Chapter 208 Fawning Over Him

• It was almost bedtime when Ivan dropped me a text: I'm sorry, Erica. I never meant to be rude to you. I acted impulsively earlier, and I apologize for that. I hope you can forgive me. I accepted Ivan's apology but also made it clear that we could no longer be friends. That, unfortunately, did not sit well with him. Not wanting to explain any further, I decided to turn my phone off and retire for the night.
• When Augustus saw how irritated I had become, he took my phone and promptly deleted Ivan's number. That made Ivan the second person Augustus had deleted from my contacts without my permission, the first being Jackson. Upon questioning why he had done that yet again, Augustus merely shrugged it off with a laugh. “I'm only helping you to get rid of an unwanted nuisance.”
• I knew Augustus was right. After the ugly fight that Ivan and I had, the chances of us staying friends were slim, so there was no longer any point in holding on to his number.
