Alana was delicate and needy. Once she felt comfortable being flattered and she got used to it, she would occasionally treat Henry with some sweetness and a little bit of sincerity.
Henry was naturally grateful and loyal to her.
Unfortunately, in his senior year, Alana hooked up with a teacher from Orco named James.
To Alana, the temptation of moving abroad was much greater than having an obedient boyfriend.
She decisively dumped Henry and went abroad with 40-year-old James.
Henry was heartbroken and despondent, skipping classes every day.
I became his confidant, listening to him vent his pain and accuse Alana of being materialistic and heartless.
I could relate to him!
I knew better than anyone else that beneath Alana's charming look, there was such an ugly soul!
Both Henry and I were toyed with and bullied by Alana.
But Henry was active, and I was passive.
So, I sincerely comforted and cared for Henry.
After all, he was so handsome.
I was a vulgar woman. I judged others by their appearances.
So slowly, we got together.
I did my best to help Henry start a business.
The reason for my contributing such efforts was of course because of my feelings for him.
To be frank, I had my ultimate motives.
