Benjamin burst out giggling. “We were just guessing.”
“Stop making such guesses. It's terrifying!” said Thalia while shaking her head as if she had encountered something horrible.
“Why? Are you scared?” Benjamin looked at her.
“Of course!”
“But what are you scared of?”
“I...” Thalia was at a loss for words. Right, what am I scared of? I don't know, but I just think it's terrifying! “Anyway, it's just terrifying!”
Benjamin scrutinized Dave quietly. “Actually, Mr. Dave is quite good-looking, and he's rich. I think you can give him a chance...”
“Are you crazy?”
“What's wrong?”
“Which of our organizations do you think will agree to this? Darknetz or DX?”
“This is your personal matter. Why do you need their agreements?”
“I'm a member of Darknetz. Of course, I have to follow the rules of Darknetz!”
“Darknetz doesn't have such a rule that says that its member can't fall in love with someone from DX, does it?”
“There's no such written rule, but everyone just knows it! DX is their nemesis. Darknetz will never allow such a thing to happen!”
“If it happens, it happens. It doesn't matter whether it's allowed or not.”
“But it's not happening!”
“At the end of the day, you just don't love him!”
“Yes, you finally said the truth!”
Benjamin looked at her. “I just think it's too difficult between you and Spencer. Maybe you won't suffer so much if you change your target!”
Thalia's expression immediately turned stiff when Benjamin mentioned Spencer.
However, she later put on an indifferent face. “Says who? Listen, my life will be more miserable if I get together with Dave!”
“There are two types of pain in this world. One is psychological pain, and the other is physical pain. If you can find someone who loves you as much as you love him, even if the world is against you, you won't feel any pain as long as the two of you hold on to each other. But if your love is one-sided, even if the whole world supports you, you'll still be in pain if he doesn't love you!”
Benjamin looked at her for a moment and continued, “Maybe Spencer likes you too, but his attitude is making you miserable. Thalia, I don't think you should be treated like this. No matter what excuses he has, he shouldn't treat you like this.”
Thalia was dumbstruck by Benjamin's words.
She stared at him for a long time, not knowing how to respond.
Even a child understands that. It's impossible that Spencer doesn't understand it. Perhaps he just doesn't like me in the same way that I like him!
Thalia suppressed her emotions and smiled. “What are you talking about? I'm over it now!”
“Really?”
“Yes!”
“Stop deceiving yourself!”
Thalia poked him with her finger again. “You were so gentle to me just now. Why did you change so quickly?”
“I just feel sorry for you.”
Thalia smiled. Of course, she understood. “I'm not deceiving myself. I just need some time. Don't worry. I'll be fine!”
“The best way to heal from a broken relationship is to start a new one! Maybe you'll forget about him soon!”
“With who? Do you want me to just grab a stranger on the street?”
“There's one right in front of you!”
Thalia looked at Dave in front of her and shook her head. “I swear by my sixth sense, he doesn't have any feelings for me!”
