Chapitre 19: Friends

Selma Payne's POV:

I was very happy that his consideration at this moment allowed me to recover from the sudden sadness.

"I've misunderstood you all this time. Thank you for being so considerate today," I whispered to Aldrich.

He laughed again. "Don't take it to heart. If anyone tries to bully you in the future, just come to me. I'll beat them up."

I chuckled and extended my hand to him. "In that case, I'll reluctantly acknowledge you as my friend."

His hand was warm and strong, and we firmly shook our hands once.

"Alright, where do you want to take me?" I asked him with interest. He was much more pleasing to the eye, making me look forward to the journey more.

He didn't answer immediately but asked me, "Are you sure you want to go have fun now? You don't have to force yourself if you wish to find a quiet place to chill. "

"I want to go for a spin. Let's go, handsome." I patted his arm.
