Ophelie nodded. “I would never joke about something like this.”

Harrison inhaled sharply. If that’s the case, then this is bad. “You might be reading into it too much, Ophelie,” he said, hoping that Ophelie was just reading too much into it.

Ophelie shook her head. Confidently, she said, “No. I grew up with her, and I know her very well. I am very sure that she’s fallen for Thomas, and it’s very obvious. Everyone can see that, not just me.”

A frown furrowed Harrison’s brow. This is bad. Olivia can’t get into a relationship. She still carries the future of the Pearson Family on her back. She and Thomas are still young. If one thing leads to another and she loses her innocence, it’s going to be a disaster. The whole city’s going to be plunged into turmoil.
