Ernest was a man. Being fed by a man?! What if someone saw it and told it to someone else? How would they see him? What if they got the wrong idea?
So, Jordy refused.
"I’ll help myself."
Gloria said no, "That would be impossible. I don’t think you can even move now."
Gloria took the tray from Ernest and fed Jordy. And Jordy was very cooperative.
Ernest noticed that and wiped the corner of her mouth.
He despised Jordy.
He had never seen such an actor like him!
However, he would never put his thoughts into words. He didn’t forget what his boss had told him.
Ernest hung his head and said to Gloria, "Miss white, I’ll leave you if you don’t need anything else."
"OK. Thank you," Gloria nodded.
Then she asked Jordy with concern, "Do you like it? Want some water?"
It suddenly brought back to Jordy the memories of their three years of marriage.
