The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2580

Balfour was simply waiting for his driver when he spotted a girl he mistook for Victoria.

Victoria was in his class. When he saw her standing alone and crying pitifully, he felt compelled to offer her his handkerchief.

He had a good impression of the hardworking Victoria and hadn’t had such patience in a while.

“You want to be the best? Then give it your all. If you don’t have the chops or the will, then don’t sweat it. Life’s a show you put on for yourself, not for anyone else’s eyes.”

Mara repeated the words, stunned, “Yeah, live for myself.”

Just then, Balfour’s ride pulled up. He nodded at her, “I gotta leave. You should head home.”

Mara watched as Balfour drove away.

Balfour was unaware of the profound impact his random act of kindness would have on another’s life.

to her chest, she took a few hurried steps to follow, but the car was gone in a flash, disappearing before she could even catch the license plate number. Balfour’s appearance was dreamlike, but his words had wrought seismic shifts in Mara’s life.
