My hand holding the phone was trembling.
Thinking back to everything, Jordan had been desperately searching for me.
After we reunited, he promotedand gavea raise.
The things he said, the things he did including last night.
It turns out, it was all to repay the debt!
That's all it was!
Right, Elena said he hatedat the KTV.
Maybe that was the truth.

He counted on his fingers.

Jordan frowned. "What are you talking about? | don't need you to payback."
He continued to be the shadow behind me.
Until Friday, when he didn't show up.
