"Man, you're just playing me for a fool."

Phipps looked into my eyes, which deepened in intensity. Before he could make a move, I swiftly pulled away and left the kitchen for the bathroom to wash my hands.

I was enjoying my meal until he decided to annoy me.

But even so, I didn't feel disgusted, not like when Dustin looks at me or speaks, which makes my stomach turn.

Thinking of him, I remembered how forceful he was last night... things are going to be awkward between us from now on. And I can't use him anymore.

Otherwise, I might not find out anything before he completely overpowers me.

And, I'm worried he might go after Phipps, especially after Phipps ruined his plans last night and got on his bad side.

When I finished up in the bathroom, Phipps had already served breakfast, even pouring me some porridge.

"Where are you heading later?" I asked him while sipping my porridge.

"Got something for me to do?" Phipps joined me for breakfast, completely relaxed and composed, even when cooking in the kitchen or when I teased him, showing no signs of panic or unease. "I'm just worried Dustin won't let you off the hook after last night," I cautioned.
