Jake instinctively moved to shield Keira from the oncoming milk tea. But as soon as he stepped in front of her, someone yanked his arm, and the next thing he knew, Keira was the one standing in front of him.
Thud!
Before the drink could reach her, Keira kicked it away. Still, since it was a liquid, some of it splashed out, landing on her arm.
Jake froze, then chuckled to himself.
He'd done it again—forgotten that Keira wasn't just any ordinary girl…
Most girls in a situation like this would look for protection, but Keira never needed that.
She was strong and confident.
Even back in college, she was often the subject of gossip, but she never cared.
She never punished herself for other people's mistakes.
Suddenly, Jake realized it wasn't that she was too strong; it was that he wasn't good enough, not worthy to stand in front of her.
