"I, I've met her. I've met Caroline before here," Brennan stammered, "I saw her outside the villa."
Selina's eyes glinted a little.
That would mean that the meet up between Brennan and Caroline was just a pure coincidence.
"What did she say to you?" Selina asked again.
Brennan hesitated.
Caroline had told him a lot and if he were to tell everything to Selina, Brennan knew that he would stutter and stammer.
He was afraid that Selina would dislike his stuttering.
Moreover, he knew that Caroline and Selina were good friends so he didn't think too much about it.
Brennan said after a while, "Nothing much."
Selina nodded.
"Brennan, I know that you're seeing a psychologist. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have treated you like that," Selina suddenly stood up.
She bowed at Brennan, "Brennan, I'm sorry."
Brennan was shocked.
"No, there's no need," he blushed and said.
He wanted to help Selina up but he dared not move forward.
"If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have turned out like this today. I didn't know that things would play out so badly," Selina said with regrets.
Brennan shook his head desperately, "No, no."
Selina continuously apologized
to Brennan but Brennan consistently shook his head vigorously. His face blushed bright red.
All he said was "no" again and again to Selina.
Time passed by slowly.
Selina felt she had already apologized for all that she could.
This meet up with Brennan made her feel even guiltier than before.
She did harm Brennan but Brennan had never blamed her.
Before leaving, Selina said, "Brennan, can I borrow your phone?"
Brennan immediately handed his phone over.
Selina entered her number into Brennan's phone.
She then handed the phone back to Brennan.
When Brennan got his phone back, he accidentally brushed against Selina's fingers and his whole arm began to tremble.
Selina looked at Brennan sincerely, "Brennan, this is my number. From now on, we are friends, very good friends. If you need anything in the future, please come to me."
Brennan's eyes were full of emotions, after a while, he nodded vigorously.
"Are you leaving too or staying for awhile?" Selina asked sweetly.
"Stay, staying for a while," Brennan stuttered.
"Then I'll be going. Call me if there's anything I can do for you," Selina waved to Brennan goodbye.
Brennan's face turned completely red.
Selina exited the cafe with Matthew following behind.
Just as their car were leaving, Selina saw a gentleman in a suit talking to Brennan through the glass windows.
Selina was surprised, "Who is that?"
"The HR manager of a company."
