Telling Lies, loving you novel Chapter 3

For the very first time in his life, Scott saw a woman looking so down in the dumps and crying in front of him. Unsure of what he should do, he slowly approached her and reached out his hand, trying to help her get up.

Much to his surprise, Michelle suddenly stood up from the ground and ran away as fast as she could without looking back. Scott's hand remained hanging in the air even long after she was gone before he finally retracted it back. With his gaze fixated on the direction she ran to, he couldn't do anything but walk toward the hotel after a while.

With her body feeling so worn out, Michelle had no idea how she managed to get back home. The last thing she remembered was buying a bottle of wine and drinking it along the way.

Best friend and boyfriend?

This scene usually only happened in TV shows, but she met the same fate. This left her feeling so ridiculous and utterly disgusted with herself. They had been together for three long years, but as it turned out, their relationship was so fragile — broke so easily because of someone who got in the way of their love.

Now that he was married, what else could she mean to him? Was she now just someone he used to know?

There was a time where she used to believe that they would be sharing the rest of their lives with each other. However, the love they shared could only last for so long.

As she reminisced about the days when a pair of warm and thick hands used to run their fingers through her hair, she allowed herself to break down and cry as she got wrapped up in her thoughts. Things were much too different now since she could no longer feel that warm comfort.

She broke down next to the door, with her arms wrapped around her knees. At that moment, sadness and longing were written all over her face.

There was a dim light in the corridor. And given how drunk she was, it made her face look a little pale.

The door she was sitting right next to suddenly opened. Olivia Wang, who had an apron on, put down the garbage bag she was holding outside. When she was about to close the door, she noticed a figure curled up on the floor.

In an instant, her eyes became wide open and she rushed toward Michelle and blurted out, "Michelle, what's wrong? What happened to you?"
