When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

I hummed a response but didn’t probe further. Instead, my mind drifted to Danny and I said, “Nora, since I won’t be in A City for several days, I trust you to take care of that matter I mentioned to you before. By the way, there’s also Danny. I met him in an alley a while ago. He looked like a pitiful mess, so I told him to come to me if he needs anything. I may need your help on that since I won’t be around for the time being.”

Even through the phone, I could feel her pouting as she answered, “Alright, alright. I got it. Honestly, you’re too kind for your own good. People like Danny are already beyond saving. Why are you getting yourself involved with him? You’ll only bring unnecessary trouble to yourself.”

I chuckled softly and merely said, “Thanks for your help, anyway. I’ll make it up to you!”

She sighed again. “I know.”

After we ended the call, the taxi coincidently arrived at the airport. I got off and took my suitcase before heading toward the boarding gates. When I was collecting my ticket, I inadvertently spotted a friend.

Well, maybe not a friend… she’s more like an acquaintance.

After collecting her ticket, Tessa scanned her surroundings, as if hiding from someone. Then, she walked toward the international boarding gate.

She’s going abroad? Where?

I wasn’t close with her to begin with, so I didn’t intend to approach her and pry for information. As the distance between us increased, I headed to the terminal to wait for my flight.
