When There Is Nothing Left But Love

I frowned slightly and asked, “Why did you think of working in the Imperial Hotel?”

She lowered her head and explained, “I came here alone. All I can do was to fill up my stomach so I can live. I’ve said it before.

Looking at the pathetic man in front of me, I smirked. “I had always been nice to others, and I tried to help those in need.
