Chapter 228 Fat Chance
Buck knew that Hope’s career was taking off. Not only did she need to work hard, she also had to keep herself free of any scandals if she wanted to ride the wave of her success for a few more years.
If news ever got out that she was in a relationship, then it would been a big hit for her career.
He was her most loyal fan. He had seen every social media update she had ever written. He knew how much courage it took for her to step foot into the entertainment industry. He knew about the lonely moments she had to endure during her time as a student overseas.
He knew how much she loved her career. The level of dedication she demonstrated in the past few years made her a role model for her fellow celebrities to follow. That was exactly why he was reluctant to ruin it for her. After all, she had not known him for very long.
Buck was no fool. He could tell Hope had a thing for him, but he could not cross that line with her. People could easily tell by the way they looked at each other.
“We’re nearly at your place, Hope. I’ll walk you up later.”
There was a lingering silence after that..
Hope hid her disappointment very well and said, “You don’t have to. I can go up on my own. I’m not a kid. Why would I need someone with me just to ride the elevator?”
“Ms. Maia’s orders. I need to see to it that you’ve returned home safely. It’s my duty.”
Hope was stunned. So, sending her home safely was just a job for him.
They drove to her place and went upstairs together. Hope kept quiet the entire time. She said a curt goodbye to Buck when they were at her doorstep.
True to form, Hope kept her emotions well hidden. Her acting skills were coming in handy now. Buck stood at her door for a long time after she closed it. He did not realize that tears had formed in his eyes.
“I can’t ruin the career you’ve built for so long just to satisfy my desire to be with you.”
Buck looked at Hope’s door longingly before eventually leaving. What he did not know was that Hope had been leaning on the other side of the door. Her body trembled as she burst into
tears…
Meanwhile, at Cloud Nine Residences, Maia had just taken a bath. As she walked out of the bathroom, her phone vibrated. At first, she did not recognize the number. Nevertheless, she picked up the call.
