Chapter 1106 Nothing Stays Hidden Forever
Wesley didn't budge. Elijah started to freak out. "Wesley, get outta here! If someone catches us together, it's gonna be a mess."
Wesley just stared at her. "Wouldn't it be better if it did? Once everyone knows you're carrying my kid, Samantha and I are done."
Elijah's voice cracked, "Wesley, what's wrong with you? I know you're pissed, but now's not the time to be stubborn. Don't you care about your rep?"
Wesley smirked, "You're such a drama queen! When you were all over me, did you think about my rep? You knew if this got out, I'd be screwed. So why'd you sleep with me when I was wasted?"
Elijah choked up again. She swallowed hard and grabbed Wesley's hand. "Wesley, blame me if you want. But I really like you. When we hooked up, I just wanted to be with you, even if it was just once."
But I didn't think I'd get pregnant from that one time. So I got greedy and wanted to keep the baby. Now the baby's gone, and my plan's shot. I know you don't like me, and I get that. I just hope you don't hate me and let me stay as your assistant."
Elijah tried to sound sincere, hoping to soften him up.
Wesley shook her hand off. "I don't need you anymore."
Elijah's heart sank, and her eyes filled with tears again. "Why are you so cold? I've worked my butt off for you for years. Even if I haven't done much, I've tried."
She paused, "Are you scared Samantha will find out? I promised I'd keep this secret forever, and I won't let her know."
Wesley looked at Elijah, feeling a mix of emotions. "Nothing stays hidden forever. You say she won't know, but will she really not find out?"
Wesley once thought what happened between him and Elijah would stay a secret forever. But that was impossible.
Elijah looked at Wesley, sensing something was off. "Wesley, did something happen? Did Samantha find out?"
Wesley sneered, "Yeah, thanks to you, Samantha and I just broke up."
Elijah's heart skipped a beat, not knowing whether to be happy or sad. Wesley and Samantha had just patched things up, and now they broke up again. She wondered if it was really over this time.
"Why'd you break up? Did Samantha find out I was pregnant with your kid?" Elijah asked.
"Yeah, are you happy now?" Wesley said.
Elijah swallowed, "I'm sorry, Wesley. I never wanted her to find out. I'll call her right now and say the baby's someone else's."
Wesley sneered, "No need to fake it."
"I didn't," Elijah quickly denied, "Wesley, believe me, I didn't want you two to break up because of me."
Wesley said, "You're scared my career will tank because of you, right?"
Elijah's eyes flickered, and she stayed quiet. What Wesley said was true.
If people found out Wesley broke up with Samantha because he had a kid with Elijah, his career would be toast, and she'd be hated. He'd never accept her.
"Elijah, do you really like me?" Wesley suddenly asked.
Elijah snapped back to reality and nodded like crazy. "Yeah, Wesley, I really like you."
"Even if I got nothing, you'd still like me?"
"Wesley, no matter what, I like you." Elijah was trying hard to save face in Wesley's eyes.
Wesley stared at her. "For real? I'm dropping a bomb soon. Starting tomorrow, I'm officially quitting the music biz! Without the superstar glow, you still gonna like me?"
'Wesley's quitting music? He's lost it!' Elijah stared at him, totally shocked. "Wesley, you're kidding, right? You've busted your ass to get here. Don't do something stupid, okay?"
Wesley saw the panic in her eyes, a smirk playing on his lips. "I'm dead serious. Can't handle it? Knew it, you never keep it real. You like my cash and fame, not me."
Wesley suddenly remembered Samantha's calm, decisive voice. "I love and hate with all my heart. If I like someone, I like them. If it's wrong, I cut it off."
Wesley thought Samantha was the real deal. No matter what he became, she'd always love him. Too bad he wasn't lucky enough to keep her.
Wesley pushed down his sadness and turned to leave.
Elijah was stunned for a sec, then quickly shouted, "Wesley, wait. Listen, I can handle it. I really like you, singer or not."
Wesley paused, slightly turning his head to look at her. "You really like me?"
"Yes," Elijah said urgently, "But please, think it through before you do anything. Don't regret it."
Elijah was really scared Wesley would quit music out of spite. That wasn't what she wanted.
Wesley's face turned cold again. He realized Elijah's love was still all about his fame and fortune, no matter what she said.
Wesley didn't say a word and walked away.
"Wesley, did you hear me?" Elijah looked desperate. She thought, 'Is Wesley really gonna quit music just 'cause he broke up with Samantha? How much does he love her?'
In the apartment, Alfred was cleaning up the kitchen after dinner with Samantha.
After finishing her meal, Samantha started to calm down. She got up to help clear the table.
Just then, Alfred's phone, which was on the table, buzzed with a message.
Samantha wasn't trying to snoop; the phone was just there, and it was hard not to see it.
Lykke had sent Alfred a message: [Wanna go camping tonight?]
The sender's nickname was: Her Junior.
Samantha blinked, curious. Seeing Alfred come out of the kitchen, she said, "Someone sent you a message."
Alfred asked, "Who?"
"The note says 'Her Junior.'"
Alfred glanced at her and picked up his phone.
Samantha picked up the plates and casually asked, "Who's that? Why such a weird name?"
Alfred put down his phone and grabbed the remaining plates to join her in the kitchen. "Your schoolmate."
Samantha instantly got it. "The girl who does high jump?"
"Yeah."
Samantha found it funny. "Doesn't she have a name? Why'd you save her like that?"
