The weather was already chilly during the winter, and the heavy rain outside just made it even colder.

Damn it… I just had to forget my umbrella, huh? Well, my car isn’t too far away, so maybe I could just run through the rain…

But the moment I stood outside the entrance of the restaurant, the biting cold discouraged me.

Suddenly, a man held an umbrella over my head, and I didn’t have to turn around to know it was Marcus.

“Did you drive here or take a cab?” His voice sounded as cold as the weather.

I looked up at the heavy downpour and said, “I drove here.”

Marcus nodded. “I’ll give you a lift.”

“No, thank you,” I declined his offer immediately.

“Haha… I know you hate me and all, but you don’t have to avoid me like that! I’m not going to kidnap you or anything!” he said with a wry, self-mocking laugh.

I pursed my lips as I looked at my shoes that were completely drenched by the rain. “I didn’t mean to give you that money, you know? You and Ashton are both amazing men! You shouldn’t be hurting each other over a nobody like me!”
