The other nine had settled into stable careers.
Only Logan was still drifting, miserable all day. He cried and begged me, asking to work at the hospital.
Witnessing that stirred Abigail’s sympathy.
In the end, I agreed.
When he later mixed up drug categories during procurement and caused a major loss, I didn’t even ask him to compensate.
So, why did I change my mind?
Harrison's POV
Because little by little, he crossed the line.
Instead of trying to improve himself, he spent all his energy clinging to Abigail, hoping to ride on her coattails. To make her laugh, he didn’t hesitate to humiliate me.
Eventually, it escalated into open provocation.
He slipped a cockroach into my lunchbox. He swapped the warm water in my cup for boiling water, nearly a hundred degrees.
And every time, it ended with the same excuse that it was just a prank.
I lost my temper more than once.
But Abigail only said, “That’s what young people are like, full of energy, lively, even cute.”
Even this time, I still foolishly held onto a sliver of hope that the ending would be different.
But how stupid and laughable I was to even dream of that.
