"Hey! What's the deal, lady? I'm already compromising!" Did he really have to kneel or something? "Who the hell am | to you? No need for the sweet talk." Karen just wanted to keep her distance from Jeffrey before she left Swevia Country for good.
She had her rant and almost broke his hand - the revenge was done! She never thought she'd have anything to do with Jeffrey, a spoiled rich kid. Once she was back home, they were as different as night and day.

Many women had tried the same tactic when they wanted more from him, saying things like, "What am | to you, that you should care?" or "On what grounds do you get to tell me what to do?" So Jeffrey raised an eyebrow, instantly catching on to her so-called 'hint'.
"If you want to be my girlfriend or something, just say it straight. No need to beat around the bush." "| think your head's screwed on wrong!" Karen's face cracked, and her eyes rolled as she sized up Jeffrey with a mix of disdain and pity, "Me, your girlfriend? Take a good, hard look in the mirror—no, even if you're easy on the eyes, | wouldn't settle for what Heather has abandoned!" Heather's leftovers? Disgusting. No, thank you.
Jeffrey was getting frustrated too, "Can we please stop talking about Heather?" Karen shrugged, "It's the truth, isn't it? Didn't you go after her?" "I did not! Absolutely not!" He had never pursued her, never even thought about being her boyfriend.
Jeffrey knew all too well how much Heather was into someone else — Everett.
"So you never even had a crush on her?" Karen rolled her eyes, "l wouldn't touch anything Heather has laid her hands on, be it things or people. So, drop your narcissism! Sure, | thought you were pretty good-looking on the plane, but getting to know you? It's just a pretty face. There's nothing about you other than that face that attracts me one bit." "ou—" "I know, you lack female company. Maybe it's just not convenient here in Swevia Country, but | have no intention of being your disposable girlfriend! If you're that desperate, just go out to fetch some or go for prostitutes as long as you don't set your sights on me." Karen wasn't silly to think his interest in her was genuine. She had seen firsthand how pent up he was today! Suddenly coming over to talk about being his girlfriend - it was clear what was on his mind.
Even though she was no innocent little girl and wasn't against a mutually beneficial fling, Jeffrey was absolutely a no-go.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe fact that he had liked Heather made him completely nasty in Karen's book.
Jeffrey stood there and stunned by her tirade. His mouth was agape but completely at a loss for words.
"Is there anything else?" Karen felt she had said her piece, and it was time for this guy to leave.
But he was still there, leaning on the door frame. The imprint from the slam was still visible on his hand. He showed no sign of leaving.
"You— |I—" Jeffrey stammered, finally squeezing out, "I never go for prostitutes!" "Oh, good to know." Karen shrugged, "And then?" "I came here to ask you out for a walk, that's alll What's with all this mess? Karen, be sane, will you? At least | have taken you out for food when you were hungry here. I've done all you've asked of me these past days. Do you really have to be this harsh on me?"
