JOINT LUNCH 2

KAREN

I always knew this joint lunch was going to be a disaster. Of every place to have lunch, annoying Jessica had to choose the most ridiculous place.

Or maybe it was only I that found it ridiculous.

It was the most exquisite dining place in the Adams building meant for the 'people' I walked in with. But definitely not me.

A meal here would cost more than an organ. The last budget I had was to pay off the debt I was owing Jay and couldn't afford to squander it on lunch way above my means.

I didn't want to be shameless and eat without paying. No more accepting free offers coated with dark intentions from Collins or anyone else. It always ended in disaster.

My stomach grumbled. Thankfully the background sound shielded it from being heard.

This was what I hated with men. Their ego and always trying to be the superior ones amongst themselves.

This joint lunch wouldn't have happened if Collins didn't intentionally poke at Jay's ego and if Jay didn't have to show his superiority.
