I arrived at the office later that day around 4 PM, still in the parking lot so I could call Harper. I wanted to talk to her before going inside, so I dialed her number and she picked up in a split second.

“Hey, babe,” she said from the other end of the line.

“Damn, you must have been staring at the phone because you missed me so much.” I teased her “That’s the only way to explain how you picked up so quickly.”

I expected her to laugh and tell me to shut up or something in a playful way, but she didn’t.

‘Actually, I was just about to call you,” she said with nervousness in her voice.

‘Is everything okay?” I asked as I unbucked my seatbelt and checked myself out in the mirror.

‘There’s something I need to tell you.”

‘What’s up?”

She went on to tell me the conversation she had with Anna. I understood her clearly, but I just couldn’t understand why ne needed to let me know.

‘You’re making it sound like you don’t have money to help her. Did you forget about the card I gave to you?”

She forced a chuckle. “I still have it but come on, it’s not mine.”

Oh, I must have missed that part,” I said jokingly while finally unbuckling my seatbelt.

‘Wait… what?”

sighed with amusement. “We’ve been over this before. That card is yours.”

‘What? But it’s worth-”

‘So what? It’s yours.”

Babe, we’re not talking about a million dollars here.”

‘Or even $500,000.000” I added casually Tm actually glad Anna’s making this decision Shey leang hin

Chapter 227

I laughed at how quick she was to explain herself

“What?” she asked, completely clueless as to why I was laughing.

“$50,000? That’s it?”

She scoffed. “But $50,000 is a lot of- you know what? Forget it.” She chuckled, like she had just realised who she was talkin to. “I’m glad you know because you’ll get alerts whenever the card is used.”

“Hey, even if I were to get those alerts ten times in a day, I wouldn’t mind if it’s you.”

“Thank you so much.” I could hear the relief in her voice and could imagine her smiling at that moment

“Anything for you.”

Her next words sounded a little distant, like she had just put her phone down. “So, how did it go with your dad? How mad was he?”

My amusement faded slightly as I stepped out of the car. “He wasn’t mad at all.”

“Really?”

“Yeah…he wanted to talk about Tiffany, just as I expected. So, the video shoot is tomorrow evening at 6 with The Midnight Echo. Better get your friends ready by then.”

“Hey,” she said softly.

I knew what she was trying to get at by using that tone and it already bothered me so much that I slammed the door a littl too hard. I didn’t even give her the chance to keep talking about it.

“They’ll still use some of the footage from your birthday party, but they just thought it would be fun to mix it up

“You don’t have to do this, you know.”

There it was, that soft tone again like she was feeling bad for me.

“Do what?” I asked like I already didn’t know, my grip tightening on my phone as I leaned against ‘Tv: 1)

“You don’t have to skip over the topic about Tiffany whenever it makes you uncomfortable

“And you really need to stop doing that.” My expression hardened like she could see me

“Do what?”

“Exactly what you’ve been doing What the fuck are you looking for coulht help to raise my vonar pom couldn’t take it anymore

“Hello? Are you there?” I lowered my voice with a heavy breath.

“I’m still here.”

THE

Her voice was so gentle that I instantly felt awful. The last thing I wanted was to make her cry. I hated it the last time it happened while we were on our trip and I ignored her because she’d made me mad.

“I’m sorry,” I said quickly. “I shouldn’t have snapped at you like that.”

“No. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have kept bringing her up. I thought I was being helpful, but I was just getting on your nerve

I heard that crack in her voice and it made me shut my eyes, wishing I could turn back time and not snap at her

“It’s okay, really,” I assured her.

She took a deep breath, like she was trying to compose herself and when she spoke again, the crack in her voice was go

From now on, when it comes to Tiffany and her not being your sister, I’ll get off your dick.”

I chuckled because I wasn’t expecting that. “Just in this context, I like the sound of that.”
