Chapter 173: Never Good Enough

Even as a companion to Grant I'm not good enough for him.

"Ahh. It makes sense now, Grant." He claps him on the shoulder like they're best buddies. "How much has she squeezed you for in donations?" He laughs like it's the funniest joke anyone has ever heard.

It stings. Obviously he thinks the only reason Grant would be seen with someone like me would be over work with the center. There's not a chance we'd be a couple or anything. It's like watching every single fear or insecurity I've had about Grant and me played out before my very eyes.

Grant leans forward like he's about to stick up for me or do something worse like introduce me as his girlfriend. I'm not particularly fond of either option.

"Grant and his friends raised over one hundred thousand dollars for the center earlier this year. He's quite the philanthropist," I say patting him on the arm.

"That he is. I've never seen Grant make a bad investment."
