Skyler glanced at Zavier's bleeding arm, "Need a bandage?"
Zavier retorted, "Are you caring about me?"
Skyler shot back coolly, "I just don't want you bleeding out and causing a scene."
Zavier shrugged off her indifference, "Don't sweat it. This little scratch won't do me in. Now, what were you saying?"
He seemed less bothered about his wound than Skyler thought necessary. She said, "You teamed up with Brennen and Granger against Marcus because of me. Now that I'm back, are you still in cahoots with them?"
Hearing Skyler's explanation, Zavier burst into laughter, "So you didn't come back to me willingly, you're here for Marcus?"
Skyler scoffed, "What else? You think I wanted to come back to you?"
That remark made Zavier lose it, "So you fell for Marcus? You came back even for him? Was it his idea to bring you here last night? Did something happen between you two? Have you been seeing each other all along? Did you leave me for him?"
Skyler coldly eyed the man in front of her. So in his mind, she was just a promiscuous woman, ready to sleep with anyone. She just listened to his accusations in silence. Her heart didn't hurt, but it was cold.
"I've hit the nail on the head, and you can't even deny it?" Zavier grabbed Skyler's shoulders, shaking her roughly, "Skyler, you could at least deny it."
Skyler didn't say anything, and didn't argue with him. There was no need to lie to him. She had indeed accidentally found out that Zavier was teaming up with Brennen and others against Marcus because of her.
