Chapter 13

ALEX’S POV

It's been a week since we had lunch. And since that lunch, I never heard about Bryan. He did not text me or call me or even ask me about work.

'Wait, why am I sad? Isn't that what I want? ' I asked myself

'Do you really want to?' suddenly, my other brain said.

I sighed. It's funny. I knew I should be happy because I don’t need to exert an effort just to avoid him since he stops bugging me.

Suddenly something seemed to pierce my heart.

I miss him, I want to call him, see him but I can't.

I don't want to hurt my best friend. I know until now she still has feelings for Bryan. I could see it in her eyes. Her eyes twinkle every time she talked to Bryan, and I could see the longing in her eyes. And I feel guilty for liking Bryan.

My deep thinking was stopped when I received a text from Liz. I immediately raised an eyebrow after reading her text.

From: Sis

Sis, I can't accompany you tonight. I have a dinner meeting later. It's an emergency. Sorry, sis.
