Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Jean dazed for a moment before leaving the room. She felt as though she was being discarded after having been taken advantage of. Jean felt depressed watching the door slowly close behind her.

'I am, after all, not the protagonist tonight.'

Jean whispered to herself. She then left the hotel and went for a walk along the beach alone.

Not long after, Zed arrived at the hotel. Before ringing the doorbell, he fixed his collar and checked his pockets for the gift he had prepared. After confirming the box of the gift, Zed was ready to ring the bell.

Eva who had been waiting by the door, hurried to open it the moment she heard the bell.

"Zed, you are here. Come on in."

Eva excitedly pulled Zed's hand and invited him inside the room, closing the door behind them.

Zed was surprised to see Eva. He scanned the room to look for Jean. He was beginning to feel angry, and he wanted to ask Jean why she hadn't told him Eva would be here.

His search was in vain, Jean was no where to be found.

Eva realized Zed knew something was up, so she quickly explained "Isn't there a gemini meteor shower tonight? I heard it was once in a century, so I invited Jean..."

"Where is Jean?" Zed asked before letting Eva finish.

"She went out to get other friends. She will come back soon."

Eva made up an excuse in hurry.
