Eric sat down next to Jessica with a grin, and the other guy introduced himself, “Ms. Murphy, right? I’m Kevin Wallace. Nice to meet you.”

Jessica gave me a look, probably hoping I’d show a bit more enthusiasm.

I said politely, “Hello, Mr. Wallace.”

Eric looked me up and down and said, “We all call him Warner. Why not call him that too? Makes things feel more friendly.”

I shook my head. “It’s not really proper to call him that when we’ve just met.”

Jessica grinned at Warner and said, “Warner, I just introduced you to my prettiest girlfriend.”

Warner gave me an appreciative once–over, and it was obvious he liked what he saw.

‘Seriously, what the hell, Jessica?‘ I thought. From this moment on, she was dead to me. I was cutting her off for good.

Warner was about to sit down next to me when I suddenly said, “Jessica, I just remembered I’ve got something urgent to take care of. I might need to head out early.”

“What could be so urgent? Can’t you stay a little longer?” Jessica blinked in surprise and shot Warner a quick look.

Warner’s smug face instantly fell, like I’d just thrown shade at him in front of everyone.
