glancing at the image, Mikayla noticed the photo didn’t feature any people. It only displayed a bowl of mouthwatering noodles and a glass of passion fruit juice on the coffee table.
Unclear if it was done intentionally, the photographer somehow included a blue
shirt on the couch.
Mikayla immediately recognized that outfit. It was the shirt that Jerome had worn earlier.
She was familiar with the setting in the photo. It was Kylie’s place.
Soon, an unidentified number called in.
Mikayla answered the call, and Aubrey’s displeased voice sounded.
“Mikayla, what’s going on with you? You’ve blocked me on Instagram and event my number? Is it because Jerome blamed you for the incident that happened?” Aubrey asked.
“Didn’t I ask you to tell him that it was my idea? Let’s figure something else out if it didn’t work out. Why are you sulking?”
Mikayla didn’t bother to respond. She waited for Aubrey to continue.
Just as expected, Aubrey added, “The picture that I’ve sent just now was from that bitch, Kylie. She posted it on her Instagram a while ago with a cheeky caption. She deleted it after I made a snarky comment.
“I saved the picture. This isn’t about taking care of a drunk friend. They’re clearly acting like a couple. This is sick!”
When she didn’t receive a response, Aubrey shot back, “What’s the matter? Too stunned to say a word? Should we go over there and confront them?”
You seem to be more invested than I do.”
Mikayla scoffed
Tve blocked Kylie long ago. If you genuinely consider me a friend, out her off, too Don’t ever do anything stupid in my name “
“What’s gotten into you, Mikayla? I’m looking out and standing up for you
Instead of being thankful, you’re calling me stupid?
Mikayla responded indifferently, “Stupid or not, don’t think you can play me for a fool anymore,”
“Fine! Don’t come crying to me if you can’t get Jerome, Mikayla. I won’t help you anymore!
Aubrey furiously ended the call
Mikayla saved the picture from Instagram If there were a divorce dispute an the future, it would serve as evidence
