Lance's heart pounded, at a loss for words.
"Ever since Keira posted that picture of me and him online, it was game over for you and the Watson family's investment!" Chloe said.
Lance stayed silent for a bit before asking, "Chloe, what's happened to you? You think this is okay?"
"I'm happy, I like who I am now. We cleared the air between us ages ago, so don't come crying to me about the investment. If she can't get it, that's on her! Oh, wait, she's competent alright, she's been talking big about making me look bad at the perfume competition, I'll be waiting." With that, Chloe hung up.
Lance's frown deepened.
He looked at Keira, sitting on the edge of the bed, crying. Her swollen eyes met his, her voice choked with sobs "Lance, she's just too much. I've done my best to avoid her, why does she keep picking on me?"
Lance took a deep breath, Chloe's words echoing in his head, "Don't come crying to me about the investment."
He bit his lip, walked over to her. Keira threw herself into his arms, hugging him tight, her sobs growing louder, "Lance, my sister's bullying me, what should I do? I'm so scared!"
True, Chloe's change was definitely unexpected. She had no idea what Chloe was thinking now.
"It's okay, just avoid her as much as you can. If she won't back down, you should..." Lance said.
