Flossie was taken aback, but she nodded firmly nonetheless.
A small smile played across Benny’s lips. “Then be my girlfriend.”
Flossie’s eyes sparkled and her voice trembled. “Did you really mean that? Are you serious?”
Excitement bubbled up inside her.

Benny let go of her hand, stood up, and said casually, “Forget about it if you didn’t hear me clearly.”
He turned and walked away, leaving Flossie speechless for a moment.
She recovered quickly, then chased after him.
Catching up, she wrapped her arms around his waist. “I heard you!
You’re my boyfriend now. You have to keep your promise.”
Benny stiffened but didn’t push her away.
That night, Flossie slept in Benny’s room, both lying quietly in the same bed.
Flossie peeked at the man beside her and snuggled closer. Receiving no response, she mustered her courage and embraced him.
Benny’s eyes snapped open. He was about to push her hand away when Flossie spoke.
“This is perfect! Now you can come to Stella’s wedding as my boyfriend.” Leaning against his arm, she felt comforted by his steady heartbeat.
The mention of Stella caused Benny to pause. He asked in a cold tone, “You’re friends?”
“Yes!” Flossie nodded enthusiastically. “When my reputation was ruined and companies rejected me, Stella gave me a chance and helped me rebuild my career. Thanks to her, I saved my modeling career and achieved so much.”

Benny remained silent.
Flossie, on the other hand, drifted back to the dark days of the past. She was filled with gratitude for the present. It felt like a dream.
“Once you’re fully recovered, I can return to work,” Flossie said softly.
Her heart bubbled with hope and happiness for their future together.
As Flossie fell asleep with a peaceful breath, Benny looked down at her, then looked away.
He realized he had acted impulsively. He had asked her to be his girlfriend due to gratitude.
Now, with a calmer mind, he questioned his decision.
Flossie and Stella were good friends. Hurting Stella to get back at Matthew would deeply hurt Flossie too.
