Sheena lifted her lips into a bitter smile. “I won't bother you anymore. I'll leave now.” She said and left.
“Sheen.” There was a slight change of emotions on Carle's face.

Out of the four of them, Rachel was probably the only one without all these complications. Carle closed his eyes. He was envious of how carefree her life must be.
Sheena smiled sadly and said sharply, “If it wasn’t for what happened, | wouldn't have said all these. You don't have to feel sorry for me, Carle. I'm fine. However, you should think about your relationship with Liz. Don’t make it hard for her and yourself.” This time, she did not hesitate.

He sat casually, with one leg crossed over the other. He was holding a cigarette in his right hand, and when he dipped his fingers slightly, ashes would fall into the ashtray beneath. Brandon was a very good-looking man, especially with those mesmerizing onyx eyes. It attracted a lot of people. This bar was full of regulars, and the women that frequented this place knew he wasn't easy to seduce.
Elisa walked over slowly and under the gaze of everyone around. She calmly sat opposite him.

“I can’t tell you out here. How about we go in?” Elisa sized him up.
Brandon swept her an indifferent glance, stood up, and walked in. Elisa quickly followed.
The people around them were all perplexed.
“Wasn't she the woman from before?!” A red-headed woman exclaimed.
