“I… I’m sorry,” Calista repeated, her gaze lowered as if she couldn’t bear to meet Rainey’s eyes. Her hands were clasped tightly together, her guilt clearly evident. “I should have apologized to you a long time. ago. I’m sorry for causing you to be humiliated like that by her, Rainey.”

Rainey’s expression immediately became serious as she regarded Calista with deep intensity.

However, instead of responding immediately, Rainey quietly continued eating her meal for a few moments before looking up with a smile and saying, “Actually, I should be the one apologizing.”

“Huh?” Calista looked at her, puzzled.

Rainey shook her head self–deprecatingly. “Back then, I saw how tough your situation was at home. Yet, after your stepmother scolded me, I was too scared to confront her and unfairly took out my anger on you. You were already in a dire situation, and I just added to your emotional load. I

was too weak.”

Caught in Calista’s somewhat bewildered gaze, Rainey chuckled softly, “You see, if I had been stronger back then, if I could have let it go, I believe we could have remained good friends. But I wasn’t. Not only did I fail to support you as a friend should, but I also berated you. After that, you became much more reserved, barely speaking more than necessary. I knew I was at fault, but I never had the courage to apologize until now.”

It seemed as if a light went on in Calista’s eyes, as she fixed her gaze on her friend.

“So later on, when you were considering changing schools, those numerous times you looked at me weren’t just figments of my

imagination,” Calista mentioned.

Rainey replied with a laugh, “So you still remember! Yes, back then I wanted to apologize to you, but I was too timid to take that step, so I’m sorry.”

Calista inexplicably held her breath.

“Would you forgive me? I never really disliked you, you know. You’re attractive and intelligent. Perhaps… I just despised my own inadequacy. So, could you find it in your heart to forgive me?”

Calista slowly asked, “What about you, have you forgiven me?”

Suddenly, Rainey found Calista’s current demeanor irresistibly charming. She laughed heartily and said, “I forgave you a long time ago! After all, who can resist your wealth?”

She was referring to the two hundred and fifty thousand but quickly

who guy changed the subject. Teasingly, she asked, “Honestly, was that came with you today your boyfriend? He’s really handsome! But he doesn’t seem to have a good temper, mysteriously gave me a quarter million. I even thought he was trying to ask me to be his sugar baby!”

Rainey exaggeratedly pulled a scared face.

Unable to hold back, Calista burst into laughter. Her laugh was like the first thaw after a long winter, dissolving all her previous restraint. To Rainey, it seemed as though Calista had finally regained a hint of her former self.

Cradling her own heart, she murmured, “I take back what I just said. With a beauty like you by his side, if your boyfriend ever offered to take care of me, he’d definitely need to get his eyes checked.”

Calista blinked. “You’re quite good–looking too.”

Rainey was indeed quite attractive, with her short hair giving off an air of elegant simplicity

She let out a mournful cry. “Before I met you, I used to take pride when people called me beautiful. Now, it feels like an insult!”

“That’s an exaggeration!” Calista retorted. Almost immediately after resolving their misunderstanding, Calista’s mood appeared to lift considerably, her face lighting up with smiles more frequently as though the gloomy shadow that had lingered over her for many years had at last begun to dissipate.

“You ought to take a good look at yourself in the mirror whenever you get a chance,” Rainey advised her with a firm tone, adding confidently, “I’m willing to bet your boyfriend will be on his way to find you soon. It’s simply too risky to have you sitting out here by yourself!”

As she made this remark, Rainey’s eyes casually scanned the other diners. around them, noticing that quite a few were sneakily glancing in their direction.

Calista slightly pursed her lips and responded, “He’s… not my boyfriend.”

“Really? My vision hasn’t failed me yet; look, he indeed came looking for you!” Rainey exclaimed as she pointed out.

Calista followed the direction of Rainey’s finger and sure enough, she observed Kallum making his way toward them. His steps were brisk, almost as if he was eager to sweep Calista away at any given moment.

Rainey commented with a hint of sarcasm, “Handsome and rich, indeed. It seems the good–looking men of today certainly have a discerning taste.”

Calista couldn’t deny it as she watched Kallum approach. She had to acknowledge that she felt significantly more composed than earlier.

“Have you two had a chance to talk?” Kallum inquired, his gaze meticulously evaluating Calista before he shifted his focus to Rainey.

“Yeah, thank you both for your help. Please leave your contact information so I can reach you for repayment,” Rainey requested.

Kallum thoughtfully provided Quintus‘ phone number to Rainey.

After jotting down the number, Rainey realized she couldn’t stay much. longer; she needed to return to her responsibilities at work.

Before departing, Rainey turned to Calista and expressed with genuine. sincerity, “I truly appreciate your help this time. If you hadn’t shown up unexpectedly, I might have ended up doing something I’ll regret.”

Calista understood precisely what she was referring to. She managed a slight smile, and as the tension between them eased, she naturally exuded a renewed sense of self–assurance.

“If you ever find yourself in any trouble, remember, you can always reach out to me. After all, I am your creditor, aren’t I?”

“You’re right!” Rainey chuckled, “What’s one more debt when you’re already saddled with it! So, allow me to express my gratitude in advance!

“Take care.”

“Goodbye.”
