A lack of confidence in love only proved that one's affection was incredibly humble.
Until this moment, it finally dawned on her: in the relationship between Sebastian and Riley, it wasn't Riley standing on her tiptoes trying to reach Sebastian. It was Sebastian, carrying a heart full of deep, desperate devotion, loving Riley from a place of sheer humility.
There was no room for her to insert herself into a love like that.
Heh.
She let out a soft chuckle.
Sebastian cast Macy a puzzled look. "What are you laughing at?"
"Laughing at my own hubris."
Sebastian arched a brow in confusion. "Meaning?"
The anticipation and hope in Macy's eyes completely vanished, leaving her looking surprisingly relaxed. "I've decided to give up on you. From this moment on, our relationship is strictly a business partnership."
Sebastian's expression remained indifferent, his tone cool. "It was only ever a partnership."
He really didn't sugarcoat things, did he? "I actually had designs on you before, but now I know I can't compete with her."
"She doesn't need to compete."
Macy was speechless. Did he have to be so blunt?
It made her feel entirely devoid of charm.
She finally understood why so many women coveted Sebastian but didn't dare approach him.
Because not only did the man exude an intimidating, unapproachable aura, but his tongue was lethal. He didn't spare anyone's feelings.

Update please...
Its better when the female lead is strong. Nothing worse then reading a story with a weak main character...
