Honey You Are My Lucky Star (Callen and Chelsea) novel Chapter 28

I didn't continue to listen. His words mean nothing to me, because he's Harrison's friend, not mine.

What's more, Jonah said it on purpose when I wasn't completely gone.

Actually, my relationship with Harrison is not what Jonah thinks it is. So what if I'm his date tonight? I can't do anything without his permission.

I know better than anyone if he's serious.

I don't even want to leave the bathroom, because I know they're still talking about me.

I sit on the toilet and close the door.

This villa should be designed for banquets, or there wouldn't have been a bathroom this big.

I'm sitting on the toilet seat, resting. If I had my bag, I would be playing with my phone now.

"Have you seen her today?"

"Who?"

After a while, I hear people talking outside. I can see why the TV show says the ladies' room is the source of the gossip.

"Mr. Stewart's never brought a date to a party before. Who was that woman with him?"

As expected, they're talking about Harrison and his date again.

Another woman replies, "A booty call or something. What else could she be?"

"That doesn't make sense. The whole upper class knows he doesn't play with women."

"In fact, he's taken a woman to parties before. Five years ago, when Aviana Cook was still in the country, they were like a perfect couple."

Five years ago? Aviana? Abbie seems to have talked about the same thing with her friend just now.

"It's a thing of the past. Aviana's abroad now. Maybe they broke up. Even if they didn't, Harrison's got a new woman." A woman says disdainfully.

"You know what? My brother said Aviana'd be back next month. Why did Harrison bring a date here when she's coming back? Think about it."

"Wow, I got it. He's trying to use his so-called date to make Aviana jealous."

I don't want to hear any more.

Harrison became my boss from the moment he gave me that black card. But their words still hurt me.

In their eyes, I'm like a tool. Harrison brought me here so people would know I was his date, and then Aviana, the woman he really loves, would get jealous.

That explains why he didn't care about Abbie's hostility towards me.

He just wants me to be the target.

I come out of the bathroom and see Harrison leaning against the wall. This tall man in a black suit really stands out, like a sad, handsome prince.

"I thought you fell in the toilet."

He walks up to me and teases me.

I can't help rolling my eyes. "Would you save me if I fell in?"

He crosses his arms around his chest and appears to be thinking seriously.
