Chapter 61
"Chelsea! Here!" Sienna waves to me.
The man next to her also turns around. Even though we're about three meters apart, I can feel his astonishment. Right, the man next to Sienna is Harrison's friend, Johan.
I stop moving and Sienna walks up to me. Waving her hand in front of me, she asks, "Why are you standing still?"
"Who is that guy?" I ask softly.
Sienna glances at Jonah and then says, "He is my Prince Charming."
She used to wear a ponytail, but today she's wearing long hair. She wears light make-up and a white lace dress, making her look pure and charming.
We stand in the doorway, and people keep whistling at us, or rather at her.
I don't know how she met Jonah, but my instinct tells me that they are not suitable for each other. They're not from the same world, just like Harrison and me.
I'm not saying that Sienna is not good enough for Jonah. It's just that she is too simple, and
Jonah is a complete playboy. I'm afraid she will get hurt.
"Okay, let me introduce you to him." Sienna takes me to Jonah.
Standing in front of Jonah, Sienna holds my shoulder and says, "Jonah, this is my best friend, Chelsea. She's got a great personality and she takes care of me like my sister." "Chelsea, this is my boyfriend, Jonah. I met him when I was studying abroad," she says with a sweet smile.
I nod and look up at Jonah. He's wearing a white shirt with an incomprehensible pattern, blue jeans, and white sneakers. He looks like a college student.
He throws a glance at me. With a scornful smile, he stands up from his chair.
"What a coincidence!" He pretends to be surprised.
Sienna looks at us, and finally fixes her eyes on me. "Chelsea, you know him?"
"I..." What should I say? I haven't told her about Harrison.
'Forget it. I have nothing to do with Harrison now, so I don't have to tell Sienna about him anymore.' With a smile, I say, "I met him a couple of times, but I don't really know him."
"I see. It's really a small world, isn't it?"
I force a smile and don't reply her.
Sienna sits between me and Jonah, telling me how they knew each other and became a couple. Also, she tells Jonah everything she knows about me.
I thought my relationship with Harrison was shocking enough, but now his friend is dating my bestie! My mind goes blank.
I wonder if I should tell Sienna everything. I don't think Jonah is her destiny. He's a playboy, but she needs a man she can trust. It's better not to start a relationship that's meant to have a bad ending. "Chelsea, what do you think?" Sienna suddenly asks me.
I look at her confusedly and ask, "What?"
She stares at me speechlessly, points to Jonah and says, "He said he'd take us to dinner. What do you think?"
"Thanks, but I need to go home now..."
"I don't care!" Sienna grabs my arm and acts like a baby. "You have to have dinner with us today. You can't say no!" "Miss Hodges, don't you want to eat with us?" Jonah asks.
I raise my head to look at him, not saying a word.
His eyes are full of provocation. I really want to take Sienna away now and ask her to break up with him, but I can't.
I look at Sienna and say, "I need to go the bathroom."
Standing in front of the mirror, I wonder whether I should tell Sienna everything.
I'm hesitant because Jonah is her first love. She's beautiful and kind, but she's very demanding of men. All she wants is a relationship that will lead to marriage. I'm sure she is very deliberate in her relationship with Jonah.
But I'm not sure whether Jonah thinks the same way.
"I thought you fell asleep in the bathroom."
The sudden voice startles me. When I look up, I see Jonah leaning against the wall and looking at me.
Ignoring his teasing, I ask seriously, "Jonah, are you serious about Sienna?"
"Does it have anything to do with you?" he asks.
"She's my best friend and we have known each other for nearly 20 years. I hope you to be nice to her," I speak seriously.
He sneers and looks me up and down with a disdainful look. "Chelsea, I'm not Harrison, so your opinion doesn't matter to me."
Jonah has always wanted me to leave Harrison, probably for the same reason I want Sienna to leave him.
All of a sudden, I realize that I have nothing to do with Harrison now. "Don't you always want me to leave Harrison? Congratulations. Your dream has cometrue!" "Really?" He's stunned for a moment and asks.
I nod heavily. "Yep. So if you're with Sienna just to get back at me, please break up with her. If you really like her, please give her your undivided attention."
I may have offended him by saying it, but I meant it. I don't want my best friend to suffer.
Jonah lowers his head. I don't know what he's thinking, so I get a bit anxious. "What do you mean..."
Suddenly, my phone rings. It's from my mom. I look at Jonah helplessly and decide to ask him after I answer the phone.
"Mom, I'm with Sienna now."
But the woman on the phone is not my mother. She says she is a nurse and my mom's in surgery right now.
Hearing this, my brain goes blank and my phone falls to the ground.
Jonah picks it up. "What's wrong with you? Why are you so excited?"
What the nurse said echoes in my ear. I take my phone back and run out without saying anything.
