When Geoffrey left the roo out of the building Her shoulders were slumped, and he saw her wipe her tears with her hands He felt that she looked too pitiful, so he chased after her

When he reached her, he pulled her to an inconspicuous corner behind the ?"

Emily hiccupped as she said "I… I just feel bad about ht that if I were able to best everyone else, I would deserve to stand beside you But… my efforts were just in vain You are beyond my reach"

"you don't have to work so hard to stand beside me" He said as he shook his head

"but I want to… and I hope you won't be angry hat I a for permission

"I won't so do tell me"

"earlier, I felt even worse because… it made me realize that Serena was much better thanand everyone likes her I do believe that your heart for me is true, but I know that it is still her that you're bound to marry and I'm afraid that she will move your heart"

Geoffrey shook his head re how Serena responded to his offensive re, but he did not expect that his airhead looking fiancee will catch on to hisretort

"Emily, don't compare yourself to others You should focus on yourself You are kind and hard-working, and I believe you will reach further heights in the future Do not let so and have ht sed him back as she nodded her head
