Lie To Me novel Chapter 22

“Serves him right. He must see what kind of life you have now that he's out of your life." Reysa said. "Let him see how well you turned out now that you're no longer intoxicated." She added.

I told her what happened when the team had lunch.

I sighed.

He looks pitiful sitting there though.

I wanted to tell Reysa but I know she will scold me if I did. It might even come out just to chase me.

"We will have an outing by the end of the month, we're not even talking about where but he's with me since he's one of my team." I said.

"What's that. What did Hans say?" She asked.

I shrugged. "Nothing. He's just silent, like usual."

"Is he joining?"

"No. It's for my team, it's a reward for the success of the project presentation. We impressed the client and were sure of the deal so the President gave us a gift." I said.

"She should be with him."

"I wanted to but he couldn't. They also have a project coming up, Mikael already told him about it, so it's hard to be with him."

She sighed.

"Can you do without him?" She asked.

I know she's worried I might have my anxiety attacks again and no one's there to soothe me.

"Maybe. You see, I was able to forget that he's in the same room I was for hours. I improved, maybe I can afford it by that time, it's still two weeks from now. I can still get used to it." I assured her.

Reysa smiled over the screen. I did too.

"I'm glad to know that you're healing. It might be slow but at least you're getting there. Just keep going, Ja. Know that I always got your back." She said.

I love her.

"Thanks to you and Hans. And also know that I got your back too." I told her.
