Lie To Me

Chapter 12: 12

The word run won’t be enough to describe what I did earlier in the coffee shop, because I literally ran

out of the shop.

Shame almost engulfed me because I caught the attention of everyone inside the shop earlier, even

those outside and in and out and looked on as well.

The shop crew also chased me for my order but I ignored that. I just ran straight to the parking lot and

got into my car.

I was still panting but I didn't take long and immediately started my car's engine. I maneuvered it and

drove away, fast as I could.

"Fuck! What are you doing here?" I asked myself hysterically.

I immediately snatched my cell phone from my bag and dialed Reysa's number.

Three rings before she answered.

"You better make sure this call is important or else, Jiana. I'm in the middle of something!" She

answered.

"Reysa!" All I could say.

And maybe she sensed the tension on my voice. I heard the crack of his every step and the closing of

the door.

It’s Sunday and I don’t know what important thing he’s doing.

"Why? Did something happen?" She asked.

"God! He is here!" I said. I'm still letting go of some cheap ones.

"Watch your mouth, Jianna! Who are you taking abou—Holy God! He's there?" She shouted now,

realizing whom I meant. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

I couldn't answer and it's still very cheap. My hand was shaking so I parked my car on the side of the

road first.

"That stupid. That's why he resigned from the Power Plant." She said.

My eyes widen.

"Resigned?" I asked.

Why?

"Yes, Kyle said,” she confirms it.

I was then stunned.

That was his dream. You can work on one of the biggest power plans in Bataan, that's his dream. He

has long wanted to get in there. I see how he worked really hard for his position, I helped him.

So why?

"Why?" Before I could be stopped, I asked.

"I don’t know. Kyle didn't say anything and I'm not interested either." She answered.

I took a deep sigh.

I don't have to ask either. I don't have to care about that decision anymore. But it's just upsetting that

he'll just let go of that thing that we worked so hard for before just to get it.

"Maybe to follow you?" She said suddenly.

My eyes widen again.

"Stop the bullshit," I blurted, she laughed.

"Ja, seriously, whatever your shameless ex took away, you're not there unless you're the one who

meant it. But as long as there's no confirmation that you are, just calm down. Give yourself a break. Or

better yet, get used to it. Train yourself to see him because the world is too small for you not to meet

again. Train yourself to be able to move on,” she added.

I sighed.

"I'll try," I said. I heard her sigh too.

"Don't just try, do it. It's for yourself too. Have pity on your mental and emotional health, you're stressing

yourself too much." she added.

After that we hang up.
