"Owen, you really shouldn't..."

Owen cut her off, "Why shouldn't I? You expect me to help you for free? I can do some things for free but for others, I need to be paid."

She hurt him. Even though she knew he loved her, she was asking him to investigate her romantic rival. It was like stabbing him in the heart. If he didn't love her, her coldness would be enough to piss him off. "Ruby, I'll give you a minute to think it over. After that, even if you agree, I won't help you anymore."

Ruby bit her lower lip lightly. She quickly stood up, walked over to Owen, got him up, made him face her, and kissed him.

But as soon as she touched Owen's lips, he pushed her away. Ruby didn't expect Owen to react like this. She lost her balance and fell to the ground.

She just stared at Owen. He had just said that if she kissed him, he would help her. She did what he asked, but he still pushed her away.

Owen turned around and left.

"Owen." Ruby called out to him. Had she done something wrong?

"Don't worry, I'll do what I promised." Without turning around, Owen coldly said this and left Ruby behind.

Ruby was willing to do anything for Stefan. This deeply hurt Owen's heart and his pride.

There was no difference between him and Stefan. They had known each other since childhood, growing up together. Why was he only her friend, but Stefan was the one she loved? Were there no other men in the world? Why did she have to choose Stefan?

Owen was worried that if he didn't leave, he might've lost control due to jealousy and hurt Ruby.
