Chapter 102
"And now, I am disappointed in you as well. So don’t you ever come to my office asking for help, Emperor Publishing will cross you out of our roster of authors. Goodbye, Bonnie."
Henry watched as Kate opened the door. She held it, waiting for Henry to go with her.
"Mr. Grant?" She asked since Henry simply stood there, watching her indescribable gaze full of meaning. "We’re leaving now."
Henry snapped out of his daze and nodded. He followed Kate as they left the cafe and went straight to Henry’s car.
Both of them said nothing as Henry drove the car back to their office. Henry tried to keep his mouth shut, but the restlessness in his heart made him uncomfortable, so he asked, "Kate, about the thing you told Bonnie Harper just now, are you sure that you don’t believe in second chances?"
"No," Kate replied curtly without giving it a second thought. "I don’t believe in second chances. Everyone whom I’ve given a second chance to has been nothing but a disappointment."
"I gave so many people in my life a second chance, but all I got was pain in the end. They hurt me in so many ways," Kate added. "That’s why I don’t want to give Matt a second chance even if he begs me for another chance."
"But what if someone hurt you because of the situation he is in?" Henry asked. "Don’t misunderstand, Kate. This is just a what-if scenario."
She glanced at Henry, whose eyes were still on the road. Her heart ached as she imagined Henry hurting her as well.
She didn’t know why, but she had a feeling that Henry was doing something that would only harm her in the end.
’I don’t want to get hurt anymore, Henry...’ Kate said in her heart. ’Please don’t hurt me. I’m not that tough.’
