My Only Love: The Targeted Heiress

At the beginning of Cathy's meeting with Vincent, Cathy didn't feel anything about this handsome young man. She didn't even care whether this man liked her or hated her.

But this man managed to get into her heart and make her feel excited until she admits that she has feelings for him.

After realizing her own feelings, Cathy felt like she could act like herself and feel comfortable with him.

But somehow, the man's mood suddenly changed because he knew that Star Risen's boss had temporarily dismissed her.

Is the man disappointed? She should have ignored it, but for some reason, her heart hurt, and she became sad knowing that the man was disappointed in her?

Cathy couldn't answer and just lowered her head gloomily.

Vincent immediately regretted his words when he saw the girl next to him, bowed her head sadly.

He didn't mean to be angry... no... he was. But not at Cathy. He was mad with Benjamin for treating Cathy too generous. Whereas previously, he was sure that Benjamin had a thing for Felicia, but why did his cousin treat Cathy like a precious person? Then what about Felicia?

Vincent sighed, not wanting to spoil the atmosphere between them because he was annoyed with his cousin.

"Looks like you won't be busy for the next few weeks. What are you going to do in your spare time?" Vincent immediately changed his tone to normal and friendly again. He even deliberately changed the topic of their conversation to make Cathy speechless.

Cathy stared at the man in bewilderment seeing the young man's mood changing rapidly. Actually, what was this man thinking?

"It depends," came the short answer before continuing her words. "Sometimes, I will accompany my sisters wherever they want, or I will accompany them to play cards at home. For the past few days, we have been busy with household activities such as cleaning the room or rearranging things in the warehouse."

"So the point is you're going to spend your free time with your siblings, right?"

"You can say that."

"How about you? Do you have anything you want to do yourself?"

Cathy blinked her eyes, thinking about the answer to that unexpected question. What does she want to do? Before this, Cathy had only done what she had to do. Cathy will be happy to do it if she feels it is her duty whether she likes it or not.

"I think nothing in particular,"

"None at all?"

"Uhm... if there is something I'd like to do, maybe... I will do what my siblings need."

Cathy wasn't lying. If she had free time, she would go up to her younger siblings and listen to everything they complain about.

If they were at school, Cathy would only go to the library to read books that could add to her work insights. 

She felt that what she was doing was her job, and it didn't matter whether Cathy wanted it or not, but it was what she had to do. She's just doing her duty.

Is there something wrong with that?

"That means you never have fun. No, you don't seem to know how to have fun."

"I know how to have fun."

"Really? Let me guess… you had fun with your sister."

Cathy could not argue because the man's guess was right. She even couldn't speak a word when she saw the man smirked at her. Now Cathy wished to get out of here. For the first time ever, she wanted to run away from someone. And yet, she still wanted to be with that man.

How confusing!

Cathy sighed softly at her thoughts. She had never felt this strange feeling before. Lucky for her, her worry was lifted when she saw the bus she was going to take had arrived.

"My bus has arrived. I'll go home first," stated Cathy hurriedly as she got on the bus.

Vincent grinned, seeing the girl tried to escape from him.

"You think you can run away that easily?" he muttered, which Cathy could not hear before he came up to follow the girl.

Cathy's eyes widened when she saw Vincent join the bus and was even more surprised when the man chose to sit beside her. She tried to calm her pounding heart with one hand while looking at the view outside the window.

"I think I'll go home too," Vincent said casually. "My house is in the Blue Rosemary cluster, you?"

"You live in Blue Rosemary?"

"Hm... something strange?"

"Ah, no. What a coincidence I live in Red Rosemary."

"Really?" Vincent pretended to be surprised to find that they live in the same housing but different clusters.

Well, he did know where that girl lived beforehand. He deliberately provoked the girl by telling her where he lived first. "If you do live there, don't you have a private car and driver? Why bother taking public transportation?"

She didn't own it at all. It all belonged to her uncle. Cathy thought to herself. Even the house in Red Rosemary belonged to her uncle.

How could she possibly use those facilities when her uncle hated her and her sisters?

Even when her uncle came back into their lives, Cathy sometimes feels reluctant to use her uncle's facilities. Besides, she was very used to going by public transportation.

"I prefer to take public transportation," answered Cathy briefly. "How about you? You also live in Rosemary. Why don't you use your private car?"

"I prefer to walk. That way, I will get lots of scenic material for my inspiration," answered Vincent with a smile.

"You're so mysterious. Did you know that?"

Vincent was stunned by Cathy's unexpected statement. "How is so?"

"I don't know. At first, I thought you were cold and prejudiced at someone quickly. Then I thought, ah, this person doesn't want to follow the rules at all. He's acting casually. A second later, you act like a savior that makes me admire you."

Cathy had no idea that every single one of her words made a certain heart beat fast.

"Then I thought you didn't have a steady job and were having a hard time making a living. But the next second, you said you lived in Rosemary, which means you don't have to worry about making a penny. I just can't find out what kind of someone you are.. You're so mysterious."
