Queenie, a college student, meets Mr. Lewis in a secluded campus corner after a charged night together. A public argument erupts—accusations about being seduced, a sudden slap, and Queenie's plea that she's ordinary and wants to focus on her studies to avoid campus rumors about a student and a rich man. She admits taking the initiative last night but insists their deal ended. Mr. Lewis asks once more, "Do you want to be with me?" She answers "No." He gives her a card, orders her to stay away, and walks off as someone calls, "Wait," leaving the breakup unresolved.
