124 Noises Outside

Lina locked the door and paced around the room in her anger.

'What was that all about? Why would I take money from Reuben?' She stomped her feet and puffed up her cheeks.

She looked like an angry toddler whose request for candy was refused by her mom.

She fell on Benji's new bed and screamed into the pillow to reduce her frustration.

'You know what? That's not a bad idea! I should have demanded him to pay me for being his fake girlfriend!' She looked up from the pillow and her eyes brightened.

'Not only did he make use of my name to keep that Talia away, he even used me as a shield in front of his mom!' She pumped her fists in the air.

She did not know what exactly happened that caused Reuben's mom to behave in such an aggressive and mean way towards her but now she certainly did not like the lady.

'I even compared her to my mom! My mommy would not treat people she just met in such a harsh manner!' Lina harrumphed.
