Lie To Me novel Chapter 18

"He’s really following you." Reysa's response after I told her that Russel is now working under me in the company over a video call.

I sighed.

To this day I still can't believe that fact.

Who would?

Even Hans suddenly rushed to my office when he found out that we could join the company of that one. He almost kicked Mikael too because of that, I just stopped him and told him to let it go.

After all, we have been anticipating an encounter, not just in this situation.

"Why would he do that?" I asked.

I am calm now, unlike the previous days when I almost had a heart attack and fainted with nervousness.

I realized, why am I the one feeling nervous?

Why it has to be me to run when I did nothing against him?

I didn't do anything wrong to him, so why do I still seem to be running away?

That's when I decided to practice what Reysa and Hans told me, get used to being there so I can move on. And by far, I am doing great. Hans told me that.

"Maybe, he wants a comeback? I mean, he wants you back.”" She replied. I know she's mocking me.

"What are we, teenagers? In the movies?" I said. "We are too old for things like that." I added.

Sus! Come back, come back. It's only for those who truly love.

Then for what else, right?

Reysa laughed. “Don’t speak yet, Jianna. Who knows, he asks you to drop you and you give up immediately,” she said.

"Nah. Shut up, Reysa," I replied. "I already have a car, that I will never happen.” I said.
