Chapter 11 You Have Grown Too Bold Now

Harper pondered, "The only outcome of this will be my own embarrassment."

Benjamin picked up on some inexplicable undertones in her words. "It's like she's talking about me, but then it feels like it has nothing to do with me. Am I overthinking things?" He wondered.

Harper didn't want to continue talking with him as she feared she couldn't control her emotions. Since yesterday, she had been constantly reminding herself, "Harper, stop hoping.

Paul narrowed his eyes and pretended to be serious. "Nonsense! Where have you gained weight? And don't you dare try to lose weight by starving yourself like others do."
