Lee Tells Jack They're Not Friends, Explained：freeze someone out
Jack comes to apologize for letting Lee's cat die. Lee accepts nothing: "I don't know if you've noticed this, but I don't do that," she says of trust, then ends the friendship outright — "But we are not friends, and I don't think we actually ever were." They will still work together, but only on her terms.
あらすじ
Jack Hock shows up begging Lee not to shut him out, apologizing that her cat's death was an accident. Lee says she will keep working with him because she has no other option, but insists they were never friends. She sets new rules — meetings in public, a receipt after every sale — then goes on selling. Later, federal agents serve her a subpoena and reveal Jack is cooperating.

What's really going on
The fight is not really about the cat. Jack let the animal die while Lee was away, and he needs forgiveness; Lee uses the crisis to redraw the entire relationship. "But we are not friends, and I don't think we actually ever were" is not just anger — it is protection. If they were never friends, then his betrayal cannot hurt her, and she can keep using him for business without owing him anything. She is also protesting a little too much: if trust meant nothing, the line would not need to be said so carefully. Jack, meanwhile, is already the weak link, and by the end of the chapter the agents confirm it when they tell her he is cooperating.
Theme
FriendshipLee ends the friendship in plain words, keeping Jack as a business partner while denying they were ever close.
TrustJack's mistake over the cat gives Lee the excuse to declare she never trusted anyone, and never will.

このシーンについての質問
Why is Lee so angry at Jack?
He let her cat die while she was away. The cat mattered to her, and his careless apology — it was an accident — is not enough for her.
Are Lee and Jack really not friends?
Lee insists they never were. In practice they are close, lonely people who use each other, which is exactly why she needs to say the line out loud.
Why does Lee keep working with Jack if she won't be his friend?
She says it plainly: she has no other option. He is useful, and keeping him at arm's length lets her take the help without the risk.
What happens to Jack at the end of the chapter?
Federal agents tell Lee they have intercepted Jack and that he is cooperating with them, which is why he now wants no contact with her.
What does Jack ask of Lee after the cat dies?
He wants her to stop freezing him out and to forgive an accident he says he feels awful about.
