A Night with Her Cruel Mate

"What did you do?" Julia asked, her voice loud and trembling. No wonder Terence had mentioned Samuel the other night. 'Turns out Samuel did go to Terence,' she thought.

"Well, I humiliated him for your sake. Most of the people find him exasperating because he is full of himself. He bullied you. Did you expect me to do nothing? I will always stand up for you, no matter what." Samuel fixed his eyes on her.

Not even blinking at all, he added, "He wants me to endorse their product, and I have made it clear that I will never accept their proposal. I already warned him that if he dares to hurt or even touch you again, I will surely go after him.

In my judgment, it’s apparent that Terence is not a good man at all. If you’ll think about it, he may be conspiring with Jean. And the scandal all over the Internet may be cooked up by them."

Thinking about that night, Julia was choked with anger. She couldn’t believe that her misery was all caused by Samuel.

She pushed away that thought. ‘Samuel is doing all these things because he only wants to help me,’ she thought to herself.

However, she didn’t believe Samuel’s speculation on Terence and Jean. She would never believe that the man she loved, and her sister, were the ones who were behind what happened to her.

Terence and Julia were not on speaking terms because of some misunderstanding. But deep down, she still believed that he wouldn’t work with Jean to deal with her. She knew too that her sister would never tell him that the rumors going around were all fake.

"What’s wrong with you?" Eyes focused on Julia, Samuel read her facial expression. He noticed that she didn't look happy at all. "Aren’t you happy? Or at least at ease that I helped you out?" he asked.

"Of course. I’m glad and grateful for your help." Looking down, she lied. "But I am never your responsibility, Samuel. You don’t have to do that for me again." She was uneasily massaging the back of her neck.
