"David, Danielleâs still in training, right? Why donât I keep you company while you wait? Itâs just a friendly gesture," Audrey cooed, deliberately leaning forward to flaunt her assets.
"David, I know you like Danielle, but right now, Iâm really just considering you a friend. I didnât mean anything by it... I just saw you sitting alone in the car, looking so lonely. I wanted to keep you company," Audrey said, her voice soft but laced with desperation.
Nathan couldnât help but think, What am I, invisible? Why is it only David whoâs alone in the car?
Audrey rambled on, but David remained utterly unresponsive. The awkward silence stretched on, and Audrey felt her courage slipping. âHasnât David noticed my outfit?â
With a forced determination, she tugged at her clothes, lowering them slightly, before nervously blurting out, "David, can you really be so heartless?"
Davidâs expression darkened, his face like a storm cloud. Without even glancing in Audreyâs direction, he finally spoke, his voice cold and unyielding, "Youâre shameless. I have a fiancée. Get lost."
Audreyâs face turned pale. Desperation overtook her as she cried out, "David, why her? Whatever she can do, I can do better. Iâll do anything to make you happy!"
Davidâs eyes narrowed dangerously. "Do you think your familyâs status protects you from the consequences of your actions? If you keep this up, Iâll ensure you regret it."
Audreyâs face turned ashen at the words, her heart racing with frustration. She couldnât accept it. âWhy? Why was it Danielle who always got the chances? My love for David is deeper, more genuine-why couldnât I get the same opportunity? I was the one who had known him first, not Danielle. It was always Danielle, always her. Damn it.â
"David..." she whispered.
Audreyâs bravado crumbled, replaced by fear. Yet she still clung to hope, her voice trembling. "David, we had something special once. Donât let her come between us!"
Before David could respond, Danielleâs voice cut through the tension like a knife.
"What exactly was âspecialâ between you two?"
Audrey froze, her blood running cold. Slowly, she turned to face Danielle, whose icy gaze pinned her in place.
"Danielle!" Audrey stammered, trying to regain composure. "Youâre here already? But training isnât over yet-did you..."
Danielle crossed her arms, her tone dripping with disdain. "I came just in time, didnât I? Another minute, and youâd have started stripping in front of him."
Audreyâs face flushed red with shame.
"Shameless," David muttered under his breath, moving to stand beside Danielle.
Audrey, her voice trembling, tried to defend herself. "Danielle, youâve misunderstood! I was just saying hi to David..."
Danielle cut her off, her voice sharp.
"Misunderstood? Should I show you the door, or would you like another needle session?"
