“Yes, sir.”
The two men in black quickly hauled the middle–aged man away.
Halsey glanced at Dwight before turning to walk off.
Dwight lengthened his strides, following closely behind her.
Halsey quickened her pace, hoping to lose him in the crowd. However, Dwight’s long legs kept him right on her heels.
“Stop following me!” she snapped.
She burst out of the casino and into the open air, but in her rush, she twisted her ankle and collapsed to the ground.
Halsey mentally cured herself. It seemed like everything was going wrong today–she couldn’t catch a break.
Sitting on the ground, she heard a low, smooth voice from above. “Are you okay?”
Looking up, she saw Dwight standing over her. She was sitting on the pavement while Dwight stood tall, forcing her to tilt her head back to look at him.
He extended a hand toward her. “Here.”
He was offering to help her up.
Halsey didn’t want his help, so she tried to get up on her own.
But she couldn’t.
Before she could try again, Dwight grabbed her slender arm and, as easily as if she were a child, lifted her from the ground.
Halsey just stared at him. She had been angry just a moment ago, but she now realized he was surprisingly strong.
Dwight looked at her. “Don’t come back here. It’s not a place for you. Let me get you a cab so you can go home.”
He stood by the curb and flagged down a cab. The cab pulled over, and he opened the back door. “Get in.”
Halsey stood still, not moving. “Don’t you have anything you want to say to me?”
Dwight shrugged. “What is there to say?”
Halsey shot back, “What do you think?”
Dwight parted his lips slightly. “I don’t have anything to say. I’m busy right now. Don’t come looking for me again. Go home.”
With that, Dwight turned to walk away.
But he didn’t get far. A soft little hand reached out and grabbed his sleeve.
Dwight’s steps halted. He stood still for a few seconds, not turning around, clearly wanting to leave.
But the hand held tightly onto his sleeve, stopping him from walking away.
He cleared his throat. “Let go.”
Halsey shook her head. “I don’t want to.”
Dwight turned around. “Do you have something to say to me?”
Halsey stared at him. “Why are you here? Do you even know what this place is for? You’re so smart, you could make money doing anything. Why did you choose this path?”

Her eyes were filled with confusion and disappointment. She just couldn’t understand why he had chosen this life. She needed
an answer.
Dwight looked at her and remained silent.
Halsey continued, “I don’t like this place. Come away with me. You want to make money, right? I’m not good at studying; I’ll pay you to be my tutor. How about it?”
Dwight gently pulled her hand away. “Thanks, but no, thanks.”
He turned to leave.
But just as he did, Halsey suddenly threw herself at him, wrapping her arms tightly around his back.
Dwight’s body stiffened, his muscles locking up from the unexpected contact.
Halsey clung to him, her voice full of determination.
“My dad agreed we can be together. He even said that if we stay together, he’ll let you manage our family business. I know you don’t like that idea, so I’ll invest in you. I’ll help you start your own company. Right now, the internet and e–commerce are booming, and with your brains, you can make it huge. This is the path you should be on.”
