Sydney didn’t expect Dawn to be so cold. Her face twisted with anger. “Austin took care of you all these years, and you don’t even worry about him?”
“What’s the point of my worrying about him?” Dawn didn’t want to waste time with her. Her voice stayed calm. “Besides, if he won’t answer you, that just proves he doesn’t want to. Can’t you see that?”
“I’m busy. I don’t have time to argue with you. Do whatever you want.”
Dawn had barely turned to leave when Sydney suddenly snapped. She rushed forward like a madwoman, yanked Dawn’s hair, and shouted, “Can’t I see that? You’re right! I’ll never be as shameless as you! Since you talk like that, you must know where Austin is, right? Tell me! Where is he?”
Caught off guard, Dawn almost stumbled, but she quickly reacted. She grabbed Sydney’s arm and shoved her hard, sending her crashing to the floor.
“If you’re sick, go see a doctor. Don’t lose it here!”
Sydney ignored the pain. She pushed herself up and blocked Dawn’s path, her eyes red as she sneered. “If you don’t tell me where Austin is, I won’t let you leave today!”
Dawn looked at her with pity and disgust.
<i>Is </i><i>Austin </i><i>really </i><i>the </i><i>only </i><i>reason </i><i>this </i><i>woman </i><i>existed</i><i>? </i>
Loving someone to this extent was just twisted.
She sighed. “I don’t know where he is. And it’s none of my business. You’re asking the wrong person.”
“You … ” Sydney froze mid–sentence. Her eyes caught on the faint purple mark near Dawn’s corbone. Her breath hitched. She raised her hand and swung at Dawn. “I knew it! You’re nothing but a cheap slut! Getting that close to your own uncle? I’ll teach you a lesson!”
The p was about tond when something sharp shed in Dawn’s eyes. She caught Sydney’s wrist mid–air. “Did you really think you could push me around so easily every time?”

Sydney’s face drained of color. “You … you…
“What?”

Dawn shoved her away. Sydney staggered back like a kite with its string cut,nding hard on the couch.
When she looked up again, her hatred was naked in her eyes. “Dawn, you’ll die a horrible death!”
“Let’s wait and see,” she spat. “I’ll tell everyone what you and Austin have been doing. Don’t you want fame? Don’t you want to be a jewelry designer? Once your reputation’s ruined, let’s see who still buys your work!”
Sydney’s words were vile, but Dawn’s face stayed nk. She stepped closer, one slow step at <i>a </i>time.
“Then go ahead and try.” Dawn’s eyes carried a rare, icy edge. “Even if there was something between me and Austin–which there isn’t–what could you do about it?”
Sydney had never seen Dawn like this before. The cold pressure made her instinctively retreat.
People from inside finally rushed out to see what was going on.
Sydney panicked and jabbed her finger toward Dawn. “Didn’t you see her hit me? Call the cops!”
But everyone could tell Sydney was the one causing trouble. A coworker immediately called security, and the guards escorted her out.
Dawn stood with her back to everyone, her hand still clenched in a fist. She didn’t rx until Janice’s voice came from behind. Dawn turned, her voice hoarse. “I’m fine.”
Janice studied her carefully. “Who was that woman? You two were really going at it.”
“Nobody important,” Dawn said with a small smile, then went back to her desk. She pretended to be busy, but the act only made her look more fragile.
The more Janice thought about it, the more wrong it felt. And as a proper sidekick, she knew this had to be reported. She quickly typed a message and sent it straight to her boss.
By evening, everyone clocked out on time.
Dawn turned off the lights and sat alone at her desk.

When Dawn skipped a grade into middle school, her ssmates were all older than her. The boys were fascinated by the smart, pretty girl who seemed like their little sister.
It was the age when kids were first curious about love, and some boys even tried copying scenes from romance novels, writing their secret love letters.
Dawn always tossed them straight in the trash.
She didn’t understand those things, and she had no interest in them.
One day, right after the homeroom teacher walked in, a girl who had always disliked Dawn suddenly raised her hand.
“Teacher, Dawn’s dating too early!”
That phrase was like a bomb.
The teacher immediately stopped the lesson. With a stern face, she started questioning Dawn on the spot.
