Lie To Me

Chapter 18: 18

"He’s really following you." Reysa's response after I told her that Russel is now working under me in the

company over a video call.

I sighed.

To this day I still can't believe that fact.

Who would?

Even Hans suddenly rushed to my office when he found out that we could join the company of that one.

He almost kicked Mikael too because of that, I just stopped him and told him to let it go.

After all, we have been anticipating an encounter, not just in this situation.

"Why would he do that?" I asked.

I am calm now, unlike the previous days when I almost had a heart attack and fainted with

nervousness.

I realized, why am I the one feeling nervous?

Why it has to be me to run when I did nothing against him?

I didn't do anything wrong to him, so why do I still seem to be running away?

That's when I decided to practice what Reysa and Hans told me, get used to being there so I can move

on. And by far, I am doing great. Hans told me that.

"Maybe, he wants a comeback? I mean, he wants you back.”" She replied. I know she's mocking me.

"What are we, teenagers? In the movies?" I said. "We are too old for things like that." I added.

Sus! Come back, come back. It's only for those who truly love.

Then for what else, right?

Reysa laughed. “Don’t speak yet, Jianna. Who knows, he asks you to drop you and you give up This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

immediately,” she said.

"Nah. Shut up, Reysa," I replied. "I already have a car, that I will never happen.” I said.

Well, that was the start of us. Him: offering me a ride home which I happily accepted.

Who would want a free ride home, especially when you're so tired from work and don't have a ride yet?

Also, I didn't know that we would end up in this situation just because I allowed myself to stand on his

motorbike that night.

He was someone I had been acquainted with since grade school, I had no idea that man was stupid.

If I only knew, wouldn't I?

I could have avoided it.

She laughed.

"Edi if you don't have a car will you still ride with her?" she teased more. "He’s richer now. He no longer

drives a bike but a car, he has a 2019 Mitsubishi Expander. Just wow." She added.

I just stared.

Can I slap her mouth? She enjoyed teasing me again.

"Why do you seem to be gaining weight?" I asked instead.

"Bitch. That’s super below the belt?" She replied, rolling her eyes.

I laughed on that.

"Stop it or else I'll lash out at your mouth." She warned.

I just laughed even harder.

“You know what, I wish that Russell won’t stop coming after you,” she said, angrily.

"Your mouth!" I replied.

Reysa might say weird and nasty things sometimes, but she’s actually nice. She just loves teasing

me.
