"Holly," Garrett Vincent said, his voice cool and final, "I think we should keep some distance between us from now on. It's better to avoid any unnecessary speculation from other people."
In the past, when he was still confused about his own feelings, he had let Holly create that blurry public image.
Even when he realized what she was doing, he didn't really care.
After all, she had saved his life. If she wanted to use his name to boost her own status, he could let it slide.
But now... things were completely different!
Now that he knew he was in love with Rachel, he didn't want to give her a single reason to misunderstand his relationship with Holly.
Holly's face went pale at his words. She lowered her head, murmuring in a small, defeated voice, "I see... I'll be more careful from now on."
Her voice sounded so pitiful, but her downcast eyes were filled with a burning resentment.
