---- Chapter 105 Tara sat up at once and got out of bed without any trouble this time. She couldn't bring herself to look at Lance and said, "I'll... leave now." She heard him hum a response and paused. She asked, " About that... I haven't made up my mind yet. Could you keep some distance from me in front of others?" Lance lowered his gaze, his voice dropping a notch. " What's the reason?" Tara hurriedly explained, "I'm still working here. It wouldn't look good..." Lance understood.

"Make your decision soon." Tara nodded quickly and rushed out of his room. It was just after 3:00 pm, so it wasn't too late. She walked downstairs and acted like nothing had happened. Since there wasn't much work to do, no one noticed she had disappeared. She returned to her room and changed out of her work uniform. Not only was it somewhat wrinkled, but she felt ---- a little clammy all over. Tara blushed and patted her forehead, trying to block out the images in her head.

She took a quick shower and put on a fresh uniform before heading back to work. While she kept her hands busy, her mind was a tangled mess. She had planned to disappear after three months, but now she might have to leave early. Lance and Soren were both coming on too strong, and Tara couldn't handle it. But still, she didn't know if leaving early would mean breaking free from the original story.

"Tara, where were you earlier?" Betty had gone looking for Tara after her break but couldn't find the latter anywhere in the villa. Tara pretended nothing happened and said, "I overslept a little and forgot to tell Mr. Oakley." Betty didn't question Tara's explanation. She said a little wistfully, "Stella left." Even Hailey, who had always given Betty a hard time, suddenly became easier to get along with. Suddenly, Betty felt like she could finally breathe.

As Tara cut some fruits, she gave Betty a quiet hum. Stella ---- had left without a word. It surprised Tara, but she had been too caught up to think about it. The female lead in the book had left the male lead's sphere. Tara figured the story would pick up again outside the villa, where their paths would cross again. Tara didn't dare fall for Lance. To have desire was fine, but she wouldn't develop feelings for him.

She didn't want to get hurt, and she was also scared the plot might force itself back on track. If that happened, she would only end up heartbroken. In her past life, she had never dated. She only ever cared about making money and didn't have time for love. After all, that took time and effort. She was dead set on saving money, and no one could drag her out of it. Betty only felt a little sentimental about Stella leaving.

What really worried her was that Tara might quit before she did, and she didn't want Tara to leave. Tara was arranging the fruit platter when she looked up and saw Betty watching her with a sorrowful gaze. It confused her. "What's wrong?" Tara asked. Betty mumbled, "If you're leaving, you must tell me ---- earlier." She wanted time to prepare a goodbye gift. Tara couldn't help but chuckle.

"If that day comes, I'll be sure to tell you beforehand." Betty clung to her arm like a child, all clingy and sweet. Aman suddenly cleared his throat at the fruit bar. Tara and Betty looked up at the same time. As Soren watched Betty cling to Tara's arm, a trace of displeasure showed in his eyes. "Tara, bring a fruit platter to the recording room," Soren. said. Tara didn't catch the sharpness in his gaze and replied quickly, "Yes, Mr.

Farrell." Soren's ice gaze swept over Betty, who still clung to Tara. Shoving his hands into his pockets, he walked away. Betty might be innocent, but she knew how to read people, especially when someone like Soren gave such a clear warning. She stared at the empty doorway and asked, confused, " Tara, did you notice the way Mr. Farrell looked at me? It was pretty scary!" Tara looked up blankly and glanced at the doorway. "I ---- didn't notice." Betty let go of Tara's arm and rubbed her own. "That look he threw at me gave me chills."
