After Harry said that, Helena didn't quite know how to respond.Once they got in the car, Helena kept her head down. She fiddled with her phone and didn't speak since Harry also remained silent."What's the exact location?" Harry asked after driving a short while.Helena quickly looked up and gave him the address.Harry had never been there but had heard the area was packed with partitioned units.The car fell into silence again, and it stayed that way throughout the drive.After a while, Helena felt dizzy from staring at her phone, so she put it away and propped her chin on her hand. She began watching the scenery slip past.When they arrived at her place, Harry politely helped her carry the bags inside.Her room was one of four carved out of a larger apartment. When Harry carried her things into the living room, he noticed a man and a woman sitting on the sofa. Both of them were smoking.The woman's eyes lit up when she saw him.Harry kept a cold expression as he brought th

Jack leaned against the sofa. He fiddled with a stick in his hands."You're not one to enjoy talking behind people's backs," he said after noticing that Harry's attention had already been subtly drawn to Helena.After hearing Jack's comment, Ronny immediately picked up on it.He sized up Harry from head to toe and laughed. "Don't tell me you've taken a liking to her?""Are you crazy? All you think about is romance. I just happened to be there and thought, since Jessie is close with her, I'd give her a ride." Harry rolled his eyes at Ronny."Oh, she didn't know how to get a taxi, so you had to drive her?" Ronny sneered."Believe it or not, it doesn't matter to me," Harry said before walking over to the sofa and sitting down to help Jack peel garlic."What did she do?" Jessie couldn't help but ask.Harry recounted what he had witnessed. "She lives there, fine, but she saw all that going on and turned a blind eye.""Not everyone is as kind-hearted as you. She's living there. Repo

"That won't do. What if you work late and run into trouble?" Jessie said. "Right now, it might seem like money is the most important thing, but if something really happens to you, you'll regret it."Helena couldn't help but fall into thought at her words.She was right. People always took risks lightly until danger actually came."If you're short on cash, I can lend you some. Think of it as an investment. You're in design, right? In the future, when I want new clothes, and you'd be famous by then, just design outfits for me and give me discounts," Jessie said in a serious tone. "You're pretty, you know, and in a place like that, it's easy to get targeted.""Me? Pretty? I've always thought I'm just ordinary." Helena never thought of herself as pretty.Whenever she went out for project talks, the men she dealt with never treated her in a gentlemanly way because of her looks.On the contrary, they often made things difficult for her.Even in the student council, Ken would have thos

Harry was a little annoyed.He was certain he didn't like Helena. On the contrary, he despised her.Five days after the New Year, Harry returned to Rossenville City. Jessie also had to get ready to return to college.She really didn't want to go. Spending the entire winter break stuck with Jack had completely drained her motivation for classes."The college is so close to home. It's basically like going to work. Why are you so reluctant?" Jack teased.Jessie watched him fold the bedding and stepped forward to hug his arm. "Because at home, I can do the things I enjoy. On campus, I can't. If I don't sleep enough at night, I'm exhausted during the day."Jack's breathing sped up after hearing what she said.They had spent the entire winter break together. Now hearing her say that, he was a little reluctant to let her go back to college.But a semester had already passed, and earning her degree was still her dream."What about weekends? We can make up for it then. How does that so

Lucy was left speechless by Rachel's comeback.Rachel walked into the bathroom, and immediately the dorm's atmosphere turned awkward.Jessie didn't say anything to Lucy and just kept busy with her own things.After a while, Rachel still hadn't come out, and Lucy spoke up. "Jessie, I'm sorry. I was just curious, really, I didn't mean anything else.""Curious about the projects on my computer, or my drawings?" Jessie asked calmly."Neither. I said I was just curious about that function on your computer.""Well, you could've just asked me. Do you even know how to code?" Jessie asked."No, I don't. I just told my friend, and my friend bragged that it was easy to figure out. I wanted to see if he could actually hack it," Lucy admitted while looking embarrassed."My computer only has projects and drawings. Even if someone hacked it, it wouldn't do anything, Lucy," Jessie said before turning to look at her.Her gaze was cold and steady.Feeling uneasy, Lucy quickly looked away. "I w
