Chi Ai leaned forward slightly. "You asked me for the truth. Now that you have it, what will you do?"
Luther closed his eyes for a moment. Then he opened them and looked straight at her.
"I'll fight back," he said. "I'll take back what's mine. I won't let him win."
Chi Ai nodded slowly, ready to stand up and leave. But before she could rise, Luther's voice stopped her.
"Wait," he said suddenly. His tone was quiet, but there was a weight to it.
Chi Ai lifted her brows slightly and looked at him. "What is it?"
Luther hesitated, then leaned forward. His eyes were serious. "If someday, you were given a chance to choose between a very influential person and a very wealthy person… who would you choose?"
For a brief second, Chi Ai froze. She didn't let her emotions show, but her heart paused for a beat. Then, in her usual calm voice, she answered, "I would choose whoever I share a very close relationship with."
Luther blinked, surprised. "Why so?"
