Chapter 48

　　Serah leaned in and whispered as though she was telling something so important and secretive. I swiveled my head a bit to the front to hear what her surprised eyes could bring.

　　"I know you may hardly believe me, but that's just the truth and nothing else. I overheard Jeremy talking on the phone just now. He's meeting someone else, someone special, I guess!" She poured a small quantity of wine into a cup and sipped it.

　　My eyes narrowed, a mix of disbelief and concern flickering across my face. Even as I knew how bad Serah could be, I still found an iota of truth in what she said. Why would Jeremy rush out abruptly? He had never done such before. I was also shocked when I saw him perform the drama this evening, but I never could have guessed that he was calling other girls.

　　"What are you talking about, Serah? Jeremy wouldn't do that," I interjected, trying to hide the pain.

　　Serah chuckled and sipped from her cup of wine again.
