Lie To Me novel Chapter 17

I was back on reverence when Arianne spoke. It smiled at me as it said goodbye.

"You take care of him, Ms." Her last words before leaving me with him.

Him.

The one I keep running to is already here in front of me. Seriously looking at me.

I roomed my sight around. I checked the aircon to see if it was on because I felt too hot all of a sudden. And even though there was no window in my office I still searched. I feel suffocated.

And I was about to stand on my chair but Reysa's words echoed on my head.

"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. "

I sighed.

Can I do it?

Actual situation is way harder than imaginations. This is not the situation I have repeatedly memorized in my mind!

"You don't have to. You don't have to think about what, you just control yourself not to run or leave when he's there, that's okay. First step, first learn to be able to stand somewhere he's already there. At least that's all. " Were hand words?

I sighed again, contemplating myself.

Yes, Yes. You can do it! I said to myself.

I could do it then, why can't I do it now?

It was just him.
