“Ah, I can do it myself. Thanks!” I said, declining.
He smiled and continued placing food on my plate as though he hadn’t heard me.
I remembered what Cherry had said: Jamie seemed to harbor feelings for me.
It made me appreciate Soren’s planned arrival. It could serve as a reminder to Jamie that I was already taken.

“What about your car?” Jamie asked, curious.
“Let it stay there for now. We’ll have a repairman drive it to the shop tomorrow.”

‘Likewise. Bye.”
J left with Soren, and a shiver ran down my spine. Once we were in his car, I groaned, “What was that about?! I could’ve just gotten into your car! Why did you need to talk to him?!”

Hmphlit know what you’re really thinking!” I called him. This is exactly what I was worried about. That’s why I told you beforehand. But you doing that back there? just made things awkward for me.”
“Hmph!” He sneered back. “If it weren’t for you being such an open communicator, I would’ve done more than Just that!”
