Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

Chapter 34: A Familiar Man

"I did all that to get your attention," Haze said as he heaved a sigh. "I was the first one to greet you that day, but you still noticed Ash. I knew I had to do something, and when I got jealous, I couldn't control my anger." I raised an eyebrow. Is it the day they were chit chatting in our room?

He was right, though. Now that I think about it, he did seem nice that day. He even complimented me. I thought he was just messing with me back then.

What he did wasn't right, but somehow, I understand him. When you like someone, you'll do anything for them to notice you. Sometimes, people even lose their rationality when they like someone.

But...

"Why do you like me?" I asked, expecting him to be taken aback by my question.

However, he answered that question casually.

"Because you can fight for yourself in your own way."

Instead of him being surprised, I was the one who widened my eyes in shock.

"And that's the first time I heard that," I said as I lightly touched my chin. "Everyone told me that I should fight and release the devil inside me."

"You fight for yourself in your own way, Sapphire. They just don't see it. Only the same kind of people can recognize the same type of characteristic."

He chuckled a bit, but I could still see the sincerity in his eyes.

I was about to ask what he meant by that, but he spoke again.

"By the way, don't think that Evangeline was dumb for sending you here. I was the one who requested her to do that. I wanted to talk to you, but because of this," he showed me his still-bandaged shoulder, "I couldn't do it, so I made you adjust instead."

I chuckled for two reasons. First, because his last remark was sarcastic, and second, because I felt stupid for being intimidated by Evangeline earlier.

Who in their right mind could perform well after breaking a bone? I thought she was just losing her sanity.
