章節 44: Advocacy

Skyler's POV

"Thank you so much, Sky, I don't know how to thank you, but I promised you I would pay you back, but not the whole amount right away," Neil said the moment we met after I wired the money to the shark boss.

"You don't need to thank me, Neil, and don't think of paying me back. All I want for you is to start a new life, you are young, and I know you have a beautiful future ahead of you," I responded.

"You must be so in love with Selena that you have to do this to me; I just don't understand why you have to reject her when she confessed her feelings to you," Neil replied.

"I have my reasons, Neil, and I admit, yes, you are right; I am in love with Selena. But please don't tell her I told you about how I felt for her." I responded.

"And one more thing, I don't want her to know anything about what happened in your life recently. I don't want Selena to worry about you. I could tell she likes you as her friend, and she will cherish your friendship forever," I added.
