Making me feel humiliated, wishing I could dig a hole and hide in it.
Chloe said I messed things up by drinking and pouring out my heart. She had always taken care of me before and had never made a mistake.
Last night, I was careless... I felt a pang of panic.
I also remembered Ethan calling me a mistress?
What a heartless humiliation, even though he had only been in a relationship for three months.
But I didn't deserve to be humiliated by him. I had never actively flirted with him, nor had I ever thought of tarnishing him.I'd simply loved him from afar, content to see him happy.
Hehe, he shouldn't have made me feel so embarrassed. My heart was instantly torn into pieces.
Soon, I called Ethan's girlfriend, Olivia White.
When we met, I said to her frankly,"I'm sorry. I drank too much yesterday and said some things I shouldn't have. I sincerely apologize to you."
Olivia batted her eyes and gave me a sweet smile."It's okay. Everyone has secrets in their hearts. You just accidentally blurted out your secret. I won't blame you, really."
There was something off about her tone, a bit of a fake sweetness.
But I was in the wrong first, so I'd done my part. After all, having a crush wasn't a crime.
Just as I was about to turn and leave, I ran into Ethan.
As usual, he tossed a set of car keys into my hand.
"Come on, drive me out for a ride. Let's go to the beach.I'm in a good mood today."
He seemed cheerful, just like the old days when he'd ask me to chauffeur him around.
I used to be more than happy to do it. After all, I had a crush on him, and he was the only one in my heart.
No matter how busy I was at work, I would never miss any opportunity to meet him.
In our social circle, he was the most successful and handsome man. He was six feet three inches tall, with thick black hair, a strong and handsome face, and a pair of affectionate eyes. Every feature added to his charm, making him extremely attractive.
At that moment, a gust of wind blew, and I shuddered. I quickly took a few steps back."No need..."
Wait a minute. I suddenly remembered that my uncle said there would be a business investment conference in a month, and Ethan's participation was crucial.
If Ethan participated, it would bring huge investment to my uncle's company.
I should repay my uncle. Although he wasn't my biological relative, he had given me a comfortable life.
"Okay, I'll take you for a ride."
I drove gracefully, doing a drift and speeding away. Ten minutes later, Ethan's phone rang.
"Honey, where are you? I'm not feeling well now. I had coffee with Lily today, and then my stomach started hurting badly.I'm in the hospital now. Can you come and see me?"
Ethan immediately replied,"Okay,I’m on my way. Wait for me."
Then Ethan questioned me,"Did you ask her out for coffee today?"
My unrequited love was like a joke. My heart ached faintly, as if it was being soaked in sulfuric acid.
I gripped the steering wheel tightly. I really wanted to scold him.
But for the success of the business investment, I still said indifferently,"Yes, I did meet her."
"You did it on purpose, didn't you? Olivia is so fragile. She can't handle your tricks. Let go of your feelings for me. After all, we're not suited to be a couple—just friends.."
His tone was surprisingly calm, without any fluctuations, but it was like a burning pain to me.
To preserve my dignity, I took a deep breath and said indifferently,"Okay, I'll remember. It won't happen again."
