Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Jean rushed to the bus station. As she got closer, she stopped to breathe. She was panting as she was out of breath. Quickly, she sought out John and Maranda in the crowd. They were looking around, anxiously scanning everyone passing by.

"Jean..." Maranda said as soon as she caught sight of her partner. She hopped a little as she waved her hands for Jean to see where she was standing, "Here... here..." she shouted.

As soon as Jean heard Maranda's voice, she turned in the direction the voice came from. When she spotted her friend, Jean hurried to her.

At the same time, John's expression softened and his lips turned up in a half smile. However, when he noticed that Zed was following Jean, his smile faded and his expression grew serious.

"Why are you so late?" As soon as she reached John and Maranda, John asked Jean. His eyebrows were furrowed with concern.

Jean froze for a few seconds and looked embarrassed. She did not know how to respond to John's question.

"It's not her fault. I got up late." Zed had reached in time to hear John's question. Still standing behind Jean, he nodded to John and replied for her. Then he handed Jean's luggage to John and said, "Please take care of Jean."

"Don't bother, I can carry it myself." Jean said quickly. She had sensed that John was in a bad mood. She was also feeling guilty for being late and for having worried her colleagues. She grabbed the luggage as she didn't intend to cause John any further inconvenience.

However, Jean did not expect that Zed would ignore her and pass the luggage to John anyway.

John's expression soured further as he took the luggage from Zed.

"Well, it's time. We'd better get moving or we'll miss the bus?" Maranda clapped her hands in excitement as she reminded John and Jean with a big smile.

"I need to leave now. Be careful on your way home. I will call you when I arrive." Jean became anxious after hearing Maranda's words. She turned and quickly bade Zed goodbye.

"Okay. Take care of yourself since I will be not with you." Zed said with a worried look. He absentmindedly nodded at Jean. For some reason, he was more worried about her than usual. He felt the need to remind Jean to be careful.

"All right." Jean nodded in return. Just as Jean was about to walk toward her bus, Zed suddenly pulled Jean close and hugged her tight.

Since they were in a public place, Jean felt very embarrassed and intended to get out of Zed's embrace.
