Shannon stopped smiling when she noticed that I had gotten mad and said to me seriously, "Okay, Wanda. I was wrong. I promise there’ll be no next time, alright?”
She grabbed my hand and shook it.
I lost to her. I was becoming more and more like a child.
I looked at her and asked, "Are you and Jordan really okay?"
"It's nothing." Shannon shook her head.
Turning my gaze to Marius, I said calmly, "Tell her what she said last night."
Marius hesitated a little when he heard this. "That… isn't such a good idea, right? What if it was just a dream?"
"Say it." I was getting mad.
"Alright then." Marius directed his gaze to Shannon. "You mentioned an affair last night. You said something about cheating.
"But I wasn’t able to catch the specifics clearly.”
He tacked on at the end.
My eyes were fixed on Shannon's expression. As I observed her, I noticed that she was calm and indifferent.
"Jordan’s just been traveling often for business recently. I’m just not very happy with him,”
Shannon revealed.
Jordan was on a business trip. It explained why no one answered the door when we went to her house last night.
"That's it?" I asked her, still worried.
Shannon nodded. "Yes. What else is there? What? Did you think I had gotten into an argument with Jordan?”
"No, I'm just worried about you since you were acting off yesterday.”
For a moment, I was flustered when I recalled Shannon having drunk so much all of a sudden last night before waltzing off with a stranger.
