Before Annie lost her sight, Eleanor, like her other friends, looked down on me, thinking I was always spying on Annie, preventing them from having fun.
But after a big fight with Annie, they never contacted each other again.
During the two years Annie was blind, Eleanor expanded her family's business empire, taking over industries that once belonged to the Crawford Group.
Even though my relationship with Annie was over, when Eleanor was so friendly towards me, I felt like I was betraying Annie.
Eleanor stretched in her seat, lazily telling me, "There's a charity gala in a few days. You're coming with me."
I turned to the window, watching the scenery pass by. "What would I do at a gala like that? If you're trying to make Annie jealous, there's no need. She's married now."
Eleanor leaned close to my face, pouting like a child, "Is that so? But I heard they only had a wedding, not a marriage certificate yet?"
She was so close I could feel her breath.
I ignored Eleanor, knowing she wasn't asking for my opinion. She was commanding me.
At that moment, Annie's voice echoed in my mind. "Stephen? How could I possibly like him? Stop joking around."
