“I’m also going to sue Claire for assault!” Samantha covered half her face and stared at me. “Don’t blame Michael for not liking you! You’ve always been so strong, no man would like you like that!”
“You deserve to be lonely forever!”
I listened to Samantha’s comments and glanced at Michael, who clearly had a flicker of guilt. What else could I not understand?
Out of my sight.
So that’s how Michael described me.
In that case, why should I be so hard on myself? I smiled at Samantha, then looked back at Michael and nodded earnestly.
“You’re quite right.”
Michael, thinking Samantha had convinced me, was about to say, “You—”
But I interrupted him.
“After all, I’m not like you,” I said, changing the subject. “I’m not the kind of person who wouldn’t bother picking up morals lying on the ground.”
I pointed at my face. “Since you’re going to sue, whatever!”
“But for now,” I laughed, “enjoy the fifteen days of detention and the compensation.”
After all.
I bought a house to support Samantha’s son’s education.
