MasukHearing Megan keep putting herself down made Aurora feel deeply uncomfortable.“What nonsense are you talking about? That’s his business. What does it have to do with you?“And I already said it clearly just now. He’s him and you’re you. The two of you can’t be compared.”Megan suddenly shouted loudly.“But I can’t get past it in my heart.”Megan pressed a hand to her chest, tears filling her eyes.“Ever since I realized how I feel about him, I’ve been living in torment.“I know what I’m doing feels wrong, but I can’t control my heart. I keep finding myself drawn closer to him.”Megan stood up and continued speaking as if to herself.“Do you know how it felt when I saw him lying in the hospital bed after the accident?“And then there were his parents. The two of them cried every day, staying by his bedside. Seeing that made me feel even worse.“From that moment on, I knew what I wanted to protect him. I didn’t want to see him and his family suffer like that.”Aurora wanted to comfort M
“What exactly happened? Why are you so upset?”Hearing Aurora’s words only made Megan feel worse.At first Megan kept sobbing. After she had finally cried it out, she lifted her head and looked at Aurora.“Didn’t I tell you before? I said I wasn’t sure whether he likes me or not. That part is true. I wasn’t lying to you.”“And then? Why does that make you this upset?”Aurora’s eyes were filled with concern.She knew roughly what Megan was going through, but would Megan really cry this hard over a man?Aurora had never quite understood that part.Hearing Aurora’s question made Megan feel even more miserable.“Aurora, you should be able to guess who I like, right?”Aurora fell silent for a moment.Her grip on Megan’s hand tightened slightly.She had to admit that she had already guessed.She just had not had anything that truly confirmed it yet.“I don’t know if what I’m thinking is right.”After standing there for a long moment, Aurora finally said that.Megan seemed to understand her u
Hearing this, Megan quickly waved her hands.“No, that’s not what I meant.”“I just think Lucas goes too far sometimes. Haven’t you noticed that he deliberately provokes me now and then?”Aurora thought about it carefully and realized Megan might actually be right.“Even if he’s provoking you on purpose, I still think it’s not really a solution for you to stay single like this.”Aurora looked steadily at Megan.“So I was just thinking of helping you find someone. That way you won’t feel lonely. And if you really do have someone you like, you can tell me. If there’s anything I can help with, I’ll definitely help you.”Megan opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she stopped herself.“It’s nothing. I’ll talk about it another time.”Seeing Megan like this, Aurora began to form a guess in her mind, but she did not dare say it out loud.What if Megan became upset? Wouldn’t that affect their friendship?“Megan, I don’t ask for anything else. I just hope that if you really do
It was also because Megan was worried about Aurora’s safety, while Aurora was equally worried about hers.So, the two of them chose to stay in the same room.The moment they entered the room, Megan still could not hold it in.She spoke first.“Aurora, are you still angry with me?”Aurora froze in place.She did not know what to say.In truth, there was a reason she had not spoken to Megan during the entire trip.To put it another way, she did not know how to talk to Megan about who she actually liked.More importantly, even though they had grown up together as close friends, they should still have their own private lives. They should not remain tied to each other all the time.“I’m not angry with you.”Aurora thought for a moment before finally saying it.After all, what could she possibly be angry about between the two of them?Besides, they were best friends. If something happened, they could simply talk it through.So why keep it bottled up?But Megan did not believe Aurora’s words.
“I didn’t expect your reaction to be this strong, so I got curious. Do you really have someone you like?”Megan’s gaze flickered away, not daring to look Aurora in the eyes.“How could I like someone? I’m with you every day. Even if I did, there’s no way I’d like him more than you.”Megan refuted instinctively.But Aurora felt that something about those words was not quite right.“Being with me is one thing, but I think you should also have your own space.”Aurora said, “I don’t want you tying everything in your life to me. You should have your own life too—that’s what matters.”Megan’s eyes flickered.She clenched her fists tightly, not knowing what to say for a moment.She suddenly realized that she did seem to be hiding something from Aurora, yet she had no idea how to tell her.And even Megan herself did not know exactly what she felt about that man. They should be considered friends, right?Thinking of this, Megan’s gaze dimmed slightly.Seeing this, Aurora did not know what to sa
Megan pouted, feeling a little dissatisfied.Aurora let out a helpless sigh.“It’s not that—I just don’t understand why your reaction is so big. I was only saying it casually.“Besides, didn’t you say I’m always showing off my relationship in front of you? I just thought I’d introduce someone to you. When the time comes, you two can show off in front of me, and I definitely won’t say a word.”Hearing Aurora’s words, Megan parted her lips slightly. She thought about it for a long time, but in the end, she still said nothing.“Forget it. I can’t explain it to you.”After throwing out that sentence, Megan turned her back to Aurora and leaned against the seat to rest.Aurora felt completely puzzled.If earlier she had only suspected that Megan’s behavior was a little strange, now she was certain that something was definitely off.Megan had never ignored her like this before.And after knowing Megan for so many years, Aurora could usually guess what was going on.Now that Megan’s reaction w
“What is it you want to say?”Aurora looked at Grace, feigning confusion.Just as Grace opened her mouth to speak, Aurora cut her off.“I know already. You’re furious because you couldn’t get this project, so you came running to me, trying to snatch it back, isn’t that right?” Aurora struck first.
The black-clad reporter finally snapped out of it. He hastily gathered his things and bolted from the scene.As soon as he left, the crowd broke into applause for Aurora.Voices rose all around, overlapping one another.“Who would’ve thought—Miss Walton really has such foresight.”“That’s right. If
With Ian sitting beside her, steady and seasoned from years of experience, most candidates naturally assumed he was the one in charge. But this girl had looked straight at Aurora and called her “boss.” She hadn’t second-guessed for a moment.Aurora wasn’t foolish—she knew instantly that Hannah had
Those words made Megan’s face flare bright red.She shot a glare at Lucas. “Lucas, what nonsense are you spouting?”“Am I wrong? Even you probably didn’t realize how quickly you rushed over just now.”Flustered, Megan hurried back to Aurora’s side, hiding behind her. “Don’t talk nonsense. I only see
