“I have known him since I hit puberty,” she said in aduhkind of way.

I rolled my eyes as if she could see me.

“Remember the hot guy on those magazine covers, who I had a mega crush on?”

“Yeah … wait, it’s this Adrian?”

“Yes.”

I didn’t know how to feel about that. She’d had a crush on him. She’d even stalked him on social media. I remembered how she’d always kept herself busy with sport and business magazines, just reading about him and staring at his pictures. She’d had posters of him on her wall and made him a scrapbook.

“You’ll be happy to know he is twenty-six. He was a popular swimmer before going into business school, and he dated—”

“I’m not interested.”

“Oh, come on. He is hot and very attractive.”

“You can have him.”

“I’m so jealous you get to be in the same room with him.” She groaned. “At least you have someone that hot to keep your mind off thatcabrón.”

“I’m not looking for a rebound, jeez. I called you, so you could convince me not to trust him and that he is no good, like you always do when those creeps try to hit on me.”

“That’s blasphemy,” she gasped.

I rolled my eyes and scoffed.

“Vina,” I groaned.

“Sorry, but what are you so afraid of if he is as nice as you say?”

“I don’t know. He seems like a friendly person, but I’m scared it is just a facade to cover up Tristan’s ass.”

“Is that all?”

“Grey,” I confessed.

“Look, let Grey believe whatever he wants, but you need to move on. What he did was very stupid. You don’t wanna return to someone who is quick to believe what people say about you.”

“I just wanna talk to him.”

“Your choice. Do whatever your heart wants,” she said before mumbling something in Spanish, which sounded like an insult.

“So, what about Adrian?” I asked.

“Keep up the friendship. He might snitch on Tristan. Don’t get too comfortable though.”

“I swear you have the answer to everything,” I praised her.

There was a knock on the door immediately after I finished my sentence.

“It’s open!” I screamed.

I was expecting Morris to open the door, but it was Adrian. He gave me that charming smile and asked if he could come in.

“He’s here,” I whispered into the phone.

“Adrian Parker is in front of you?!” Vina screamed loud enough for him to hear.
