âShut up!â Anxious about what Carlow might disclose, Karina glared at him and tried to divert the conversation.
âDonât use me as an excuse.
You bought sanitary pads because you have a woman in your place.
â
Carlow nodded, as if agreeing to her claim, and casually said, âWell, itâs true that I bought them for a certain woman, which is you.
â
Truth be told, Karina was the only woman he had ever kissed.
âYouâre not really going to stop fooling around, are you?â Karina retorted with gritted teeth.
Carlow shrugged and told her, âWait here for me.
â
Then he winked at her, put his hands in his pockets, and turned around to leave.
Karina was too annoyed and embarrassed to stop him at getting the sanitary pads from his place.

As she watched his tall figure disappear out the door, she couldnât help but think that he had a lot of similarities to Barlow, not just in appearance.
But she shook off the thought as soon as it popped up in her mind.

She shouldnât develop an attachment to Carlow just because of his similarities to Barlow.
âIsnât he a nice, thoughtful guy?â Haleigh suddenly asked with a smile, having witnessed the undeniable chemistry between the two.
âYou know what he told me, Karina? He said heâd also take care of me when you become a couple.
Donât you like him? If you do, why not give him a chance?â
Haleighâs words took Karina out of her thoughts, and she asked, âDid he really say that?â
âUh-huh,â Haleigh replied briefly.
Walking up to Haleigh, Karina held her arm and said seriously, âArenât you only seeing it like that because he looks like Barlow? Please donât.
People arenât trustworthy nowadays, Haleigh.
What if heâs a criminal or a scammer who plans to extort money from us?â
Amused, Haleigh let out a chuckle and shook her head.
âIâm a pretty good judge of character, Karina.
Trust me, Carlow is nothing Like that.
Heâs nice and handsome.
â
Karina snorted.
âJust because someone looks decent or handsome, doesnât mean theyâre trustworthy.
Haleigh, listen to me.
Itâs not that weâre judging him, but we must be careful.
Donât trust him with everything.
And please, donât ask him over for dinner next time, okay?â
Although Haleigh didnât agree with Karina, she didnât express her objection.
âFine.
Letâs keep an eye on him, then.
â
âThereâs no need for that too.
I donât like him, and thereâs nothing going on between us, so weâll keep our distance from him from now on, okay?â Karina urged.
âAre you sure?â Haleigh asked, her brow arched.
Knowing what Haleigh was implying, Karina sighed, âWhy are you giving me that look? Of course, Iâm sure.
â
âOf course, you do.
â
âThen why are you smiling like that?â Karina frowned.
âWhatâs wrong with my smile?â
