Sienna's sudden break- up seemed to have given me a warning, telling me not to act rashly, let alone have too much to do with Harrison.
But when did I start to have a crush on him?
From my point of view, I could see his expression clearly. Naturally, he also saw his frowning face. I felt a little uneasy, but I still forced myself to say, "It seems that their separation today has made me understand and meddle in things, just like the two of us."
"What happened between us?" he asked.
I didn't know if he really didn't understand, or if he was pretending to be confused. My heart was in a mess.
Abbie's face suddenly flashed across my mind, as well as her arrogance in front of me more than once, saying that Harrison would stand by her side sooner or later. Thinking of Sienna and Jonah, I was even more panicked.
From the beginning till now, what right did I have to compete with Abbie? Could it be that I was younger, prettier, or richer than her? Since when did I start to turn a blind eye and not even consider what was happening in front of me?
"There's nothing between us. I've always had a different feeling for you. You promised me that you would help me, you gave me money, and I gave you..." I suddenly shut up because I really couldn't say the word 'body'.
"Can I seriously explain to Harrison that we have always been in the same exchange? Maybe it's not in the same exchange, but Harrison helped me more. He has helped me in many ways."
"From the matter of my mother being hospitalized, the matter of the loan sharks, to the entanglement between Callen and Maisy and me, and even the work problems I encountered, which one of them wasn't Harrison's help? I thought about it for a while, but none of them was able to distance themselves from Harrison."
I tore off the mask of reality and felt extremely sad.
At this time, Harrison, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth and looked at me coldly. "Is this what you want to say to me?"
I shuddered and looked up at him. He was expressionless, but I didn't say a word for a long time.
"I didn't expect you to see us like this. You stood in front of me with your body in exchange for money and what you want. Is that true? "
When he asked me, his voice was calm. With his expressionless face, I felt scared just like that.
But I didn't allow myself to retreat like this. I clenched my fists and braced myself to say, "Am I wrong? We were together because of this. We are different from others. We are even worse than Sienna and Jonah, who have emotional roots."
"No, Sienna has sacrificed his feelings. I don't know if Jonah is sincere or not. Maybe in your eyes, Sienna and I are just playthings.
Isn't the world of rich people like this?"
When I said this, I remembered that when I first met Harrison, he took me to a banquet but didn't accompany me. Because it had been too long, I forgot that I didn't accompany him. I only remembered that a man deliberately wandered around in front of me and seduced me.
What was even more ridiculous was that the man was the lover of one of the rich women in the banquet. Generally speaking, he was just a man who sold his body!
Then what about me? What’s the difference between me and that man?
"I can pretend that I didn't hear what you said today. Have a good rest. I'll go back first." After that, Harrison turned around and left.
