In Love, Never Say Never

Rebecca lowered her tone, but the coldness in her voice was unmistakable. “Your ability to stick your nose into others’ business has gotten even better. You should really find yourself a new hobby.”

Emery shrugged her shoulders. Not really angered, she retorted, “How I carry out my business is none of your business.”

“If that’s the case, just mind your own business and shut your mouth in the future,” Rebecca retaliated with an icy glare.

The two of them were not fighting, but their rapid verbal exchange was not exactly comfortable for the people around them. In fact, it was quite childish.

I lightly tugged on Emery’s sleeve, reminding her not to go overboard.

She pursed her lips. Without another word, she turned on her heels and marched into a jewelry shop away from the two of them. As a rule of thumb, nothing works better than retail therapy after an unpleasant encounter.

I gave the two familiar faces one last stare and took my leave as well.

When I passed by Rebecca, she grabbed my arm and stopped me in my tracks. “I will not give up, and I have no intention of giving up. Mark my words, Scarlett. If I cannot have him, you will not have him either.”

I couldn’t help but take back my earlier compliment, for I had overestimated her. Giving her a sideways glare, I raised an eyebrow and countered her in a challenging tone. “Ashton is not an item. He will not simply fall into your arms just because you want him to. He is a person. He has never, and will never love you. If you want to crush me, then bring it on. But if you plan to ruin him, I think you are digging your own grave. Considering everything you have now is given to you by him, including this man beside you; ruining him would only mean ruining yourself.”

I did not fully understand the friendship between Ashton, Joe, and Jared, but I did know that it meant something to the three of them. If Rebecca were to try anything on Ashton, I suppose Joe and Jared would not turn a blind eye to it.
