Pursuing Her

“Greta, I don't think I like you. I only liked the version of you in my imagination. Perhaps it was because everyone around me was having a relationship, which made me think it was okay to have a relationship with a university student. However, I don't seem to have feelings for you anymore, so stop looking for me.”

Charles spoke in an extremely cold-hearted manner.

That was just the kind of person he was. He could be in a relationship when he wanted to. At the same time, he wouldn't hesitate to end the relationship when he was no longer interested.

Greta was at a loss for words.

It hadn't even been two weeks since they started dating.

Is he bored with me already?

“Did I do something wrong? You can tell me and I will change. I will make sure you'll be satisfied. I really like you. I don't want to break up with you.”

Droplets of tears dripped down her face as she spoke.

How did it come to this?

Greta had been full of joy when she came over.

Yet, in the blink of an eye, she got to experience just how ruthless Charles could be.

He took out a card and tucked it into her palm.

“If this is what you want, I'll give it to you. Still, I have already told you clearly that I no longer like you, so don't come looking for me in the future.”

He wouldn't waste a single moment with someone he didn't like.

Is he insulting me? What should I do? Greta didn't want to lose the card in her hand.

It was the last thing she got from him. If she lost it, she would have nothing.

Charles opened the car door.

“Did you hear me clearly?”

Greta felt exceedingly bitter.

“You clearly like me a lot, no? Did Sophie say something to you? Didn't I tell you? What she said wasn't true. What happened between him and me was just a tiny misunderstanding. He's prejudiced against me.”

It must be Sophie. Otherwise, he wouldn't suddenly want a breakup when everything was going so well.

Charles stared at her in silence.

Does she not understand what I said? What does this have anything to do with Sophie?

“Didn't I tell you? I just don't like you anymore. It's that simple. Besides, Sophie would never say anything behind others' backs!”

He could sense that none of the others liked Greta.

However, it was clear to him now that the others weren't wrong. It was his own foolishness.

“Don't bother Sophie because of this. If you do, Mr. Tristan won't forgive you!” Doesn't she know her place? The audacity of her to blame Sophie for the breakup.

Charles left, leaving Greta standing alone.

Greta had thought she could enter the International Medical Association through Charles.

Little did she expect him to breakup with her.

She stood alone, shivering amid the ice-cold winds. How did things turn out like this?

After the last class in the afternoon, while Sandra and Simon were still doing some analysis in the laboratory, Sophie walked out alone, as she still had to look for Barney and the others to discuss matters with the recruitment.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked out, she bumped into Greta, who had her makeup ruined. She looked horrific as if she was a ghost.

For someone like Sophie, who had seen all kinds of things, she was unsurprisingly calm when she saw Greta in her sorry state.

“Stop right there, Sophie!”

Greta had stood up and stopped Sophie when she saw her leaving.

“Greta, do we have some sort of misunderstanding? Do I look like a good-tempered person to you? Is that why you have the audacity to get in my way again and again?”

Indeed, Greta feared Sophie.

However, she was still resentful and felt especially aggrieved.

“Sophie, I know you don't like me, but I finally got together with Charles. Can you leave me alone and stop spouting nonsense in front of him?”

Sophie frowned.

Charles? Did I say anything to Charles?

“I don't know what you're talking about. In fact, I am busy right now, and I don't have the time to entertain you. You should clean up yourself and avoid scaring other people.” Sophie wasn't frightened by her appearance only because she was brave.

However, the same couldn't be said for the other students.

“Sophie, I'm aware of the many mistakes I've made. I shouldn't have provoked you. What I did was wrong, but I really can't live without Charles. Can you—”

Sophie was rendered speechless.

“What does your relationship with Charles have anything to do with me? Stop bothering me.”

Charles is a total playboy, and many have fallen before him. However, Greta is delusional enough to consider herself an exception. She believes she's the love of his life and that he will change because of her. Now that things have come to this point, there's nothing anyone can do. Besides, they aren't compatible in the first place. Even now that she came crying to me, I won't sympathize with her.

Sophie walked away, and Greta was left standing alone, crying even more miserably.

Sophie was truly apathetic.

They were classmates, after all, but she couldn't care less about her situation.

She was indeed a haughty girl.

Sophie walked out and saw Tristan's car parked outside. Before she got to the car, Tristan got out of the car and opened the door for her.

“Why did you come so early!”
