Anderson leaned back on the chair with his eyes closed, Benind him, Mayra massaged his temples gently with just the right strength.
“What’s so great about him? Why are you putting so much effort into helping him?
“Mayra, I’m a businessman, not a philanthropist. There are so many sick Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
people in Belchester. No matter how rich I am, you can’t expect me to help all
of them.”
Mayra paused, “That’s not what I mean. Gordon is different to me.”
“How is he different ? Suddenly, Anderson’s eyes popped open. Perhaps the alcohol made him lose his head for a moment, and he grabbed her hand.
Losing her balance, Mayra fell sitting into his lap. The smell of alcohol on him seemed stronger to her now. Besides that, there was also the smell of cigarettes mixed with ladies‘ perfume.
As Mayra stared into his stern eyes, she felt her chest tightening with nervousness, “–”
“You’re still a student, Mayra. Are you telling me that you have a crush on
Gordon?”
“…” Mayra couldn’t utter a word.
“What? You have nothing to say? Am I working so hard to make money and put you in school just to have you fall for a boy at this young age?”
In Anderson’s presence, Mayra couldn’t hide her thoughts at all. “I’m begging you, Andy, Gordon is a good friend of mine. I’m just a pitiful child with nobody else left but you. I don’t want Gordon to experience losing his mother as well.
“Moreover, you’re so capable. If I can’t help him even with your help, I’d feel so guilty,”
Mayra held a hand to her heart. Tilting his head, Anderson watched as she pleaded with him.
Gradually, the look in his eyes turned deep and blurry. “I can help him, but you

k about this properly. Don’t even let me catch you meeting

agree to this. Why am I not allowed to meet Gordon? You’re pking on Andy Mayra felt terrible. It was as though there was a huge rock on her
Anderson narrowed his eyes when he saw the resistance in her eyes. However, e short while later, he suppressed the iciness in his look and said gently, “I didn’t say you couldn’t contact him.”
The knot between Mayra’s brows eased up as she listened to him silently.
“Your mind is full of him now, but don’t forget that you’re only 16. You’re still too young for all of this. As your guardian, I have to be responsible for your
future
“Wait a couple more years until you’re an adult and in college. At that time, if you still have Gordon on your mind, I won’t stop you. You can go ahead and do anything you want.”
“Really?” Mayra asked.
Anderson grinned. “Have I ever lied to you?”
“May I stay and not transfer to another school?*
Anderson’s gaze turned sharp. “Mayra, don’t make me repeat my words.”
Mayra pursed her lips. This was Anderson’s agreement with her. Once he had decided on something, he wouldn’t change his mind easily.
She forced a smile. “I understand, Andy.”
It would be a little more than two years, which wasn’t too long. At that time, Anderson and Isabel would be married. He wouldn’t have the attention to spare on Mayra then.
“Gordon, we’re going to be separated even before I hear your confession,” Mayra thought.
