“If they’re okay?” Nolan cut in, frowning. “Are your parents sick?”“I would say they are,” Cherry said with a sad chuckle. “They’re dealing with something huge, and it’s just been a lot. I don’t even know how to explain it properly, but it’s affecting them financially, mentally, emotionally, and even physically. Every time I see them, they look like they’re so close to losing their sanity. It’s really sad.”She paused and swallowed hard.“I have to go home almost every day just to check on them and make sure they’re fine. It’s taking a toll on me too. It’s difficult… really difficult.”Nolan listened quietly, surprised.From the way Cherry carried herself, from her looks and confidence, he would never have guessed that she was going through something like this.“My father invested in a startup company,” Cherry continued, her voice trembling slightly. “The company collapsed. He put in everything he had. He sold his assets, his landed properties, everything, just to invest in that star

What…” Nolan was stunned and everything suddenly clicked in his head. Debby’s words earlier, her strange excitement and her sudden disappearance. Now it all made sense.“I don’t think it’s a bad idea,” Gabriel said quickly. “That’s why I agreed to it. And to be honest, Cherry isn’t a bad person. The way you both met was just wrong. She’s really pretty, and she’s in school studying a very good course. I don’t know, but you being with her could actually be a good thing. So I think you should use this opportunity to get close to her.”Nolan chuckled softly to himself as Gabriel spoke on the phone. He honestly didn’t understand why they were suddenly so interested in him being with Cherry. Gabriel had never cared about his love life before, so him suddenly caring now felt strange and a bit forced.Still, Nolan decided not to think too deeply about it. He chose to believe that Debby and Gabriel had good intentions. He didn’t bother pushing further or questioning Gabriel again. He felt the

Nolan realized that he had just been staring and hadn’t said anything in response to what Cherry said. He quickly pulled himself together and spoke.“Oh… it’s nothing,” he said. “I had totally forgotten about what happened. So it’s fine. It’s all fine.”To Nolan, since Cherry had apologized, everything was settled. He wasn’t the type to hold on to things or drag issues longer than necessary. In his mind, the matter was over, and there was no need to talk about it again or bring it up in the future.However, deep down, Cherry wasn’t happy at all. She felt uncomfortable and unsatisfied.She felt like she deserved an apology too. In her heart, she believed Nolan had disgraced her that day, and now she was the only one apologizing while he said nothing about his own actions. That didn’t sit well with her at all.But she couldn’t talk about it and that made her feel even worse.If she could speak up and say how she felt, it would be different, but she couldn’t. She had been warned, advised

“You’re not deceiving him,” Debby replied. “And if at all, you’re doing him a favour. You’re the one that told me that after Savannah broke up with him, he hasn’t been with anyone else since then. We’re literally doing him a favour by introducing him to a beautiful girl like Cherry.”“Hm… okay then,” Gabriel said slowly. “You’re not lying. So let’s hope that Nolan and Cherry are a good match because, you know, they started off on the wrong foot.”A few hours later, at the restaurant, Debby was seated with Cherry, telling her what she should do and what she shouldn’t do when Nolan arrived.“You must be a bit nicer to him,” Debby said. “In fact, I mean extra nice.”Cherry nodded, biting her lips as she checked her watch.“I thought you said you told him to come by 2 p.m.,” Cherry said impatiently. “It’s already almost two, and he should have been here by now.”She wasn’t comfortable with the idea that she had to be the one waiting for Nolan to show up. She believed that men were suppose

Cherry took a deep breath as she slowly sipped her drink, thinking about everything Debby had said. For about three months now, her dad’s company had been facing serious problems.Her dad had invested in a startup company that he thought had big potential, so he went all in. He didn’t know he was being deceived so he got scammed and that scam led to bankruptcy for the company because their finances started dipping really badly.Her father had to keep borrowing money and taking loans just to pay his employees, but it wasn’t working and no matter what he did, the situation kept getting worse. This was one of the reasons Cherry had tried to get close to James. She knew about Natural Bebe and how being in a relationship with James could help her dad’s company.James had been making a lot of mouth, talking about how he would be the next managing director of his father’s company and that alone gave Cherry more reasons to move closer to him but what she didn’t expect at all happened at the re

The next morning, in a café downtown, Debby and Cherry were seated across from each other, drinking coffee and having a conversation.The café was quiet and calm, with only a few people around, but Cherry’s voice was loud and filled with disbelief.“Are you serious right now, Debby?” Cherry asked sharply. “I really can’t believe you called me out for something like this. Is this some kind of joke, or aren’t you listening to what you’re saying?”“You want to set me up with Nolan!?”“Yes, I want to,” Debby replied calmly. “Besides, you’ve already broken up with James. Or more like, both of you couldn’t even go further with your relationship.”“And also, Nolan is single, so why don’t the both of you give it a try? At least talk and think about dating each other first. Who knows? It might actually happen.”“You must be kidding, Debby,” Cherry scoffed, shaking her head slightly. “Look at me. Do you really think that I’m suitable for that guy?”“Uhm… yeah,” Debby replied without hesitation.
