I’m Someone Else

Even after spending a few moments next to Thomas, Veronica hadn’t recognized him, the boy whom she decided to accept into the university.

It wasn’t her fault, though. After all, it was eight years ago. Thomas’ appearance and temperament changed a lot since then.

Back then, he was just a teen. But now, the naivety in him had vanished. Instead, there was determination in his eyes.

Besides, she had only seen him twice. He never left a strong impression on her during their encounters.

“You’re welcome.” Thomas waved a hand in dismissal before turning away to watch the scenery outside the window. He was grateful that she couldn’t recognize him, or else it would be awkward.

Once the cab stopped outside the auction house, he tried to carry her out of the car.

“It’s okay. I’m feeling better now.” Victoria stubbornly refused his kind gesture and got out of the cab on her own.

“You’re injured. Let’s go to my place. I’ll give you a checkup.”

After that, he dragged her into his Maserati without waiting for her reply.

She cried out in surprise when she felt a tug on her body. The next second, she was sitting in the passenger’s seat. She scanned her surroundings indifferently. After all, she was once the daughter of the Pearson Family. She was familiar with luxury cars.
