Especially now, a man like Jeffrey, who held such a high position, had to be surrounded by endless temptations.
Rachel knew his feelings for her were real.
But... could this kind of love really last into the future?
"I will never fall for anyone else. In this lifetime, I'll only love you," Jeffrey said. "So if I mess up in other things, you'll forgive me, right?"
His voice sounded like he was hoping she would say yes, but there was also a playful tone mixed in.
"Yes," Rachel replied quietly.
Right after she said that "yes," he pulled her into a tight hug again. "Rachel, don't forget what you promised me today. Never forget!"
It felt like the promise she made just now was something super important...like something she could never take back or pretend didn't happen.

In the bathroom, Rachel looked at her flushed cheeks.
Even though it had been a while since she hugged and kissed Jeffrey back in the living room, the blush still hadn't gone away at all.
