I’m Someone Else

A sweet smile curled Olivia’s lip. She was delighted that Thomas agreed to go with her. Ooh, a shopping date, huh? This is delightful.

At the same time, Harrison was at his residence, looking at Ophelie solemnly. “Are you sure you’re not making this up?”

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.

Ophelie pouted. “Well, I guess her love is unrequited though. Thomas doesn’t realize Olivia likes him. He’s denser than a brick. She made it obvious enough, but he wouldn’t even respond to her.” Ophelie didn’t like that part about Thomas. Are you an idiot, Thomas? How can you even miss that many hints?

surprised. What? That came out of nowhere. This thing should have nothing to do with the Denvers. Are they one of the Six Greatest Families? Thomas didn’t know much about the so-called greatest families. Quincy had told him that the Pearsons and Xalmars were part of this circle. Thomas had no idea which other families were
