Lenard shook his head, not as firm as before, "Fine, if you're hell-bent on doing this, I can't stop you. Just watch your back!"
"Get lost!" Jeanette clenched her teeth, her eyes reddening. Without any more fuss, Lenard turned around and left Jeanette's villa. Jeanette sat on the sofa, tears rolling down uncontrollably.
Chloe gave her a glance and asked, "You have a thing for Lenard?"
Jeanette paused at the question, her swollen eyes looking at Chloe before she wiped away her tears.
"How did you know?" She asked.
"It's pretty obvious in the lyrics you wrote." Chloe said.
Jeanette gritted her teeth and said angrily, "I must've been blind!"
Zoey chimed in, "Who hasn't had a thing for someone not worth mentioning?"
Jeanette and Zoey glanced at each other and then burst into laughter. Chloe also cracked a smile. The tension from Lenard's visit vanished.
Lenard, who left Jeanette's place, immediately called Keira, "I confirmed it myself; Jeanette doesn't have any of her previous works. She told Chloe herself. If she had them, she wouldn't be resorting to such drastic measures."
