Sensing Jessica's animosity, Jessica pursed her lips and muttered, “I think you've misunderstood something. I—”
“I only believe what I see, so it's best for you to remember what I've said.”
Before Roxanne could say anything else, Jessica turned and left.
Exasperation washed over Roxanne, and she turned to return to her seat.
“Sorry. Did I cause you any trouble?” Jack started apologetically when Roxanne sat down.
“I hope you won't use me as a shield if you encounter something like this next time. There are already some misunderstandings between Ms. Hightower and me.”
“I think she and I have some misunderstandings too.”
Otherwise, she would not have acted as if she was his girlfriend earlier.
If not for their families, Jack would have confronted her about the matter a long time ago.
“Still, don't worry about this. I'll clarify things with her once I get back. I won't let her trouble you anymore,” Jack added after a short moment of contemplation.
Roxanne nodded. She was not too fazed by the matter.
She did not know why, but she pitied Jack for meeting a woman like Jessica.
However, the thought of Aubree soon crossed her mind.
Here, she had Jack to clarify things with Jessica, and it was not as if she was guilty in the first place.
On the other hand, Aubree still had her eyes on her; she was going to strike anytime, and Roxanne could only do so much to defend herself from Aubree.
Roxanne realized that perhaps she was the more pitiful one.
