After staring at Matilda Ferguson for a while and not stopping at all, George Morris was furious. He stretched out one hand to grip her wrist, staring coldly at her tear-streaked and pitiful face, and demanded, "Have you cried enough?"
Once upon a time, this face had made him yearn for her countless times, but seeing it now, twisted in misery because of Bryan Hawkins, he felt humiliated.

But that was all she ever said - "thank you". He longed to hear more from her but never heard what he wanted from her lips. He knew she was holding something back, or else she wouldn't have kept rejecting his proposals.
Her reason for refusing him was rather compelling – she was just starting out in the Entertainment Circle, a place that didn't easily accept celebrities who were not single.
