Through the faint light of the sky, I thought I saw tears in the corners of her eyes.
I woke up.
It was already noon.
There were countless messages from Jade on my phone.
She called me.
This time, I answered.
"What is it? Have you signed?"
"Signed? Signed what? Eden, why didn't you voice chat with me last night?"
I laughed. "Are you serious?"
"Eden, don't push it too far. I forgot to put you on mute that night. I don't care what you thought you listened. Let me make it clear to you. I was watching an American TV series."
"Really? But he said your name."
Jade clearly was stunned.
She swallowed.
"Which ... part did you hear?"
I was surprised at how brazen she was. I didn't bother to respond to her.
Beside me, Harley, who was resting her head on my arm, was awakened by Jade's voice.
Harley heard our conversation.
With her beautiful eyes closed, she snorted softly.
Jade heard that and immediately became furious.
"Is there a woman beside you?"
"So what? You and I are done."
I said word by word.
Then I hung up the phone directly.
Jade angrily threw her phone on the ground.
Jade's bestie was silently searching on an Australian job app. She was startled and quickly picked up the phone.
