Love My Friends with Benefits

I really wanted to applaud her.

On the surface, Phoebe was saying that it was all her fault. In fact, her every word was secretly pushing the blame onto me. I was the one who'd insulted Gail and had cursed Gail.

If Bell were here, he probably would've already pounced on me to give me a beating.

"Queena, you can scold me or hit me!" Phoebe wiped her tears away and looked at me. "As long as you stop scolding and cursing my mother, I'll take anything that you throw my way."

Thanks, but no thanks.

I was just about to shoot her down when Leonard said, "That won't do."

Phoebe's eyes widened with joy.

He continued, "Queena has a concussion. She doesn't have the strength to hit anyone. How can that compare with the way you treated her yesterday?"

Her expression stiffened.

I was confused by his brisk, professional-sounding tone. I couldn't understand what he was up to.

After a while, Phoebe asked cautiously, "You... weren't you telling her not to cross the line?"

This almost made me laugh out loud.

Phoebe was probably on the verge of breaking down. She was so close to exposing her true intention by asking this question.

Leonard opened his mouth to speak. Suddenly, his face turned red and he coughed.

It seemed that he'd caught a cold from the cold showers he'd taken the night before.

Phoebe cried out in surprise and patted him on the back. "Leonard, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

He stopped coughing and said, "Yes, I told her not to cross the line, but I don't think an eye for an eye is going overboard."

"I... I..."

Phoebe spluttered as she looked at him dazedly.
