As soon as those words came out of his mouth, I zoned out. I just stood there and listened to him blabbering things about Daniel. He said Daniel was just lying and told me the exact opposite of what he really feels.
So that means he just pretended earlier.
"I can't believe that bastard-----why are you smiling?"
"Huh?" I was pulled out of my thoughts when he suddenly asked me.
"Why are you smiling?" He repeats, frowning.
"Nothing, I was just confused."
"You are confused... so this means when you're confused, you smile?"
"No!" I rolled my eyes and pulled him back to his chair. "So you mean to say he's lying and pretended that he didn't miss me but the truth is that----"
"Yes! I've been with him all this time and I've seen him talking alone and dreamed of you every night!"
"But why did he do that?"
"Tsk.tsk.tsk, what do you think is the reason why we men hide the truth from the woman we love?" he asked as he leaned into his chair.
"Uhmm..."
"Ego!" We both turned to Denise. "Men hide such things because of their enormous egos, which are sometimes larger than the Pacific ocean!"
"Whoa! Why are you so smart, babe? That's why I like you."
I snapped my head at Andrew.
"But I don't like you, Mr. Peterson."
"Ouch! That hurts!"
"But that's the truth."
"Tsk.tsk. Straightforward woman!"
"Yes, and I'm proud of it!"
"Aren't you going to consider my feelings----"
"Ahem! Excuse me, I'm still here kicking and alive." I waved my hand in front of them.
"Oops, I'm sorry. Let's get back to the topic."
I couldn't help but smiled and shook my head because of them.
"I don't know his reason for doing that, Sophia, but there's one thing I'm sure of, he loves you and his life is a great mess without you."
"But why did he have to pretend like that?"
"I told you, I don't know his reason, but if you want to know the answer, don't give up on him this time. Whether he's only pretending or not, don't give up Sophia. Don't give up your love and let Chloe win over you."
"I agree with him, Ma'am Sophia."
I sighed loudly and looked at them pouting.
"So what do you want me to do?"
"Kiss him!"
"Slap him!"
My mouth opened slightly as they answered my question in unison. They shared a look but I just laughed at them.
"Why does she need to kiss him?" Andrew asked her, knitting his eyebrows.
"And why does she need to slap Mr. Kelley? She should slap the bitch and not him!"
"Wait!" They looked at me. "I have an idea!" And I got up, rushing back to the hallway and towards Daniel's office.
