CHAPTER 20

  She approached Lucy after Justin had left.

  "That was harsh," he remarks.

  "Yeah, it's better that way so he doesn't have to hope anymore. I'm not in a relationship right now because that would be the cause of my fall. I had many dreams in life. I'm not as rich as him. He was kind but I saw him earlier with a woman holding his arm. And now he came here and brought some stuff. I don't want to have a problem when I go to school," Lucy explained.

  And Elijah didn't notice Lucy's regret that it drove Justin away; she was determined not to make it her friend.

  "You're stunning, Lucy, and there's no doubt Justin won't be interested in you," she says.

  "Thank you, Ma'am. I would only know that now if you hadn't told me, because I don't care about my appearance; what matters to me is that I achieve my dreams."

  "You're doing the right thing."
