Marcus finally could not hold back the question he had been wanting to ask. “Annie, just what is your relationship with Mister Aaron?”

Annie was taken aback by his question. “Marcus, why do you ask? Nothing is going on between us!” she said embarrassingly.

“Annie, thank you for being honest with me. Then do you still like him now?”

Annie wanted to avoid answering this question but could not.

“It doesn’t matter whether I still like him or not because we’re never going to end up together. Marcus, you have nothing to worry about. I promised to take our relationship seriously the moment I agreed to be your girlfriend.”
