Rex cursed himself silently, fully aware of Casey's feelings for him but unwilling to break her heart. That's why he never allowed this girl to express her feelings.
"I see. All right, I will tell Scarlett that she misunderstood, that you never meant it that way..." Casey's voice wavered with forced casualness. Despite the ache in her heart, she resolved to endure it. She couldn't force Rex to have feelings for her.
"Wait!" Rex snapped out of his troubled thoughts, realizing that if Scarlett discovered he was bluffing, he would be in trouble when they met the next day.
"Yes, what is it?" Casey asked, trying to sound nonchalant, though her heart started racing, anticipating what Rex was about to say.
"Casey, you can admit it to Scarlett. You can say whatever you want to say!" Rex surrendered, feeling defeated. He couldn't let Scarlett know he had lied about having a girl at his villa.
"R-Rex... y-you mean it!?" Casey couldn't believe her ears.
