#Chapter148
/"Samantha, can I, um, can I just give you something./"
I laugh and shake my head. /"You can’t bribe me again, Phoenix. You can’t just buy me something to get what you want from me. You did that before, so it’s a no./"
/"That’s not what I mean, I just want to—/"
/"No, Phoenix. I think we are done talking. I should go back to work./"
I walk away from him even if I don’t want to. I don’t even wait for him to respond. My tears threaten to fall, but I take a deep breath to calm my emotions. My nerves are shaking, and I’m going to break down at any moment if I’ll stay with him longer.
I bite my lower lip to stop myself from trembling. I can’t see him so affected like that—that’s my weakness. I could have agreed to take me back if I just followed what I feel for him. I can’t even be a friend to him, that never going to happen—I will end up in his lap or worse in his bed.
