บท 87: Priorities

"Why… are you helping me…?" Reina asked hesitantly.

"Well…" Rudy averted his gaze and glanced at Angelica, hoping she would find a good excuse for him. But she was still shocked after seeing Rudy kiss Reina.

She puffed her cheeks and said, "Why did you kiss her?!"

'I should get used to seeing the jealous version of Angelica. And as for why I kissed Reina… I myself have no idea.'

'I didn't want Reina to even think of selling herself to Scott. I would have hugged her instead, but I had already hugged her once when she had a breakdown. So I… kissed her. But why isn't she asking me that? She is worried about money over the kiss?!'

"Who said I am helping you?" Rudy uttered. "I am just giving you a loan. Now, if you take a loan from a bank, that wouldn't be considered as help, right?"

"Kind of…"

Rudy shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's what I am doing."

"I see…" Reina muttered with a disappointed look on her face.
