Messy Heart

The thing Lila hated the most, was when Mandy looked down on herself. It seemed, those that appeared optimistic, were generally weaker on the inside. In front of everyone, they would laugh happily and joke around, but once it hit night and they were all alone, they would find a place to hide and soothe their own wounds.

"Let's go..." Mandy reminded Lila.

Lila glanced quickly at Mandy before boarding the company van.

Luka was like a block of wood with no sense of awareness. Pretty much, in his mind, the only reason he treated Mandy nicely was simply because Mandy was also nice to him.

"Right now, everyone in Beijing knows that you are Luka's fiancee. You already have an advantage, don't waste it."

Mandy glared at Lila as she covered her ears. Lila's words were like feathers tickling at her heart.

She couldn't let her thoughts wander, it was making her heart a mess...

...

That evening. An unexpected snow fell upon Beijing.
