The hypocrite went on and added, “Have you always deemed me a hypocrite? Well, I guess it’s inevitable when the guy you’re head over heels with over the past eight years turns his back against you over the night! I must say it’s quite a pleasant sight!”
“Why don’t you keep those to yourself? Lyle is but a jerk. If you want him so badly, just take him away. You’re the only one who appreciates him.” I meant every single word I said. I had enough of dealing with the vicious duo.
Crystal leaned against the pillar and asked with her face scrunched up in irritation, “Why don’t you stop putting on a strong front instead? Aren’t you aware it’s bad for your health? Can you recall our first encounter? You behaved all superior to me and turned me down when I requested to have a look at your drawings.”
Chuckling, she added, “In the end, I acquired the drawings after throwing a tantrum! I had ever since then made up my mind to get my hands on everything that belongs to you!”
I guess this is Crystal’s true color, huh? Why can’t she move on from the past? On top of that, why would I want to share something that belonged to me with her? I can’t believe she has been picking on me over such a trivial matter.
After snapping out of the train of thoughts, I looked at her in the eyes. “Well, I guess the ones you were able to get your hands on were never meant to be mine. What belongs to me will always be mine. You’ll just end up with something that others couldn’t even be bothered with.”
“Hahaha!” Crystal burst out laughing as she found my statement hilarious. After all, I was the unlucky one over the years. One way or another—my life, my career, and my wedding ended up miserably.
“You’re so adorable! I wonder if Lyle hasn’t filed for divorce with you because of your naivety! Anyway, I’ll get him to make up his mind soon!”
