Although Jada used to have a relationship with Joel, they broke up later following an argument.
Joel never touched her and neither did he admit that she was his girlfriend. Moreover, the last time, he had publicly revealed her intention of getting close to him.
No matter how shameless Jada was, sometimes, she had to watch her own actions.
Therefore, at this moment, she could pretend nothing had happened between them, but she could not offer herself to him brazenly.
In fact, Joel was not his usual self today. Normally, he was not interested in conversing with other women, let alone Jada.
Tonight, however, he allowed her to sit down and accompany them while they drank.
Obviously, he was in a terrible mood.
“Young Master Foster, what is it that annoyed you today? Do you mind telling me?”
Jada found that Joel did not reject her today, which meant that she might have a chance. So, she feigned curiosity and probed him.
Joel eyed her in a doubtful manner.
He knew what Jada was thinking.
On a normal day, he would have refused to answer her.
For some strange reason, he decided to respond today.
“A woman.”
Joel pondered for a moment before he uttered those two words calmly.
Next, Jada made a bold analysis in front of Joel and Nevile.
After a few drinks, Jada had become emboldened. She held her own glass and sat beside Joel.
“Tell me, what kind of woman is she to ignore your charm?”
Jada put on a look of disbelief.
Joel drank quietly, and when the woman sat next to him, a slight wrinkle appeared between his eyebrows.
He thought that he might learn a thing or two about the psychology of women if he kept Jada by his side, but still, he did not enjoy her company.
“If I were that woman, I wouldn’t have behaved that way. You’re a thoughtful and attractive man. You’re the kind of partner all women dream of having.”
Noticing Joel’s lack of hostility towards her, Jada assumed that Joel had accepted her and hence she became more direct with her words.
“What kind of men do you women like, then?”
Joel was suddenly interested in knowing what women thought when he heard Jada’s words.
Now, Jada smiled bashfully.
Then, she leaned towards Joel.
“Well, us women...”
She ran a hand on Joel’s body.
Her voice took on a coquettish tone.
“Like men like you.”
Joel began to frown. He did not think that this woman would be so lascivious.
In fact, Joel did not like anyone touching him at all, and this woman in front of him was laughing in a slutty manner.
His gaze hardened as he stretched out a hand and shoved Jada away, causing her to fall flat on the ground.
At first, Jada was pleased with herself. Back when she was with Joel, he never let her come close to him unless they were in public.
She had nearly given up hope and believed that she would never have a chance with him. Contrary to her expectations, she bumped into him today and was even in such close proximity to him.
Therefore, she was so excited that her gestures became unhinged.
He felt nervous for Joel when he witnessed what happened a moment ago.
“Get up.”
Nevile did not go after Joel. He understood how terrible Joel felt right now and he did not want to bother his friend further.
So, he stood up and helped Jada up.
Nevile was not an honorable man. He was just someone who liked to look at pretty women, so he did not have much of an opinion of Jada. She was fine as long as she did not offend him or get close to him.
“I’m so pissed!”
Jada sat on the same spot Joel had been sitting on and spat angrily.
“Didn’t you bring that upon yourself?”
Jada glared at Nevile and muttered, “None of your business.”
Then, she stormed off as well.
When the two of them left, Nevile decided against staying in the bar any longer. He headed out after exchanging a few words with the bar employees.
The private room, which served as a place of peace and quiet to the three individuals, became quiet at once.
Jada was in a foul mood when she left.
Unlike how happy she felt when she first entered, she was now filled with rage.
In fact, she knew full well that Joel liked Lucy, so she was merely testing him just now.
However, he never rejected her flatly in the beginning, so why did he behave this way towards her in the end?
Men of his type… really did not have a way with women.
Jada bit her lower lip tightly.
