Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Joy felt tensed for a while. She refused to speak to Andrew because she felt she might overreact and go far with her words.
Even when Andrew kept pestering him, she just kept mute like a dummy. ' Was that the right thing to do?' she asked herself as she waited for her driver, frustration boldly written on her face.

She reprimanded herself inwardly when she began feeling her insecurities coming back to life. She draped her face with a handkerchief and felt even more impatient because her driver was not yet around.
She sighed, as she looked at her wristwatch, realizing it has been some minutes past the normal time she was supposed to be picked.
"Joy. Are you going to leave me to trek home", Joy closed and opened her eyes as she heard Rachael's voice.She turned back, trying her best

Saying YES will only make him be in the suffering end. How will he even tell his other friends that he broke the rule of dating, and has started dating Lydia?

He looked across the hall, as his eyes met with that of Rachael.He felt his heartbeat, as he saw the pain in her eyes, maybe it was his imagination. Before he could say a word, Rachael turned away and left.Within a split second, Kevin removed his hand from that of Lydia, ready to make his own decision.

It is often said that no matter how you hide something, it will one way or the other be exposed, even if it will be slightly.It can be said that Joy probably made the wrong decision by volunteering to be with Andrew, to help him with moving. It was more like a stance to increase the magnetic strength of her feelings.She helped with moving his stuff to his new apartment. For the first time, Joy complemented Andrew for his nice taste.The apartment had a small sitting room alongside two bedrooms, toilet and bathroom as one, alongside a well-furnished kitchen. The blue imprint on the sides of the living room even made it more beautiful, coupled with the simple furnishings in the mini house."Thinking about something?" Joy almost screamed, as her heartbeat fast at the sudden voice of Andrew behind her.
