Love That Wasn't Meant to Last

Chapter 48

Looking at the empty corridor, I thought for a moment before striking up a conversation with Zion. "Is Selena very close to Andy?"

"They're not exactly close, but not bad either. Their relationship isn't as simple as it seems on the surface," he replied.

Zion looked at me suspiciously, his eyes full of wariness. "Hudson, you never used to bother with things related to Selena's company, so why are you suddenly so invested? What exactly are you thinking?"

I was speechless at his wild imagination, but I didn't bother correcting him either. "Then why does she dislike you so much?" I asked, puzzled.

"No idea. Maybe she's just messed up," Zion replied irritably. For some reason, he looked at me with the same annoyed expression.

"What's it to you, anyway? Why do you care so much? Hudson, you didn't used to be like this. Ever since you went to Carzonia, you have been asking all sorts of questions."

I was used to Zion's sarcasm, so it didn't bother me much. In fact, it gave me a strange sense of superiority, as if his jabs were actually his frustration about me taking Selena away from him, though that wasn't my intention.
