Gullible Lily

If there was ever a time Lily wished that she could go back in time and correct an erroneous statement, it was at this very moment.

She felt her pulse quicken by the second as blood rose to her face making it turn red. Her heart was slamming against her chest as she imagined the many ways her boss would asphyxiate her for trying to ruin his marriage.

'How am I going to get myself out of this mess?' Lily lamented as she gulped down the glass of water offered to her.

"Do you feel better?" Ella asked in a concerned tone. Although, she knew that Lily was exaggerating the cough in other to avoid talking about the current subject of discussion. Hence, this increased her curiosity to learn about the said lady.

Lily nodded her head in reply but adverted Ella's unwavering gaze. She knew her behavior had worsened her case and this made her mentally stroke herself even more.
