Chapter 1064 The Terrible News (1/2)

'But even if I caught up with Michelle, what would be the point?

Can I comfort her as her friend or as something else?' Ray wondered.

He looked at Michelle's receding back with a complex expression settling on his face, and he felt a sense of despair.

At that moment, the cell phone, which was in his pocket, suddenly rang.

Ray quickly concealed his low spirits and answered the phone in a calm and gentle voice. ”Hello, Emily!”

He had more or less predicted that Emily would make this call because of Michelle.

It turned out that he had guessed correctly.

”Ray, are you okay? What is your relationship with Michelle? Do you have anything to do with Michelle's photos? Did you really show them to everyone?”

Emily asked anxiously. From her worried voice on the phone, Ray knew that she really cared about him. But before he could decide how to answer Emily's questions, she added, ”How are you feeling now? Are there journalists in front of your house? Are you hurt? Do you feel okay?”

Emily bombarded Ray with a lot of questions out of concern. But he didn't know what to say to her.

Her words filled Ray with a supreme warmth that eased his worries. He relaxed a little and his lips curved upward into a smile. He really enjoyed this feeling of being cared about.

”Take it easy. I'm fine!” Ray responded briefly.

”Then Michelle and you...?” Emily asked tentatively after hearing his reply. His voice made her breathe a heavy sigh of relief.

She had been really worried about Ray and was afraid that he was being used by Michelle. But on the other hand, she knew that it was his private business, so she had also wondered whether it would be appropriate to ask him about it.

”There is nothing between us. When I ran into her that night, she had gotten drunk, and I couldn't find her cell phone to call someone for her. So, I brought her back to my place.”

Ray made a full disclosure to Emily and sighed with relief at having been able to tell the truth to someone who would listen.
