Jasper’s pupils suddenly contracted as he pointed at the mark on my neck, his voice rising sharply. “What’s that on your neck?”
I glanced at him and casually touched it. “Probably a mosquito bite.”
“Katherine! Who the hell are you trying to fool?”
“Then what do you think it is? And even if it’s exactly what you think, so what? “Men and women can have pure friendships, you know. Even if we kissed a little, it just means we’re really close friends.”
After saying that, I looked at Kimberly. “Don’t you agree, Ms. Jensen?”
Kimberly’s face flushed bright red, but she couldn’t come up with a response. She tugged at Jasper, looking like she was about to cry.
But Jasper completely ignored her, his eyes locked on the mark on my neck. “Katherine, which random guy did you go drinking with last night? You’d better tell me clearly!”
“If you’re so curious, why don’t you find out yourself?” I raised an eyebrow and smiled. “Now, could you move? I’d like to get some rest.”
Maybe it was my calm attitude that got under Jasper’s proud, arrogant skin. His face darkened to an extreme.
“Katherine, don’t you regret this. And don’t let me find out who you’ve been fooling around with.”
I gave a casual hum and replied, “Whoever regrets this is a bastard.”
Back in my room, I took another shower and changed into some loose, casual clothes. I packed my things and left the hot spring resort directly.
On the way back, my dad called me several times. I didn’t pick up.
Soon after, my brother sent me a message. “Did you have a fight with Jasper? Go apologize right now, stop being so dramatic. I’m negotiating a deal with the Suttons. Don’t mess this up for me.”
I felt an overwhelming pressure in my chest.
“I was just dating him, not sold to him. We’ve broken up now, and there’s no chance of getting back together.”
“Katherine, are you getting too full of yourself? Let me tell you, if you can’t hold on to a golden prospect like him, I’ll have Mom and Dad kick you out of the family!”
After graduating from college, I’d been completely independent.
