No One But You

"Don’t you feel good to be misunderstood by Calvin?" Brooke's voice was cool, and I could hear the irony.

I turned around, grinning. "Why did you say that?"

"You just like to pretend to be strong."

I didn't care. It was the way it is.

I got under the quilt and went back to sleep, without knowing what Brooke was doing.

Even if he helped me, I won't appreciate him.

He owed me.

As soon as I closed my eyes, the look of Calvin appeared in my mind, lingering.

I woke up late. I was the most arrogant one in the family. Every young generation greeted Master Knight in his room in the morning.

But I didn’t. Since Calvin and Brooke got a job, so they got up very early in the morning.

I was unemployed. If I greeted him in the early morning, I could not sleep again.

Anyway, I was not going. Maybe I was not going to stay with the Knight family for the rest of my life, so I was afraid nothing. And they could not do anything with me.

I woke up and sat on the bed in a daze, shouting at Stella, but I had no response. I had to call her, and she took a while to come in.

"Josephine." She ran out of breath, “You wake up, I will get your clothes."

"No, I'll take the clothes myself. I'm not without hands and feet." I got out of bed. "I want you to hang out with me."

"Can you wait a minute?" She watched my face carefully. "Please?"

"Are you busy?" Brooke said I can use Stella. She had nothing to do besides staying with me.

"Today is the eighth anniversary of the Splendid Crystal. Mrs. Georgia asked us to prepare things for today."

"What is Splendid Crystal?"

"It's the Women Committee, an organization that speaks for women."
