Lie To Me

Chapter 35: 35

Days pass too fast. Unbeknownst to me as the days passed, I became too busy with the happenings in

my life. I was so occupied by my work that I was shocked to know that it had been a year. If it wasn’t for

Facebook that notified the pictures during the outing, I won't know.

"Who's that?" Reysa asked Hans. It even looked at me to answer.

I shrugged. "I don't know as well, don’t look at me. What I know is, I can't hang out at his house one

day all of a sudden." I said.

Reysa's in the City too. Apparently, she had a relationship with his officemate, but they didn't work out.

She said she couldn't stand seeing the guy anymore so she decided to resign and leave.

Seems familiar.

"Come on, Hans. Spill it." She repeated.

"Calm down, Reysa. I will introduce her to both of you later." Hans said.

"You have been telling us that but it's not happening." Reysa commented.

"You're naughty." Hans just said and left. The two of us were left at the table.

We were on a lunch date.

"Are you dating a she or a he?" Reysa asked again.

I laughed. She had given up with her fantasy about Hans and I. There was really no hope, she finally

realized. And now, this is what she is busy with, finding out who's Hans’ lover.

"You're crazy. You'll hear about it later." Hans said.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

She's been so curious and Hans has been so secretive. He didn't even want to tell us the name, I even

asked Mikael, but he just shrugged on me. He said he didn't know and he didn't care.

Sus! If I hadn't known ...

"When is that later, Hansel. You have been telling us that for days already."

"Today, Reysa. She’ll be here today so calm down. Just wait, okay?" He said.

She gave up eventually.

These two, they have been good friends to me. Through my ups and downs, they were there. No

doubt.

"Jia, look at that. It's so hot, are you suicidal, girl?" She said, pointing at the woman passing in front of

us. And I couldn't disagree.

Why do you wear a turtleneck and coat in the middle of summer? She doesn't look like she's in the

office so ... I don't know.

"Stop it, someone might hear you." I told her.

She snorted but stopped.

"What time Hans will come back? Didn’t he ditch us?" she said.

Hans hasn't come back yet, he just told us that he’ll go to the washroom.

"Call him,” she ordered me.

I did. I called him. But after three calls, I still don't answer.

"Not answering, let’s just wait for him. He won’t leave without telling us." I said.

But it doesn't listen to what I'm saying. It looked behind me and was in shock. I turned to see what she

was looking at and I almost fell off my seat.

Hans came back and was accompanied by a little girl in a school uniform.
