Lie To Me

Chapter 41: 41

"What was that, Jia?" Hanz asked, he was following me to my office. "When did you become so friendly

to random guys," he added.

I rolled my eyes. "He's not just a random guy, Hanzel. He is our boss," I said.

"What's your problem?" I had to ask.

He's acting so weird.

Hanzel squinted hid eyes. "Is the guy your ex and his wife setting up to you?"

I shook my head. "He's not, Hanzel. Calm your shit, alright?" I said.

Duh. I won't tell him that he was right.

Not in that judgmental eyes of him.

Hanzel tsk-sk and rolled his eyes. "Stop associating yourself to that guy. Remember, he hurt you once."

I laughed to that. "Come on, Hanz. That's been ages ago! Move on, okay? Besides, I'm perfectly fine."

"He's you ex-boyfriend, Jianna. You can't be friends with your ex." He said.

"Who says?" I asked.

Russell and I are already have moved on. We're good. Same with Maxine and I. I honestly don't see

anything wrong with our set up; it's not as if I'm trying to steal Russell to Maxine.

God.

That's gross.

"Believe me, Hanz. There is more probably that I stayed single the rest of my life than I come back to

my ex-boyfriend who got married recently," I said. "Goodness, Hanzel. Give me some pride, alright?" I

added when he continued staring at me judgmentally.

He rolled his eyes.

"Just don't fall in love again with the wrong guy," he said.

I laughed again. "How am I supposed to know if a guy is a wrong guy and a write guy? Does they have

an x and check marked in their forehead?" I asked, teasing him a bit.

Hanzel scoffed at me. "There were red flags that we called, Jianna Astrid. You must check if he is

showing red flags as early as possible so you could step backwards immediately." He said.

I rolled my eyes. "Of course, I know that!"

"Why are asking me, then?"

"Because you're annoying," I said, laughing. Hanzel glared at me and shook his head. "Seriously,

Hanz. I can take care of myself. I think, I'm old enough to handle myself," I said.

"You think? You're not even sure, Jia. You're stressing me," he said.

I laughed agai. "Umuwi ka na nga. Huwag mo sa akin ibunton ang frustration mo kay Eli, ha!" I said.

He shook his head again.

Honestly, I appreciate his concern. Ever since. Hanzel didn't only acts as a best friend, he's also like a

big brother and I love him for that. I cherish his existence in my life.

I know I would be in where I am and I would be the person I am today without him.

Hanzel is one of those person who helped me to be the version of myself today. He helped me learned

and realized, he introduced me to the bravest side of me.

Without Hanzel, I would have stil the weak Jiana Astrid who cries about his ex-boyfriend.
