That's not how friends are supposed to be.
："Friends Don't Do That": I seduced the heir of the Duke of Lissianthus. He secretly took my hand. I sighed and gently pulled my hand away. "Friends don't do that to each other." "Lien, are you already embarrassed after just holding hands?" No matter how I thought about it, I couldn't believe those words came from Carcion, whose face was flushed red from 'holding my hand'. "Lien, I can do more than this." The words flowed smoothly, yet those light blue eyes didn't dare meet mine. So, whatever I said to that embarrassed face was useless. This guy!
*** The Duchess took a bag from her chest. “Do you have any money? Take this and break up with Carcion. I put it here so you won’t feel sad.” I stared at the thick bag the Duchess offered without replying. Then, I rested my chin on my clasped hands, my eyes serious. “We’re not dating, we’re just friends. So, from today, I’ll cut off all contact with Carcion, okay?” The Duchess trembled as she rose from her seat. Was she going to slap me? Or throw water at me? “Approved!” “Yes?” My face showed confusion. What was that? I hadn’t anticipated this reaction.
