Natalie’s words rendered Laney speechless.She was used to dealing with people straightforwardly with force, but Natalie’s outright coldness made her flustered and helpless.

Laney would’ve preferred it if Natalie beat her to vent her anger rather than cut off their friendship.

“Don’t act like we’re strangers, Natalie…” Laney forced a smile.

“If it weren’t for Mr.Larson, you and I would have been strangers, Miss Garcia,”

Natalie retorted coldly.

“Okay.It’s true that Mr.Larson hired me to protect you, and it’s true that I’ve been lying to you.For that, I’m sorry,”

Laney apologized right away.

Natalie’s anger was unsettling; it made her realize just how terrible it was when a usually gentle and nice person got mad.Natalie nodded but didn’t say anything else.

“Sorry, I just need some time to calm down,” Natalie said with a sigh after a while.She didn’t want to talk to Laney anymore, so she started to walk past her.

“Wait!” Laney stopped Natalie, and then quickly lowered her head.

“I’m sorry, okay? My contract said that I couldn’t reveal my identity nor could I reveal Mr.Larson’s.I couldn’t violate the terms.”

Natalie put on a calm smile, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes.

“I know you were just doing your job.I just feel like I had been such a fool for believing you were my friend ever since you saved me.Miss Garcia, I’ve never had a real friend since I was a child, so when you treated me well, I couldn’t help but believe that you had considered me as a friend, too.”
