Harley‘s POV
“You had a crush on me? When? 1 have no idea.” I was telling the truth. Catherine had been the center of my attention, so, I was a little dazed at Gina‘s words.
Status didn‘t matter to me. I didn‘t like Catherine because she was once the daughter of Alpha.
“I‘m sure you know it, Harley. You‘re just too shy to admit it, right? But I‘m serious. I had a crush on you five years ago. Back then, you were close to Catherine, so I never dared to tell you,” Gina said with a serious face.
“Gina, why are you saying all this? It‘s water under the bridge now. Let it go.” I calmed down in a short while.
I stayed by Gina‘s side for the last five years through all the ups and downs. However, I only thought of her as my friend and colleague. That was all. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“No, I don‘t want to let it go. Harley, you know that there are some sponsors in Hollywood with more resources. I‘ve decided to find myself a rich sponsor. But before that, I hope that you will be my first man. Those men don‘t deserve my first time.” As Gina spoke, her lips were already close to my ear.
I jumped in fright and pushed her away with a look of disbelief. “Gina, what are you doing? Do you have any idea what you just said?”
Gina immediately stood up from the ground and walked towards me step by step, being flirtatious deliberately.
She said, “Of course. Harley, I suddenly realize that you are the best to me when I am the most down and out. So, this isn‘t a trade. Besides, don‘t you ever want me? I don‘t think so. I am the woman in all men‘s dreams. And I am the daughter of Alpha. Don‘t you want to be the future Alpha? You thought about it as well, didn‘t you?”
Gina shocked me today. Her words were bold and passionate. I couldn‘t believe these words came from Gina‘s mouth.
“No, Gina. You got me wrong. I have never thought that way. Indeed, you are very beautiful, and countless men are crazy for you. But all I have for you is just admiration and respect. So, please stop saying these. We are just companions from the same pack I have always thought of you as my friend,” I explained in a hurry and stated clearly.
Hearing this, Gina stopped and stared at me with a sad and ashamed expression. “What did you say? Harley, how could you never have any feelings for me? We have lived and worked together for so many years. Do you really have no feelings for me at all?”
“Gina, you took it the wrong way. I watched you thrive step by step for the past five years. In some ways, you are really outstanding, but... I‘m sorry. I really don‘t have that kind of crush on you. And you are not my mate.” I didn‘t want to hurt her pride, but I had to make it clear so she wouldn‘t get the wrong idea again.
Gina suddenly picked up a file next to her and threw it at me. “Even you are leaving me? You ... You bastard! You know better than anyone how much I have invested in you these five years. I never went to an event without you. Otherwise, who would know that there was a handsome man by my side? You are kind of famous now, and you suddenly turn your back on me? How can you be so heartless? Fine! Go! Go to your Catherine! See if she still likes you! She has already been sleeping with Blake. She is nastier than me.”
I was shocked by her words, and then I was furious. “Gina, you can curse me, but I won‘t allow you to speak ill of Catherine. She‘s nowhere near the woman in your mouth. She does nothing of that sort.”
“Is that so? Would you still defend her if you knew she was the one who got me into this today? She slept with King Blake five years ago, and she was not King Blake‘s mate. I was kind enough not to tell you. Now that she’s got another chance, do you think she‘s going to let it slide? King Blake said that he was interested in her last time. Do you think he will let her go? Can she resist the Lycan King‘s charm? He is rich, and he also has the Lycan aura that can make every werewolf surrender!” Gina was truly furious, so, every word she said was extremely unpleasant and harsh.
Her words hit me hard. I even felt like I was about to lose my balance. I panted and glared at Gina. “That‘s bullshit, i don‘t buy it at all. Stop talking nonsense.”
“Fine! Go ahead and find her. See if she‘ll talk to you at all,” Gina mocked.
My heart ached so much. I turned around and left, ignoring Gina.
“If... If you leave, don‘t ever come back. I never want to see you again!” Gina didn‘t expect that I would leave her for Catherine in the end. She screamed, but she still failed to keep me.
“Just go! All of you, just go! I don‘t need you! I can still get back on my feet! Wait and see! I will make you regret leaving me!” Gina had gone crazy.
She frantically swept everything in the room to the ground, her eyes red, tears streaming down her face.
She shouted at the other employees. They were utterly frightened, and they ran out of the studio.
I shook my head and left the studio as well. With her like this, I couldn‘t stick by her side.
After I left the studio, I sat in the car and was devastated.
Then, I plucked up my courage and dialed Catherine‘s number.
“Harley?” A familiar, pleasant female voice sounded from the other end.
“Cathy, did you find a job? Where do you work? Would you like to have lunch together?” I was also in a mess. I didn‘t know what was waiting for me after all these years. But now, I just wanted to hear her voice. It wouldn‘t matter even if she turned me down.
“I have found a job. Let‘s have lunch together. My treat!” Catherine smiled.
“OK. Send me the address. I‘ll be there right now!” I felt better after hearing her words.
