They way his eyes looked right now.
âSebastian,â Rosalie said, looking at with crystal clear eyes. â Weâre good friends. You helped me when I was at my lowest, and Iâm just returning the favor. I donât mean anything else, so please donât overthink things.â
Sebastian felt as though someone splashed an entire bucket of cold water over his head. He didnât know if Rosalie was deliberately
reminding him not to overthink things, or if it was just a casual
remark on her part.
Whatever it was, Rosalie had only one objective in mindâwhich was to stop him from overthinking. They were just friends, and she was just showing concern for a friend.
A friendâ¦
Sebastianâs mind was in a mess.
At the same time, a sharp knife was slicing through heart.
He knew they were just friendsâhe knew that all along. That was why he had been so cautious. However, it didnât stop his heart from breaking when Rosalie pointed it out so incisively and matterâofâfactly.
Rosalie was still feeling uneasy, and was about to tell Sebastian that she was leaving when he said, âOf course.
Sebastian shot her a charming smile.
âWe are friends, I didnât think you meant anything else. Iâm just very glad to have you as a friend.â
Rosalie thought his smile looked very forced.

tesalle smiled. âYes, Iâm very glad about that too
To lighten the mood, she changed the subject. She surveyed Sebastian from head to toe, and said. âYouâre dressed very
comfortably for work today.
Sebastian looked down at his outfit, and gave her an awkward smile. These clothes were what he usually wore at home, and not in the
office. Circumstances were special today.
âSometimes, I find wearing a suit too solemn. I thought a change in style would be good.â
âYour outfit today looks great, too. With such a good figure, you look good wearing anything.â
âIs that so? is my figure really that good?â
Rosalieâs praises made fireworks light up in Sebastianâs heart.
Everyone was vain to a certain extent. That was true even for dignified and classy people.
âYeah,â she said, nodding. âIâm sure you work out. You have the height, the figure, the looks, the character, the statusâ¦the works. Youâre living proof that the heavens play favorites.â
âRose, you really know how to crack a joke.â

âIâm not joking, Iâm being serious. Iâm sure many women fancy you. To be honest, I didnât believe that you didnât have a girlfriend.â
âI really donât,â Sebastian explained anxiously, for fear that she might get the wrong idea. âIâm still single right now.
âThatâs not too bad. Being single can make you carefree.â
Not having a love interest was certainly better than loving someone whom you canât be with. The pain of unrequited love was too much.
It felt so suffocating that sometimes, even breathing hurt. Every second and every minute felt like impending death by drowning. The entire world feel gray and depressing.
Tears were her only companion.
â¦. Up until she had no more to shed.
The boneâpiercing pain seemed endless, incapacitating her so much that she didnât even have the energy to wish the pain away and simply let herself wallow in the misery.
