Honey You Are My Lucky Star (Callen and Chelsea) novel Chapter 55

Jonah slams on the table and stands up with anger. "I thought you were just playing with her. But look what you're doing now! Are you really serious about this second- hand woman?"

He's talking to Harrison.

Soon, someone sees me. Standing at the door, I'm not sure if I should leave.

Someone pats Jonah's shoulder. When he turns his head, his eyes meet mine. Then, he sneeres at me.

"Wow, since she's here, should I get the hell out of here?" Jonah says as he looks at Harrison.

Harrison's still playing with his phone, just like he did before I left.

I suddenly kind of admire him. Everyone at the table is looking at him, but he's still immersed in his game.

Did he do it on purpose or did he not know what to say?

"I should be the one to go. Have a good time," I speak with a faint smile.

"Come here and sit." Harrison stops me.

The smile dies on Jonah's lips in an instant. Looks like I've made him very unhappy. Fortunately, the rest of them seem unconcerned.

I stand at the door motionlessly. "It's a party for your friends, and I don't want you guys to fight over me."

"Did we have a fight?" Harrison looks up at me.

I'm lost for words. I thought Jonah would say something, but he just sat down with a snort.

Harrison's friends saved me a seat next to him. I walk to him and sit down.

He glances at me. "Are you being cranky?"

"No. It's not worth it." I reply casually.

He looked at me for a while until the food was served. I'm finally relieved.

I can feel Jonah looking at me during the meal, but I turn a blind eye to it because I don't want any trouble here.

I won't stay with Harrison forever, so I'd better offend as few people as possible.

I don't have much of an appetite, but Harrison keeps picking up food for me. "Eat more. You're too thin."

"I'm not really in the mood for food," I whisper.

He glances at me and asks, "Is it because you got fired?"

He raised his voice on purpose, and my face turns red in an instant. Is he trying to embarrass me?

"Fired? Her boss doesn't know she's your woman?"

Just when I'm at a loss, I suddenly hear a teasing voice. It's from a man in his twenties. He's probably younger than me.

I was gonna say something, but Harrison interrupts me. "She was sexually harassed at work."

"Puff!" The man spits out his wine.

"What the f*ck! Is that man insane?"
