Angeline growled, saying, "Shut your stupid eyes."
Zayne smiled slyly. "If you’re afraid of being seen by others, then please be more mindful of your private life."
Angeline used her hand to cover her neck. "Speak. Why are you looking for me?"
Zayne quit acting frivolous and became hesitant.
"You're... Bosom friends with Josephine, so... Did she ever mention her reason for going overseas back then?"
Angeline nodded. Her bright smile was replaced with sadness which made Zayne nervous.
"Why did she go abroad?"
He waited for an answer with trepidation as he looked at Angeline, feeling emotionally nervous.
Angeline begrudgingly looked at Zayne. "Since your heart still thinks of her, then why did you act like you're so heartless?"
Zayne expressed his helplessness. "I've decided to be with Shirley, so I can’t be like how I acted in the past, not cutting off all ties with other women. This is very unfair for Shirley."
Angeline felt extremely angry. "You're so caring
toward this Ms. Thomas of yours but so cruel toward Josephine."
Zayne had nothing to counter that.
Angeline spoke further. "Since you’ve decided to end things with Josephine, then you don't need to find out about her past. I'm afraid that you might feel guilty for life once you know about it."
She then turned around to leave, but Zayne caught her hand. "How can you just tell me half the story and leave the other half hanging? You’re pulling on my curiosity. You might as well just spill the deets and let me be done with it."
Angeline said, "You want to know it so badly?"
He responded, "Quit the crap."
