Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 501

Simon hadn't been showing up at any of the recent parties, and nobody really knew what he was up to these days.

As soon as he left the private room, the gossip inside only got louder. Everyone remembered how Simon used to be all about Clara, but now she was totally obsessed with that male model. She wouldn't even look Simon's way anymore.

Out in the hallway, Simon picked up his call with Eden.

"What did you mean by 'getting rid of the problem for good?" he asked. The lounge had been way too loud earlier, but he could guess this was about Clara.

Eden was in a great mood tonight and didn't bother keeping secrets. "Bro, you hate Clara too, right?"

Simon clenched his fist, staring out at the dark sky. "Did you guys pull it off?"

There was a spark in his eyes as he spoke.

Eden's voice got cocky. "Of course. I don't know what Megan wants to do next- she's smarter than me and always has some plan. I'll call her in a few days and ask. Besides, Clara still has no clue. Megan never actually thought of her as a friend, anyway."
