“It’s all right. I can manage on my own. You should go and focus on your work.”
Hank knew how much Yelena loved her job, so he wouldn’t allow her to cancel her filming just to accompany him.
“How about this? I’ll send you a video every day to put your mind at ease.”
Yelena felt somewhat reassured upon hearing this.
As she was leaving, she suddenly turned around and asked pitifully, “What’s our relationship now?”
Upon seeing her look so pitiful like a little kitten, Hank beckoned her closer with a wave of his hand.
When she leaned closer, he placed a kiss on her forehead.
“You’re my little girl.”
Forever.
Yelena tilted her head up and boldly launched a counterattack by kissing his lips.
Hank may be physically weak, but he exerted a lot of force during the kiss.
She almost thought he was pretending to be sick.
Just as the two of them were caught up in the kiss and reluctant to part, the door of the ward suddenly swung open.
“You two are…”
Yelena looked up and found that the person standing in front of her was Camilla.
A hint of disbelief flashed in Camilla’s eyes. “Have the two of you reconciled?”
Although Yelena knew that this first love was fake, she was still nervous and at a loss when Camilla suddenly appeared.
Hank squeezed Yelena’s hand which indicated that she shouldn’t worry.
“Camilla, your mission is over. I’ll transfer the money to your account, so you can leave.”
Camilla’s face instantly turned pale.
Just then, the food in Camilla’s hands fell to the ground.
“But I…”
“There’s no ‘but’. We’ve already made it clear. You were responsible for cooperating with me and acting in this play. Now that the play is over, your mission is also completed. You can leave.”
“Hank, I’ve been by your side for so long. Don’t you have any feelings for me?”
Camilla couldn’t believe that he could be so cold and heartless. She had spent every day of six whole months with him and had developed deep feelings for him.
She took a few steps forward as she intended to wipe away his sweat as she had done before, but he blocked her hand.
“Please maintain your boundaries. We no longer have any relationship.”
This implied that she didn’t need to do these things to move him.
Camilla felt her heart shatter.
She turned her head and saw Yelena standing by the side, looking bewildered and helpless.
She couldn’t help but feel that Yelena was pretending to be pitiful, especially the look of pity in her eyes when Yelena looked at her. Camilla felt like someone was cutting her heart with a knife.
In a rage, she reached out and pushed Yelena forcefully. “It’s all because of you! If it weren’t for you, I would be living a good life with Hank right now!”
Yelena, who was caught off guard, staggered backward and hit the table behind her.
Her back hit the table hard, which caused her to grimace in pain. “What are you doing? What does this have to do with me? What’s the point of pushing me?”
Yelena also felt wronged. This matter had nothing to do with her, and she had been completely unaware of it before. Why was Camilla treating her like this?
“Why are you treating me like this?”
Camilla looked at Hank on the bed with tears in her eyes.
“Everything was written clearly in the contract. I hope you won’t develop any feelings for me. You didn’t keep your promise.”
Camilla blinked, trying hard not to let the tears fall.
He was right. She had also promised not to develop any feelings for him, but emotions were not something that could be controlled.
She had long fallen in love with him during the time they spent together.
With that in mind, she tried to suppress her emotions while making herself appear less distraught.
“I understand now. I’m really sorry. I know what I should do.”
Although she lost control of her emotions just now, she knew what she should do after regaining her rationality.
After all, the person he truly liked had returned, and she was just a substitute.
Camilla turned to Yelena and slightly bowed to Yelena as an apology, and then left without looking back.
After watching Camilla’s desolate figure, Yelena couldn’t help but shake her head and sigh.
“What a pitiful person. I can’t understand how you came up with such a crude trick to deceive the feelings of an innocent girl.”
Hank’s forehead twitched with anger after he heard these words.
“What do you mean by deceiving the feelings of an innocent girl? It was clearly written in the contract not to develop any feelings toward the employer. She wasn’t able to control herself. It has nothing to do with me.”
Hank despised dealing with these unnecessary emotions the most.
“Is it really that easy to control emotions? You know very well that she might develop feelings for you,” Yelena muttered softly.
“Mr. Damazio, you’re really charming. Any young girl who gets close to you becomes infatuated.”
Those sarcastic words made him inexplicably pleased.
However, he would still explain things clearly.
“That’s not the case. I never suspected that she would develop feelings for me because I have never paid attention to her.”
Upon hearing such cold and heartless words, Yelena was also taken aback.
“You truly are a callous and heartless man.”
It was unclear whether this was a good or bad thing.
Hank turned to look at her seriously. “Others may say that about me, but you should know better. How dare you say that.”
Yelena stuck out her tongue. “I was just joking.”
“All right. Stop fooling around. You said you’re going back to work, so go back quickly.”
Yelena found it strange that he was urging her to leave in such a hurry.
“Why are you so anxious for me to leave? Is there something wrong? Don’t you want to see me?”
Hank rolled his eyes at Yelena for the first time since she knew him. “I want you to go back to work and not overthink things.”
“All right then. Take care of yourself.”
