With a shy gesture, Doreen moved the spoon toward his mouth, “Roscoe, please try this…”
Then suddenly, “Clap!” The spoon was struck from her hand and fell to the floor.
Doreen was stunned, feeling the sting on her finger. She looked at Roscoe in disbelief, wondering if he was the one who had knocked the spoon away.
Roscoe avoided her gaze and muttered, “Sorry, I didn’t notice it.”
Doreen’s discomfort eased slightly. It seemed Roscoe hadn’t done it deliberately.
The incident caught Jarrod’s eye. “Doreen, are you alright?” Jarrod inquired, shooting a stern look at Roscoe.
Doreen smiled and said, “I’m fine. I didn’t hold it steady and spilled it on myself. I’ll go change my clothes.”
Doreen cherished her appearance, and she detested any exhibitor stains. Being particular about her appearance, Doreen always carried extra clothes for such situations.
Doreen glanced flirtatiously at Roscoe and asked, “Roscoe, could you fetch my change of clothes for me?”
Roscoe observed Nicole’s red lips as she indulged in the Shrimp and Grits, savoring them as if they were the most delectable delicacy in the world. He felt a surge of discomfort.
With a smile, Roscoe took the key and departed.
Jarrod’s gaze lingered on Roscoe. Roscoe appeared much calmer and more composed than before.
Loosening his tie, Jarrod regarded Doreen with an expressionless gaze.
“Doreen, it’s fine to enjoy his company, but don’t get too attached.
He’s not worthy of you.”
At that moment, Nicole’s grip on her spoon tightened.
Doreen was visibly upset by the comment. She sulked. “Jarrod, please don’t speak ill of Roscoe. He’s a true gentleman and treats me well.”
Their acquaintance was barely a day old.
