"Don't always wear black and white. It makes you look old." Sienna takes the clothes in my hand away discontentedly.
She turns around and gives me a pink dress. "Try this. You shouldn't be wearing anything too bright now."
I take the dress and go to the fitting room. Other than attending banquets with Harrison, I rarely wear dresses. I'm not comfortable with them.
When I come out, Sienna says the dress really fits me. Then, she just throws away the shirt I was wearing.
"If I lived like you, I'd starve to death." I shake my head.
She says casually, "I'm just trying to improve your life."
"Come on, I can't afford this."
"All right, all right. But the occasional luxury is fine." She raises her hands and gives in.
Then, I receive a call from Harrison. He says he can't pick me up because he has a dinner party. So, I need to go back by myself.
After hanging up the phone, I realize we're like
a couple now. Then, a shadow of a smile touches my mouth.
"What makes you so happy? Boyfriend?" Sienna approaches me and asks.
I'm shocked by her sudden approach and step back subconsciously. I pat my chest and say, "Don't scare me."
"Don't changed the subject." She holds me in her arms and says in an interrogating tone, "You looked like a woman in love just now. Tell me, are you dating someone?"
I'm flustered. I'm not ready to tell her about Harrison. Besides, he's not my boyfriend.
Looking at her, I shake my head helplessly. "I wish, but I'm not."
"No way. How can you be so good and not be wanted? Don't tell me you still love Callen."
"Impossible!" I firmly deny. "I don't give a s*it about this jerk now."
Not to mention the damage he's done to me, I could never forgive him for his involvement in my mother's death.
The mention of him makes me feel terrible again.
Noticing my change, Sienna comforts me. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean that. Please don't be angry."
"I'm not angry. I just don't understand why you brought him up." In order not to let her blame himself, I change the subject.
"You haven't been in a relationship in years. I thought you weren't over him," she looks at me worriedly and says.
