Megan awaited Jonas' reply absentmindedly. Her initial calmness had morphed into sadness.
One could almost feel the chill in the atmosphere of the room.
Jonas scoffed, “Why did you have to come up with such a long story to explain your actions?”
His trust in Megan had long been destroyed by the fury and disappointment in his heart. He was struck by an urge to leave the room and this woman who was playing him with lies. His expression was at once icy and doubtful.
Megan gave up trying to explain herself at the sight of his obvious mistrust.
I guess this is for the best. I don't want to be entangled with Jonas any longer and perpetually
live in his debt.
“I'm glad you think of me that way. Since you've satisfied your curiosity, you can leave.”
Megan barely glanced at Jonas as she turned her entire attention to her phone. She seemed utterly unconcerned over his thoughts. Though he was puzzled by her behavior, his pride would not allow him to press her for answers.
What more is there to say anyway?
Still, he could not help but feel insulted at her apathy toward his feelings and opinions.
I guess I'm just a stranger that was never worth her time.
“Fine, I'm leaving. I hope I never see you again.”
He left behind a harsh statement to get in a final dig at Megan. She happened to look at him as he hardened his expression. Her emotions began to go haywire.
Megan lowered her gaze. Once he leaves, we may never contact each other again. The door slammed shut with his departure, and Megan was confused with her own feelings.
