“Thank you, Mr. Upton, you’re so kind.”
All the girls, except Phoebe, nodded shyly, their fondness for him skyrocketing instantly.

“Sheena, it’s nice to finally have a private chat with you,” Colin said, trying to catch up.
Sheena ignored him completely, walking even faster.

“Sheena, I swear this is the last time. I just can’t accept it. Even if you’re determined to reject me, you should givea reasonable explanation.”
“I admit I might not be as influential as Elliot, but where am I lacking compared to him in character and family background? Why did you choose him overafter your divorce?”
Sheena disliked this persistent behavior, especially from Colin, with whom she had talked many
times before.
Today, she decided to make him give up for good.
“Colin, I don’t think there’s any aspect where you can surpass Elliot. Moreover, I don’t love you! You don’t loveeither!”
“You know it very well. Your feelings forstem from childhood obsession and familiarity. You’re fooling yourself. Even without Elliot, we could never be partners. If you keep pesteringlike this, we can’t even be friends anymore.”

“Ms. Lawson, Mr. Jenkins was looking for you everywhere. It seems like he has something urgent to discuss. Please cwith me!”
