Those two days were the weekend. Besides supervising the site at Harmonia Hotel, | went out for dinner with
Melissa. Then Sally called and asked the three of us to eat together.
That afternoon, Yvonne stayed at Sally’s. When she was dropped off at night, she carried a big bag of toys,
including scute silver jewelry. As soon as Yvonne got home, she grabbed scissors and sat in her room
stringing beads.
| knew she was making a gift for Tracy. She was focused on it. When | brought her sfruit, Yvonne seemed a
little guilty
and hid it at first.
Unexpectedly, the beads she was stringing spilled all over the floor halfway through. She shouted in frustration,
“It's your fault, Mom, you're distractingfrom making my bracelet!”
Then she knelt and crawled around picking up beads one by one. | sat nearby, popped a cherry tomato in my
mouth, and asked, “Who's this for? You're working so hard.”
“None of your business,” Yvonne replied, not telling the truth, and quickly told me, “Mom, please go away. Don’t
bother me.”
I had no choice but to leave her room. Inside, it felt like someone stabbedin the heart. | didn’t understand
why Yvonne liked Tracy so much, but resentedas her mother.
‘I must have messed up somewhere. Or maybe that’s just how people are-loving the distant but resenting the
close,’ | thought.
Tracy flattered her easily, and Yvonne was happy. | cared for her day and night and managed her life, but |

Late at night, | lay in bed when my period suddenly started. | went to the bathroom to handle it. When | came

| froze. Then | remembered we had been giving each other the cold shoulder for three days. But | hadn't gone to
apologize to him yet tonight.
Since tomorrow night was going to be Tracy's birthday, I figured that Jared had probably prepared a gift for her.
| turned on my side and saw Jared toss his phone down hard beside him. The next second, he lay down too. “I'm
on my period.” | knew what he was waiting for, so | crushed his hopes right away.
Not long after, Jared got up and closed my bedroom door. Since we couldn't have sex, he left. So he cto my
room just
for that.
The next morning, | noticed Wendy had made sdesserts for breakfast. “Mrs. Holcomb, Mr. Holcomb asked
“Thank you, Wendy,” | said gratefully.
Wendy smiled and said, “Mr. Holcomb really cares about you.”
| didn’t take that seriously. If just asking a maid to cook meant caring, that was pretty cheap care. “Mr. Holcomb
already took Yvonne to class,” Wendy added.
I nodded. It was Monday. After breakfast, | had to head to work. At the office, Tracy said she wanted to treat us to
lunch. She even asked if | was free because it was her birthday and she wanted to gather the higher-ups.
She didn’t have enough status yet to bringalong, so | didn’t go. Not only did I skip it, but | went to the

and asked the kitchen to prepare a special meal for me, my favorite salmon and beef steak.
| sat alone, enjoying my meal, when the door suddenly opened. Jared appeared in front of me. | froze and
thought, ‘Why is
he here?"
Jared asked the kitchen for a knife and fork and sat down. He openly started eating my lunch. “Tracy said it's her
birthday and invited a lot of people. Why didn’t you go?” | asked casually.
“I promised her a dinner tonight, so | didn't go for lunch,” Jared said plainly.
“Oh.” | thought there was no point in asking more. | didn’t think | was more important than Tracy.
“You cwithtonight,” Jared suddenly said.
A cold feeling spread through me.

“I already have plans with friends tonight, so | won't go,” I said coldly.
“That lawyer again?” Jared seemed annoyed with Melissa. “What's the point of you two women eating together
all the time?”
“She’s Melissa, a longtfriend,” | answered seriously.

Jared looked atoddly. Then he said casually, “Friends of the ssex are fine. But opposite sex friends? No.”
“Why not?” | had to stand up for myself.
Jared lookedup and down and said bluntly, “Honestly, any guy trying to get close to you just wants to sleep
with you.”
