Chloe smirked. "Mr. Shawn, you sure have energy to spare. Your date's still over there, yet you rushed over to chat with me."

She always picks on Lucy, leaving Michael feeling both helpless and confused.

He frowned, glancing at the curious eyes around him.

Even after three years, Chloe still couldn't measure up to Lucy in Michael's eyes.

Just as Chloe was about to say no, someone gently grabbed her arm from behind.

Quinn stepped between herself and Michael.
