Chapter 36
Merelyn, I..”
“Just stop and follow me.” Meredith dragged him off the stage, passed through the crowd, and headed toward backstage.
The clueless customers saw how the both of them left the hall hand in hand and assumed that Meredith was simply. shy from the sudden confession and started cheering for them.
Once they reached backstage, Zade handed the bouquet to Meredith and beamed, “Merelyn, these are your favorite flowers, tulips. I…” . Before Zade could finish his sentence, Meredith took the bouquet from his hand and put it aside. She then walked him toward the backdoor. “Zade Brooks, leave right now! Hurry up!”
“What’s wrong? Why are you rushing me out? Zya told me that you only had two shows today
“I said leave, don’t you hear me?!” Meredith sounded as if she was about to cry. Zade thought that Meredith was only acting this way simply because she could not reciprocate his feelings.
“Merelyn, it’s okay if you can’t accept me now. I’ll wait until the day you’re willing to accept me.”
“Zade, didn’t you always ask me how I got the wounds on my back? Fine, I’ll tell you now. I was hurt by a monster, and that monster is the owner of Luna Club, and you can’t afford to offend him. If you don’t leave right now, you’ll end up like me! Or maybe even worse!” Meredith had not forgotten about how Yoel Harper had lost his life because of her.
But Yoel was at fault too so Meredith was not as concerned.
But Zade was different. Zade was her best friend.
