"Don't always wear black and white. It makes you look old." Sienna takes the clothes in my hand away discontentedly.

She turns around and gives me a pink dress. "Try this. You shouldn't be wearing anything too bright now."

I take the dress and go to the fitting room. Other than attending banquets with Harrison, I rarely wear dresses. I'm not comfortable with them. When I come out, Sienna says the dress really fits me. Then, she just throws away the shirt I was wearing.

"If I lived like you, I'd starve to death." I shake my head.

She says casually, "I'm just trying to improve your life."

"Come on, I can't afford this."

"All right, all right. But the occasional luxury is fine." She raises her hands and gives in.

Then, I receive a call from Harrison. He says he can't pick me up because he has a dinner party. So, I need to go back by myself.

After hanging up the phone, I realize we're like

a couple now. Then, a shadow of a smile touches my mouth.

"What makes you so happy? Boyfriend?" Sienna approaches me and asks.

I'm shocked by her sudden approach and step back subconsciously. I pat my chest and say, "Don't scare me."

"Don't changed the subject." She holds me in her arms and says in an interrogating tone, "You looked like a woman in love just now. Tell me, are you dating someone?"

I'm flustered. I'm not ready to tell her about Harrison. Besides, he's not my boyfriend.

Looking at her, I shake my head helplessly. "I wish, but I'm not."

"No way. How can you be so good and not be wanted? Don't tell me you still love Callen."

"Impossible!" I firmly deny. "I don't give a s*it about this jerk now."

Not to mention the damage he's done to me, I could never forgive him for his involvement in my mother's death.

The mention of him makes me feel terrible again.

Noticing my change, Sienna comforts me. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean that. Please don't be angry."

"I'm not angry. I just don't understand why you brought him up." In order not to let her blame himself, I change the subject. "You haven't been in a relationship in years. I thought you weren't over him," she looks at me worriedly and says.

"We're no longer young. I'm sure your mother would want a man to take care of you."

Her words almost make me shed tears. A while ago, my mother asked me to go on a blind date. Harrison ruined it, though.

After thinking for a while, I say, "I'll replace someone to spend the rest of my life with. Don't worry."

After saying so, I think of Harrison.

Sienna takes me to a restaurant for dinner. She says the food here is delicious.

When I walk to the door, I kind of regret coming here with her. This restaurant looks really fancy. Neither of us is rich, so I don't want to spend too much money on food.

"This place must be expensive," I stop in my tracks and say.

Sienna smiles at me. "I know what you mean, but don't worry. I've been getting a raise. It's my treat."

I'm glad this restaurant doesn't require formal dress like the one Harrison took me to.

It's is not big but it doesn't look crowded, and the decoration inside is very exquisite. Each booth is separated by a curtain.

Sienna and I sit next to the window. As she orders, she tells me about the last time she had dinner here with Jonah. I feel like he's really become a part of her life, and she's so happy when she talks about him. Her phone rings when the food is served. It should be Jonah. After a while, she hangs up the phone happily.

Looking at her, I sigh and shake my head. "You look like no one will marry you except him."

"Stop making fun of me. Jonah said he would join us later."

I stop drinking water. "What? No, I don't want to be the third wheel."

"It doesn't matter. He's not alone," she says indifferently.

"But I'm an outsider to him. It's weird to have dinner with him." I explain.

But Sienna doesn't think it's a big deal. She says that all people are from strangers to acquaintances.

'Fine. Anyway, Jonah is not gonna talk to me, and he probably doesn't even want to see me.'

About ten minutes later, under the guidance of Sienna, I see Jonah coming to us. However, I also see Harrison and a woman behind him. That woman is gently holding his arm.

"Chelsea is here?" Jonah's voice is not loud, but it's enough to let everyone around hear him.

I thought Harrison would come to me, but he just goes into a room with that woman. He doesn't even look at me.

I feel as if I had fallen into a hole of ice. I'm cold all over.

This is the first time I've seen him so cold. He acts like he doesn't even know me.
