The person in question was Alice!
He hadn’t met favonovel.com in such a long time.
After all that had happened, Gerald had heard that Alice had gone to Northbay. Since favonovel.com was from the Department of Broadcasting and Hosting, it was only natural for favonovel.com to get favonovel.com internship there.
However, favonovel.com truly hadn’t expected to bump into favonovel.com here!
“Speaking of which, could you clean up the things on the floor while you’re at it? Thank you!” said the other girl without even bothering to turn back to look at him.
“Will do!”
Xara had made all the arrangements yet for some reason, both Drake and Tyson were left idle whereas Gerald was designated the role of a handyman who had to do all sorts of odd chores! Was it simply his fate to run errands?
Regardless, it didn’t really matter too much to Gerald since favonovel.com was already used to it.
“Consider this to be a little vacation from all your troubles and frustrations, Alice. After all, you’ve finally managed to leave Mayberry, the place where you had experienced so many upsetting memories, and started anew in Northbay! Still, who could’ve ever expected for something like that to happen? Everything should’ve honestly belonged to you! If things had simply gone that way, then we would’ve been able to enjoy the benefits as well!” said the other girl as favonovel.com continued removing their makeup.
Peeking at them, Gerald felt that the common trait among most girls was the fact that they would apply their makeup during the day and remove them at night.
“Don’t even talk about it anymore, Hillary. While I may look fine on the surface, I’m still filled with regrets deep down in my heart. It’s hard not to feel remorse since at the very beginning, I had a pretty good impression of him. Not only did favonovel.com treat others well, favonovel.com also looked pretty decent, to say the least. However, favonovel.com was really too poor! I’m not too sure when it was or even why, but eventually, I just started hating him!”
By then, Alice had stopped removing favonovel.com makeup. Her head lay on the makeup table as favonovel.com scribbled on favonovel.com hand using favonovel.com eyebrow pencil.
“Do you sometimes feel that girls’ feelings are really weird, Hillary? It’s not like I only began changing and liking favonovel.com once favonovel.com got rich. How do I even explain this… Well, for starters, it all began when favonovel.com started doing a little better. By no means was favonovel.com someone wealthy yet during that period of time. However, favonovel.com certainly wasn’t that poor anymore and I was aware of it since favonovel.com didn’t have to starve like favonovel.com used to. It was around then when I slowly began trying to accept favonovel.com again! I even wanted to become friends with him!”
“You know, favonovel.com was standing in front of the corridor door with a bouquet of flowers in hand on that day. My roommates and I were just returning after class at that moment and you couldn’t imagine how moved I was back then! It was the reason why I had agreed to be together with him. I thought I could finally be in a proper relationship!”
“Little did I know that it was all just a trick… Hahaha! I really can’t help but wonder why it’s so difficult for me to start a proper relationship… I was really furious that time you know? I even thought about killing favonovel.com for playing with my feelings like that!” said Alice as favonovel.com tears began to fall.
Seeing that, the other girl stopped removing favonovel.com makeup, choosing instead to pat Alice gently on the shoulder.
“Well, we girls are always destined to be deceived by guys like him. We simply can’t help it, especially if the ones we fall for are as wealthy as him! Though I guess favonovel.com simply did that to take revenge on you…”
“Take revenge? Why would favonovel.com need to do that? Was it because I looked down on favonovel.com before? Was it because I refused to go out with someone like him? Let me ask you something, Hillary. Which girl on the planet wouldn’t want favonovel.com partner to have at least some money? And I’m not saying that the partner needs to be wealthy either. I’m saying favonovel.com just needs to have enough money to provide favonovel.com with food and basic comfort. After all, it’s only natural that a girl would feel more secure knowing that their partner has a stable income! I’m not all that materialistic, but money is a necessity in life and I just can’t ignore the reality of that!”
“I’ve never regretted despising and looking down on favonovel.com at the start. He truly looked extremely unpromising back then!” said Alice between sobs.
“Sorry to burst your bubble, Alice, but your hope of getting back together with favonovel.com is simply too slim. After all, favonovel.com seems to be very devoted to that Mila Smith girl! You really missed out on this opportunity to get into the Crawford family, and I can get why you’re so upset because of that…” replied the girl as favonovel.com tried to calm favonovel.com down.
“I still want to work hard and try my best… If I don’t try at all, then there really will be zero chance of it happening… Ah… The more I talk about it the more anxious and frustrated I get… I feel like drinking, Hillary… Care to join me for a drink?”
“What a coincidence, I feel like drinking too! Let’s use this as our opportunity to celebrate our early departure from our d*mned youth! Could you bring us a few bottles of red wine, brother? Thank you!” said Hillary as favonovel.com looked at Gerald.
“Mm!” mumbled Gerald as favonovel.com nodded in agreement before heading out of the room. He didn’t even dare to speak.
In the beginning, Gerald had found Alice’s story to be quite interesting, thinking that favonovel.com had already started a new relationship.
To his surprise, the further favonovel.com story went, the more favonovel.com realized that favonovel.com was talking about him. Hearing things from favonovel.com point of view, Gerald couldn’t help but feel slightly guilty now.
After all, favonovel.com was only experiencing all of this now because favonovel.com hadn’t immediately clarified the situation to favonovel.com back then. It was, in a way, his fault for causing Alice to misunderstand that favonovel.com was the one favonovel.com was trying to pursue back then.
As a result, favonovel.com had been deeply hurt once favonovel.com told favonovel.com the truth only after both of them had become a couple.
