Chapter 2774
Nicole felt that both Patricia and Ellar's personalities complimented each other well. However, the question of whether they could leverage that fact to build a connection was ultimately for them to answer.
With this in mind, Nicole looked at Ellar, feeling that his future would be full of uncertainties.
Meanwhile, Stanley was still driving Tia home. She was riding shotgun with her head bowed as she struggled with the awkwardness within her. She had indeed planned to head home without joining the karaoke session, but she did not want to go home with Stanley. With the two of them being the only ones present in the car, Tia could not help but endure the crippling anxiety she was feeling at the moment.
"What did Cherry say to you?" Stanley abruptly asked.
He noticed that the way Tia treated him had significantly changed after her conversation with Cherry. It was as if Tia was purposely avoiding him, leading him to suspect that Cherry had said something controversial enough for Tia to misunderstand him.
"Erm. l-lt's nothing," Tia stuttered, and lowered her head even further.
"Well, she must have said something,” Stanley pointed out, still confused about Tia's reaction.
Cornered, Tia bit her lips and whispered, "She said she was leaving."
"That's all she said?" Stanley questioned, wondering if Cherry had revealed anything else.
Tia could no longer answer Stanley's question, as she did not want to lie to him. She could not possibly tell Stanley about Cherry's advice and explanation either. After all, Cherry had even exposed the fact that she cared about Stanley. Stuck in this predicament, Tia chose to remain silent.
Stanley sighed at Tia's silence. He stopped pursuing her as he did not want to push her further.
"Cherry is indeed leaving. She has a boyfriend. I'm just helping her," Stanley said to himself, but it was also directed at Tia. He was not aware of what Cherry had told Tia, so he had to take matters into his own hands and explain himself. After all, it was better for him to explain to Tia than to rely on others.
Tia realized Stanley was explaining himself to her. His explanation made her heart beat faster, as she was shocked and shaken by the fact he was clarifying things to her.
"I already have someone I like, but it's just that." Stanley paused and shot her a meaningful glance. "Well, she'll find out eventually."
