"I will," Bella said seriously.
It shocked Christina that Bella accepted her advice seriously and decisively.
"But I can wait for the right time." Bella was still young and no one forced her to date or marry someone.
If Benedict did love someone by then, she could just find someone else.
They talked about something else and then got down to their own business.
Alana had planned to sleep, but she had to toss and turn because of Jamarion.
She didn't fall asleep until midnight and was narrowly late for school the second day.
This was her first time hurriedly going to school since she went abroad. She always got up early the second her alarm rang, but today she couldn't get up on time because of Jamarion.
She began to wash quickly after getting up and she didn't want to have breakfast or more precisely she couldn't make one now.
When she rushed to the outside, her chauffeur sent her a box of sandwiches and said, "Jamarion asked me to give it to you because he kind of knew you got up late and gave you his breakfast."
"Where is he?" Alana took the sandwiches and glanced at Jamarion's villa.
"He said he wanted to hang out and leave you alone since you have lectures to attend this whole day." The chauffeur told Alana exactly what Jamarion said to him.
Alana hummed and said nothing about it but told her chauffeur to drive her to the school as soon as possible.
Jamarion now said to her chauffeur that he'd leave her alone, but he was the reason why she had a bad sleep last night.
But she texted him anyway, "Thanks for the sandwiches."
"How about dinner tonight?" Jamarion sent an invitation.
Alana got caught in a dilemma. Now they were in an awkward position – they were not each other's lovers but they planned to marry each other in four years; she wanted to get along with him as friends but she knew he loved her.
"I think we agreed on getting along as friends. You can ignore my confession of love. If you are available this night, we'll have dinner together; if you have a date with others, I'll leave you alone."
Alana didn't respond because she literally knew nothing to say.
Jamarion called her since she kept silent for a long time. "Are you beginning to hate me?"
He asked carefully over the phone.
"No." Alana denied.
She just didn't know how to respond to him.
"Do you hate to have dinner with me?" He kept asking.
"No." Alana denied it right away, merely following her heart.
She didn't hate Jamarion or having dinner with him. She just thought it would be odd to face him again.
