She muted her phone, then glanced at Duane. She started to type a reply, saying, “Why
can’t you discuss it over the phone? What if someone photographs us…”
Bradley countered, “Are we never going to meet again just because of a potential
photograph? Don’t worry, it won’t affect my work.”
“Alright,” Sabrina agreed.
Sabrina stashed her phone and concocted a pretext to exit the chamber.
After coming out of the bathroom, she positioned herself near the fire exit, waiting
patiently.
After a brief interval, Bradley approached her.
“Have you been waiting long?”
“No, not at all. What did you want to talk about?” Sabrina inquired.
Bradley gazed at Sabrina, his expression a tangle of emotions, his eyes harboring
profound affection.
Sabrina’s heart fluttered as she discerned the intensity in his gaze.

Since she’d turned down Bradley’s advances at the restaurant during their previous
encounter, their contact had grown sparse. Sabrina earnestly hoped Bradley could regard
her as a friend.
She probed, “What’s on your mind?”
Bradley remained silent for a few moments before speaking in a hushed tone.
“You… have you reconciled with Tyrone? I saw you getting into his car yesterday.”
Sabrina was taken aback by Bradley’s revelation.
She hesitated, wrestling with her inner turmoil.
She hadn’t reconciled with Tyrone, but she couldn’t deny they were somewhat close.
However, it had been against her will. They were far from being back together.
Observing Sabrina’s silence, Bradley felt a pang of sadness, as though a gust of cold wind
had swept through his heart.
He suppressed the bitterness and frustration brewing within and made an effort to steady
himself.
“I don’t know what transpired between you two, but have you forgotten that he cheated
on you? There’s no guarantee he won’t do it again in the future. I don’t understand why
you…”
His words trailed off, replaced by a resigned sigh. He didn’t expect this.
Seeing that Bradley had misunderstood her, Sabrina chose not to defend herself. Perhaps
this was an opportunity to make Bradley relinquish his affections.
After a brief pause, she responded, “No one can predict the future.”
“But…” Bradley started. His emotions began to surge with each passing moment. He let
out an exasperated sigh and gazed at her with disappointment.
“Why do you like him? Aren’t you afraid he’ll hurt you again? Sabrina, I hope you can
address it rationally, and weigh the pros and cons. Don’t let emotions…”
“Bradley, I understand you’re Looking out for me. I’ve considered everything you’ve said.
I’ve thought long and hard before reconciling with Tyrone. I hope you can understand. .
Sabrina started.
“I don’t understand!” Bradley cut her off bitterly. He locked his gaze on her and continued,

Tyrone had an affair with someone else while he was with you and I’m the one who’s not
good enough?”
Sabrina shook her head gently and replied, “It’s not a competition.
It’s about love. Sometimes, feelings are irrational. Besides, there’s nothing between
Tyrone and Galilea. Bradley, please understand that even without Tyrone, we can’t be
together. I value our friendship and sincerely hope you can move on.”
Bradley forced a bitter smile and shook his head.
“Forgetting someone isn’t as simple as you make it sound. Just as you can’t forget Tyrone,
I can’t forget you either. You said you wouldn’t remarry Tyrone. I thought that if I stayed by
your side, you might accept me someday…”
Sabrina interjected, “I’ve shared my perspective with you. Bradley, I’ll talk to your agent
during our next work engagement. I’ll give you some time to cool down. If you continue
like this, then… I might have no choice but to let go of our friendship.”
Then she turned around and was about to leave.
“Sabrina!” Bradley’s voice, laced with sadness, broke the silence as he grasped her wrist.
“Are you truly this heartless?”
