Jenny lowered her voice and told Lily secretively, "I just witnessed a secret affair."
Lily looked at her with slight disapproval and shook her head, "I didn't know you had such a hobby."
"What’s with that look? How could you just judge me like that? I was only noisy because it was somewhat related to you. Why else would I be interested if it was just some random person? Besides, they were quite unsightly!" Jenny reasoned heatedly.
"What do you mean by ’related to me?'" Lily asked as she pointed to herself.
"It involves your ex's current girlfriend. So isn’t that somewhat related to you?" Lily did not even realize who Jenny was talking about, "Are you referring to Melanie?"
Jenny nodded, "Do you have another ex I should know of?"
"What did you see?" Lily was not exactly interested, but she felt like she had to ask as Jenny was excited about sharing this piece of gossip with her.
"I stayed in the bathroom for a while since I had a tummy ache. While I was in there, I heard someone rushing into the bathroom and throwing up..." "Could you please get to the main point?" Lily was
getting frustrated. She had never noticed that Jenny was such a long-winded bore.
"I'm getting to it!" Jenny tapped the table, annoyed with Lily interrupting her, "At first, it was normal that someone came in to throw up, but then I heard another voice, and it was a man. When I was just about to call the police to report this, the couple outside started kissing!”
