The woman spoke with an air of arrogance, but Karen was not one to be trifled with.

Competing with other women was not her thing, but she most certainly was not about to let anyone walk all over her.

"If I'm not mistaken, that guy sitting next to you - he your current boyfriend? Or just a... friend with benefits?" The woman's face paled. "I don't love him! He's the one chasing after me! I only cbecause I thought Jeffrey might show up tonight." "Ah, better to have a stand-in than an empty seat, huh?" Karen chuckled. "I think I'm starting to see why Jeffrey never made you official." Karen had a way with words that cut deep without resorting to vulgarity.

Karen nonchalantly shook the water off her hands, standing beside the woman. Though she was shorter, she carried herself with the stature of someone over six feet tall. "If you're not the chosen one, maybe you should do sself-reflection! Bragging toabout your fling with Jeffrey only proves you're yesterday's news. I knew right away what kind of man Jeffrey was when he chased me. If you think you can makejealous with that, you're sorely mistaken."

"Con, Karen, keep this guy in line for us! We love seeing him taken down a peg!" Karen offered a polite smile and walked out.

Behind her, Jeffrey shrugged at his friends. "No trash talk, okay? If my lady gets mad, I'll cafter you guys!" Laughter filled the room again.

"Feeling really bad? Wantto grab shangover medicine?" "No, it's not that serious. Just standing out here in the fresh air is helping a lot." Karen looked up at him.

The restaurant's sign cast a light over Jeffrey's head, highlighting his chiseled jaw and making his profile look like a finely crafted sculpture.

He had all the makings of a heartbreaker in every aspect.

Karen knew that past issues needed to be left in the pasty Dwelling on eT m them only hurt herself.

"Are you getting lost in my looks?" Jeffrey noticed her gaze and playfully leaned in closer. "Here, take a closer look!" Karen laughed and gently NO pushed him away. "Let's go home."
