I had never seen Zachary like this before.
Harrison seemed a bit surprised too. After a few seconds of shock, he sneered,
“Bro, why so worked up?! Weren’t you the one who sent her to me?”
“Don’t play the good guy now.”
The veins on Zachary’s arm bulged. After a few seconds, he silently let go of Harrison.
Harrison rubbed the red marks on his neck and waved at me:
“Hello, Lily. Let me reintroduce myself. I’m Harrison Goodwin.”
Harrison wasn’t flustered at all, just smiling nonchalantly.
Zachary stepped forward, blocking my view of him, and looked at me coldly.
I couldn’t read the emotions in his eyes.
But I immediately knew what emotion I needed to act out.
I looked up at Zachary, tears falling uncontrollably, but instead of blaming him, I softly
asked:
“Did I do something wrong? Do you not want me anymore?”
Zachary seemed to stiffen for a moment. I saw his Adam’s apple bob.
Then, I was pulled into a warm embrace.
“I’ll take you home,” Zachary said, his voice low and gentle.
But inside, I was relieved. This hurdle seemed to have been passed.
When I looked up, I saw the smile on Harrison’s face slowly disappear.

As Zachary led me out, he glanced at Harrison, who was still standing there:
“I just said, the game is over.”
“Don’t go near her again.”
Harrison resumed his obedient demeanor and said: “I can’t guarantee that.”
Zachary said disdainfully: “You can try.””
Harrison leaned against the table with his hands in his pockets, smiling innocently:
“Bro, don’t be so fierce. We’ve played like this before, and you never cared.”
“Shut your mouth.”
Zachary’s voice carried a warning.
“Okay, I’ll stop talking. If the game is over, then it’s over. It’s not fun anymore now that it’s been exposed anyway.”
Then he snapped his fingers at me:
“Lily, remember, my name is Harrison Goodwin. Don’t get it wrong next time we meet.”
Zachary’s patience was exhausted. Not wanting to talk to his crazy brother anymore, he led me into the elevator.
