The Wrong Woman

Cole's words struck a chord with Mila, frowning as she gazed silently at him. His stereotypical male response had truly unsettled her.

On the other hand, Phoebe sighed in relief, feeling some of her anger dissipate. However, she still felt conflicted, especially due to Cole's ambiguous attitude. Just as Phoebe was about to respond, Cole unexpectedly spoke up, "You've been my only girlfriend all along. There's no one else."

His declaration left Phoebe and Mila utterly stunned.

Mila frowned at Phoebe, her eyes silently questioning why their relationship had been kept under wraps.

Feeling increasingly wronged, Phoebe angrily demanded, "Cole, what are you talking about? When did I become your girlfriend?"

Confused, Cole replied, "Haven't we always been together?"

Phoebe simmered with frustration, feeling utterly drained. Mustering a faint smile, she retorted, "Me... your girlfriend? How did that even come about?"

Cole felt deeply wounded by her words. Growing increasingly frustrated, he insisted, "Aren't you going to acknowledge it?"

"What exactly am I supposed to acknowledge?" Phoebe shot back, her exasperation mounting.

Cole felt a mix of hurt and confusion. "You talk to me daily, send me messages, call me. Sometimes, you stay up until the early hours just to video chat with me.
