I didn't refuse but wondered, how did he know where I lived? I reasoned it away, convincing myself that I had been to the hospital often enough for him to recognize me.
When I got home, I barely had time to change out of my wet clothes before receiving a message from Jerome: [Tonight, Birmingham Academy, Room 521. Wait for me.]
After some hesitation, I opened my wardrobe and found the white fishtail dress Jerome had given me three years ago.
Birmingham Academy wasn't far, so I soon arrived. The server opened the car door and led me inside.
Even before entering the private room, I could hear the lively atmosphere. Their laughter filled the air until I appeared. The room suddenly fell silent, awkward even. Jerome froze for a few seconds, "Tania, why are you here?"
I looked around the room and realized everyone present was one of Jerome's closest friends. His expression told me instantly, the message was from Jessica.
At that moment, Jessica leaned tightly against Jerome, dressed in a striking red bodycon dress. Half-drunk and dazed, her seductive demeanor captivated everyone.
Sensing the tension, Jerome's friends quickly invited me to join their game. In the first round, Jerome lost.
