She muted her phone, then glanced at Duane. She started to type a reply, saying, Why cant you discuss it over the phone? What if someone photographs us
Bradley countered, Are we never going to meet again just because of a potential photograph? Dont worry, it wont affect my work.
Alright, Sabrina agreed.
Sabrina stashed her phone and concocted a pretext to exit the chamber.

After coming out of the bathroom, she positioned herself near the fire exit, waiting patiently.
After a brief interval, Bradley approached her.
Have you been waiting long?
No, not at all. What did you want to talk about? Sabrina inquired.
Bradley gazed at Sabrina, his expression a tangle of emotions, his eyes harboring profound affection.
Sabrinas heart fluttered as she discerned the intensity in his gaze.
Bradley Hadnt he given up yet?
Since shed turned down Bradleys advances at the restaurant during their previous encounter, their contact had grown sparse. Sabrina earnestly hoped Bradley could regard her as a friend.
She probed, Whats on your mind?
Bradley remained silent for a few moments before speaking in a hushed tone.
You have you reconciled with Tyrone? I saw you getting into his car yesterday.
Sabrina was taken aback by Bradleys revelation.
She hesitated, wrestling with her inner turmoil.
She hadnt reconciled with Tyrone, but she couldnt deny they were somewhat close.
However, it had been against her will. They were far from being back together.
Observing Sabrinas silence, Bradley felt a pang of sadness, as though a gust of cold wind had swept through his heart.
He suppressed the bitterness and frustration brewing within and made an effort to steady himself.
I dont know what transpired between you two, but have you forgotten that he cheated on you? Theres no guarantee he wont do it again in the future. I dont understand why you
His words trailed off, replaced by a resigned sigh. He didnt expect this.
Seeing that Bradley had misunderstood her, Sabrina chose not to defend herself. Perhaps this was an opportunity to make Bradley relinquish his affections.
After a brief pause, she responded, No one can predict the future.
But Bradley started. His emotions began to surge with each passing moment. He let out an exasperated sigh and gazed at her with disappointment.
Why do you like him? Arent you afraid hell hurt you again? Sabrina, I hope you can address it rationally, and weigh the pros and cons. Dont let emotions
Bradley, I understand youre Looking out for me. Ive considered everything youve said. Ive thought long and hard before reconciling with Tyrone. I hope you can understand. . Sabrina started.
I dont understand! Bradley cut her off bitterly. He locked his gaze on her and continued, Why dont you consider being with me?

Tyrone had an affair with someone else while he was with you and Im the one whos not good enough?
Sabrina shook her head gently and replied, Its not a competition.
Its about love. Sometimes, feelings are irrational. Besides, theres nothing between Tyrone and Galilea. Bradley, please understand that even without Tyrone, we cant be together. I value our friendship and sincerely hope you can move on.
Bradley forced a bitter smile and shook his head.
Forgetting someone isnt as simple as you make it sound. Just as you cant forget Tyrone, I cant forget you either. You said you wouldnt remarry Tyrone. I thought that if I stayed by your side, you might accept me someday
Sabrina interjected, Ive shared my perspective with you. Bradley, Ill talk to your agent during our next work engagement. Ill give you some time to cool down. If you continue like this, then I might have no choice but to let go of our friendship.
Then she turned around and was about to leave.
Sabrina! Bradleys voice, laced with sadness, broke the silence as he grasped her wrist.
Are you truly this heartless?
