Meanwhile, Maxen was sitting on the edge of the bed, arms on his thighs, and his room was completely dark. The only light source was the sconce outside, filtering through the window. "I hated you once…" "I had this dream where I felt trapped…" "Do you think I drive you crazy? You drove me to insanity, Max…" "I wish you could be me for a day, so you have an idea how much I love you…" Cosette's words kept replaying in Maxen's head for hours. He knew what she was saying was from a dream she had.…-

"Welcome back..." The head butler of the Blac mansion trailed off as Cosette walked past him. His brows furrowed, glancing back to look at Cosette's figure. He shrugged and was about to greet Maxen, but the latter just simply walked past him. Butler George and the servants who came out to welcome the two looked at each other in confusion. Meanwhile, the butler turned around to face the main entrance of the mansion. He cocked his head to the side. Usually, every time Cosette and Maxen arrived home, she…

"My girlfriend ignored me for days, and then another guy will drop her home. Not only that, but it seemed her relationship with this guy was becoming better. On top of that, that person likes you… very much, probably much more than I do. Of course, it wouldn't sit well with me." "It makes me so angry that I had this sudden urge to punch his face when you smiled at him while you ignore me. It drives me crazy. Do you still like me? Or did your feelings lessen because of a misunderstanding? Why are you…

"It's not what you think it is." Maxen felt like his long rope of patience snapped upon hearing what Asher had just said. He slowly looked back at Asher. "It's not what I think it is?" repeated Maxen with a tinge of ridicule. "What do you think I thought it was, Young Master Quinn? Don't make it sound like there's more that had happened; it wouldn't work." "Strange," Asher replied, assessing Maxen's mood. "You're always so composed, but now you're… angry. You reek of jealousy." "Jealousy?" Maxen…

Meanwhile… "Her birthday is coming up in a few months, and she'll be officially a lady. Once that happens, do you think you're the only person who will want her attention?" "Trust me. Not only guys our age will line up for her with customized flowers, exquisite chocolates, and lavish gifts but also those young adults who were looking for a good match." "Don't give those guys any chance. Cosette might be very annoying, but she can be very mature if she wanted to be. She's sure about you, which means…

"This is new." Cosette smacked her lips as she cocked her head to the driver's seat. "I was expecting that your driver is waiting for you somewhere." Asher's lips curled up, eyes fixed on the road. "I didn't want some disturbance. After all, my friend is usually busy, so our time together is precious." "How did you know I wouldn't have a ride?" "Because you always commute." "How did you know that?" Asher took a deliberate pause as he recalled how he knew her patterns. "I studied you." "What?" "I…

"It's not, but this time there's a reward. They approved my resignation." "What?" "I resigned." Asher's smile grew wider. "I told my dad I want to pursue something else and I don't want to be associated with the family business for a while. He only approved it once I closed this international deal, and I did." "Oh…?" Cosette blinked before her chest swelled up with happiness. "Are you going to become a doctor now?" "Huh? How did you know?" "What?" "I didn't think I mention I wanted to become a…

"Where are you?" Cosette furrowed her brows at Asher's question. "Why?" she asked. "I just came from a business trip and I want to see you." He didn't beat around the bush, telling his intention immediately. "Are you free?" "Why would you want to see me when you should go straight home and rest?" Cosette frowned. "Asher Quinn. I told you this many times and I will say it again. You and I —" "There's no chance, right?" he continued, cutting her off. All he heard was Cosette clearing her throat, making…

The girls spent the entire day catching up in Amie's room. Amie had shared everything about her newfound passion, telling them she wanted to pursue arts in the future.

"Wow... this... you did all this?" After another round of crying, full of thanks and apologies, the girls moved on to catch up. Last school year was hectic, and they were all aware that the next school year -- their senior year -- would be twice as hectic as last year. Hence, they also took this time to catch up to enjoy every minute of this summer break. And with that thought in mind, Amie wanted to show them what kept her busy after that incident at the KTV bar. She led the girls to her room, and the…
