The Contract Said No Strings Attached (Charlotte) novel Chapter 507

Rebecca was taken aback. 'You?'

Alan nodded. He still saw her as the same girl who had been cast out by the Foster family—a lonely young woman with no one to rely on in this city but him.

He said confidently, 'Come back to me, and you won't have to work. I'll support you. Of course, if you really want to work, you can be my secretary. Whatever you want.'

Rebecca laughed. 'Alan, you're getting ahead of yourself. I have no intention of changing jobs!'

Alan didn't understand. 'Why? Don't you want a better life? Or is it true what they say—that you've sold yourself and become Dylan's plaything?'

'They? Who are 'they'?' Rebecca asked with a frown.

Alan fell silent. 'They,' of course, were Katherine Foster and her mother, Gina, but he didn't dare say that.

He didn't want to make Rebecca angry.

'It's nothing. I just think you have a better opportunity right in front of you. Why would you choose to stay as Dylan's secretary?'

Rebecca looked Alan in the eye, her voice firm. 'Alan, listen carefully. I don't consider you a better option. It's impossible between us, so please stop entertaining these unrealistic fantasies. Secondly, I'm not short on money now. Who I work for is my choice, so please, don't come looking for me again.'

But Alan thought she was just putting on a brave face. He didn't believe she was struggling financially, nor that she no longer had feelings for him.

'Rebecca, are you worried about my engagement to Katherine? Let me tell you, with Katherine in prison, our engagement has been called off. I'm done with the Foster family for good. Please, don't be so cold to me, okay?'

Rebecca took a deep breath, exasperated. 'Alan, don't you understand? I don't love you anymore. I'm in love with someone else. It's over between us. I don't care whether you've ended your engagement or not.'
