"Where do you think you're going looking like that?" With a glance, Jeffrey motioned for her to check herself out.

Her lips were swollen, her cheeks flushed, her hair a mess, and her makeup smeared. Drenched in sweat, her clothes were as disheveled as if she'd been in a brawl. That was not a look for her to go home? Her parents would probably call the cops on seeing this.

"Mind your own business." "And if not me, who's going to? Who do you want to take care of you?" Jeffrey's tone sank as if coaxing and compromising were his last resort, "Let's head to my place first so you can clean up, shower, and change.” Karen immediately rejected the idea, "I'm not going to your place." That would be jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

"My folks definitely won't be there this time; | will message them in advance. You need to pull yourself together at least. You can't go home looking like this even if you ditch the blind date.” Karen had planned to go to Kenneth's place originally, while Jeffrey had a point.

Kenneth would worry and pester her with questions on seeing her in this mess. And she had no idea what to tell him.

"Just come back with me to change, and I'll treat you to some good grub. How about it, Karen?" "You don't have any clothes for me!" "We'll shop! It's on me no matter how many you want and how much you will spend.” Anything to get her out of that dreadful pink outfit! It was bad luck just to look at it! "Fine, let's go." She didn’t have any better options for now.

"To my place?" Jeffrey's handsome face lit up with a smirk.

Karen turned her face away, ignoring him.

Jeffrey squinted his eyes and chuckled, jauntily grabbing the car keys to lead the way.

Her phone pinged several times with WhatsApp notifications.

Karen glanced down to see messages from Dorothy.

[Did you go? How did it go?] [I'm waiting for your update! Did you like the guy you met?] [Looks like you're quite into him; too busy to check your phone, huh?] Karen's lips puckered in irritation. Her self-pity only grew as she dwelt on it until she burst into tears.

It startled Jeffrey, who was driving, causing him to slam the brakes and pull over.

"What's wrong?" "It hurts... Jeffrey, you jerk! It hurts like hell, and you don't even care!" Jeffrey looked at her anxiously, "Um, where does it hurt? Should | take you to the hospital?" "Back off! Where do you think it hurts? You... you asshole!" Karen cried inconsolably, wiping away tears over and over.

Jeffrey watched helplessly, but he was clueless about comforting girls. Therefore, he could only stand there and hand her tissues, "Please stop crying, okay?" "Jeffrey, you jerk!" "Yeah, yeah, I'm a jerk. You can yell at me, but just stop crying!" Karen paused. She looked up at his confused and anxious face and couldn't hold back a laugh.

She was actually laughing out of sheer frustration! "Are you out of your mind? Why on earth did you crash my blind date, Jeffrey? You don't happen to have a thing for me, do you?" Jeffrey was about to burst into laughter himself.

"If I'm not into you, then why would | get out of my way to disrupt your blind date and be cursed out? When have | ever done anything like this in my life?" "How would | know if this isn't just your usual pick-up strategy?" "Do | look like | need to make a move to pick someone up?" Karen eyed him, her mouth twisted in skepticism, "How should | know? That's your area of expertise, not mine." "I promise you, from now on, | won't be chasing anyone else. Just you!" "Get lost!"
