Chapter 24: Laila isn't just any girl

Jeremy POV

"Tell me if there is anything you want to change in that contract."

She twirled the tip of her hair that falls on the side of her face. She avoided looking straight at me. Something must have happened because the moment we saw each other again there was that same aura she have the day I last saw her. The pain came back almost choking me as I remember that day but I controlled myself knowing she won't ever leave again.

"Let's get this clear. We'll have to pretend to be dating each other because you can't have that deal with Tan without me and you promise to help Henry get out of jail." She stated while still avoiding looking at me.

"Yes." I simply answered her.

"Then why do I have to follow whatever you say and come with you at every event? There is definitely no need for me to do that." I had to bite my lower lip as she almost figure out what am I planning.
