Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 286 Stirring the Pot

After browsing the stores for a while, I managed to find a few good pieces. Just then, my phone buzzed with an incoming message. I checked and noticed it was from Eric. He was working late and said he could pick me up on his way home.

I sent him my location and went to wait for him at a café downstairs. Unfortunately, the moment I sat down, Elsa popped up out of nowhere.

I frowned at her innocent-looking face. Suppressing my irritation, I asked, "Why are you here again?"

Elsa smiled sweetly. "I could ask you the same thing, Jane. I'm here waiting for Jeremiah, and what a coincidence, I ran into you. Are you waiting for Eric?"

I sipped my coffee casually. "So what if I am?"

Hearing this, a look of jealousy flashed across her face. She gritted her teeth and muttered, "Eric sure treats you well."

I gave her a sideward glance, then smiled. "Well, he's definitely better than Jeremiah. Eric and Jeremiah are like night and day."

I turned to look at her and continued, "But praising him in front of me is pointless. He can't hear you, after all. I suggest you stop talking about him. Otherwise, I'd start to think that you're crushing on Eric, your brother-in-law."

As I said that, I raised my voice slightly, just enough for the surrounding customers to hear. Almost immediately, people started whispering and glancing over.
