“Why wouldn’t there be? Don’t you have tons of them around you? What’s so good about a married woman like me?” said Xyla, maintaining her kind and polite smile the entire time.
The passion in Josh’s eyes grew deeper. “Then, why don’t I see them? I think you’re the best. Since you’ve already planned to get a divorce, why not leave me a spot? Once you’re divorced, I can fill it.”
“I always thought of you as a business partner, a friend.”
“Then, you can stop thinking of me as a friend. Treating me as a backup works too.”
It was hard to imagine that this person who was worshipped by countless people like a precious star would actually say something like wanting to become a backup option.
This man was Josh Batton. The unattainable star in many young girls’ hearts.
However, Xyla did not waver. “I don’t have a habit of keeping backups. Josh Batton, you’re a great and excellent person. Listen to me and look ahead. Keep your options open.”
“I will wait for you.” Josh was reluctant to just give up. “I will keep this honor of being my first love open to you.”
First love? These two words bewildered Xyla. Such a brilliant and dazzling person had never dated anyone before?
Before deciding to sign him, Xyla had asked Georgie to check his details. He had a clean background without a history of romance. However, back then, Xyla simply assumed that he had hidden it well. It was impossible for him to have no experience in dating. To her surprise, the information had been true, and he was much more innocent than she expected.
“There’s really no need to. Go on and give such a nice opportunity to someone else,” said Xyla.
“I’ve said that I’ll wait for you.” Josh was stubborn, still reluctant to give up. “You’re the first person I’ve ever liked. Before meeting you, no one has moved my heart like you did, so I won’t give up.
