Lie To Me

Chapter 45: 45

When Elijah said he will court me, I thought we will be all out courting me. But thankfully, he didn't.

He slowed down and lowkey courts me.

Regardlessly, I still don't approve to it. But no matter how many times I told him to stop, he won't listen.

He will just smile to me and continue.

Goodness.

[Hi.]

A text message I received from him.

It's weekend and I was at home, lazily attached to my bed.

[Aww. Ignored.]

He sent again.

My brows creased.

[I thought we are close now to receive a reply.]

Another one.

That made me laugh.

[Yes, Sir? Do you need anything?] I replied.

[Sir again?]

[Because you are my boss.] I said.

[You are hurting my feelings, Jianna Astrid. When will you consider me as someone you can be with

outside the office?] He texted back.

I can imagine how dramatic his face is as he types this message.

[Well, we can be friends outside the office.]

[More than friends, please?] He replied.

I shook my head.

[Friends...] I texted back.

[When will it be more than friends?] He insist.

God.

[You will not give it up, won't you?] I asked.

[Yap. I'm hundred percent in to it.] He replied.

I rolled my eyes and smiled a bit.

So stubborn.

[I can introduce you to a friend who's interested though.] I said.

[You are being mean right now, you know?] He replied.

I can't help but laugh to it.

[What's wrong with that? At least in my friend, you will be reciprocated.] I replied.

[I would be grateful if it was you, though.]

[Ang kulet mo.] I replied.

[I know.] He said.

I shook my head.

[Why did you text be kasi?] I asked then.

[Wow. Didn't know you're kinda conyo pala.] He replied.

I sent a rolling eyes emoji.

[Kidding. Anyway, I texted to ask you of you are free this afternoon. I got a ticket for your favorite band's NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

mini concert.]

My eyes widened upon reading that.

[Are being real?] I replied, feeling excited.

[Real na real. So, are you in?] He asked.

I rolled my eyes. Realizing that he's using bait to ask me out.

Huh! Clever.

[Did Russell sold me in again?] I asked.

It was only Russell who knows about my addiction to that band! And surely, he told Elijah about it.

[He's just being nice to help me. So?] He replied.

I shook my head again. [Okay.] I replied.

It's like I will get a chance to watch them everyday no!

This is a one time chance that I couldn't let to pass.

[Okay? As in you are in?] He asked.

[Yeah.] I confirmed.

[Alright. Do you want me to pick you up from your place or?]

[Let's just meet at the venue.] I replied.

I can't let Reysa see him. I know she will surely freak out like Hanzel.

Those two causes me headaches sometime. They are better left unknown of somethings.

[Alright. See you later, then?]

[See you later.] I replied.
