Lie To Me

Chapter 22: 22

“Serves him right. He must see what kind of life you have now that he's out of your life." Reysa said.

"Let him see how well you turned out now that you're no longer intoxicated." She added.

I told her what happened when the team had lunch.

I sighed.

He looks pitiful sitting there though.

I wanted to tell Reysa but I know she will scold me if I did. It might even come out just to chase me.

"We will have an outing by the end of the month, we're not even talking about where but he's with me

since he's one of my team." I said.

"What's that. What did Hans say?" She asked.

I shrugged. "Nothing. He's just silent, like usual."

"Is he joining?"

"No. It's for my team, it's a reward for the success of the project presentation. We impressed the client

and were sure of the deal so the President gave us a gift." I said.

"She should be with him."

"I wanted to but he couldn't. They also have a project coming up, Mikael already told him about it, so

it's hard to be with him."

She sighed.

"Can you do without him?" She asked.

I know she's worried I might have my anxiety attacks again and no one's there to soothe me.

"Maybe. You see, I was able to forget that he's in the same room I was for hours. I improved, maybe I

can afford it by that time, it's still two weeks from now. I can still get used to it." I assured her.

Reysa smiled over the screen. I did too.

"I'm glad to know that you're healing. It might be slow but at least you're getting there. Just keep going,

Ja. Know that I always got your back." She said.

I love her.

"Thanks to you and Hans. And also know that I got your back too." I told her.

We ended the conversation after an hour. It's past 11pm now and it's good and there's no work the next

day.

It's the weekend finally!

"Come over, I will cook." I told Hans over the phone.

It's Saturday and I thought of cooking for lunch. We had lunch out all week and even ate the last meal

we cooked.

If that counts.

"Let's just get together." He said.

He sounds like he just woken up and it's past 9am already.

"We just had that last Thursday! Get up there. I'll be cooking Kare-kare." I said.

I heard the rustle of his standing. His tone was also different when he said he was going to dress up.

You can always get him food. Gosh, Hansel.

I started cooking by 9:30 am. I boiled the meat while preparing the vegetables.

I was almost done chopping the vegetables when Hans came. He was wearing a plain maroon V-neck

shirt and khaki shorts. I also brought ice cream.

"You cook alamang, you taste better than me." I said.

It's 10:30 am when we finished cooking. Just waiting for the rice to be eaten.

"Have you ever thought of a resort?" He asked.

"Nothing yet. Maybe on Monday we'll talk so we can canvas as well. It's embarrassing for Mikael if the

resort we're going to take is expensive." My answer.

I pushed the button of my blender. I'm making a banana shake.

"Go to Palawan." He said.

"That's expensive, ah. Mikael might cry at the expense." I said a bit laughing.

"Edi is happier." He said. I just shook my head and finished the b-blender.

I don't know about these. There are times that are very serious and there are also times that are Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

childish. They quarrel a lot.
