Melanie was speechless as she did not expect Frank to react like that. She looked at him, only to see that he had turned and walked to the refrigerator. He took a can of cold beer, opened it with a snap, and took a big sip.
"You think too much, Melanie," Frank shook his head and continued, "I thought you would..." He rolled his eyes, probably to rethink his words, then shrugged and said, "You need to be open-minded and free-thinking. I didn't expect you to be so rigid.
"Remember, we're here to have fun, and I'm happy if you're happy. Why are you overthinking? I can give you everything you want, and you can satisfy me with what I want. Isn't that good enough? Why do you carry such heavy thoughts, huh?" Frank looked nonchalant as if it was not a big deal that Melanie had just rejected him.
In contrast, Melanie felt quite embarrassed while looking at him.
"Don't worry. I’m just here for fun, and I don't like forcing others. It's no problem if you don't like it." Frank nodded. "I'm going to rest now."
It was a veiled expulsion order, and Melanie still felt ashamed. Although Frank did not say anything extreme, it made Melanie feel hypocritical, pretentious, and unsure. She felt humiliated that
Frank had driven her out like that.
However, she had already rejected Frank just now, and it was too late to change her mind. Moreover, she did not think about it clearly as her mind was flustered. "Okay, I understand. Have a good rest, Mr. Moreau. I'll see you in the evening.” She sputtered, lowered her head, and hurriedly walked toward the door.
Melanie was about to reach for the door when Frank called out, "Melanie!"
Melanie stopped.
