I cried until I was tired. My head started to ache. Soon I fell asleep again.
I feel much better when I wake up the next morning.
Looking around the empty room, I felt like what had happened last night was just a dream.
My throat was dry. I turned around to get some water to drink.
There was a bowl of hot mushroom soup on the table.
"Mushroom soup?"
The mushroom soup was my favorite.
I felt a little confused.
It turned out that what had happened last night was not a dream.
After I recovered from the illness, I started working at Easton's company.
He assigned me an easy job, placing me far away from his office.
Everyone in the company knew my identity and usually kept their distance from me.
As his assistant, Alana naturally spent every day with him.
I was bored, so I placed a chair by the window.
Every day, I could see them going to and from work together. What a happy couple.
In the blink of an eye, it was the birthday of Easton's father, Troy.
Easton went home and took me up to the mansion of his family.
We appeared as a loving couple.
Upon getting out of the car, I saw Alana waiting in front of the Lawson family's mansion.
From the moment Easton saw her, he had been gazing at her.
Troy's birthday banquet was grandly prepared. Many big shots from the business world attended.
Easton and I kept talking and toasting to them one by one in the crowd.
After a few drinks, I was a little dizzy.
After dealing with the distinguished guests, I walked alone to the terrace for some air to sober up.
Just as I exhaled, two familiar figures walked towards me.
It was Easton and Alana.
At the sight of me, they were slightly stunned. Then they walked straight towards me.
Alana took a step forward and held my hand, saying with great guilt, "Giana, we let you down."
Easton didn't say anything as he watched indifferently from the side.
"Easton, I finally found you." A male voice came from behind us.
Javion looked at the three of us somewhat awkwardly. He cautiously glanced at Easton, saying, "Giana."
For a moment, I couldn't tell whether he was calling me or Alana.
I brushed off Alana's hand. Feeling unhappy in my heart, I said, "I'm going back first."
I turned around to leave. Javion caught up with me, anxiously saying, "Giana, let me walk you."
Easton, who had been silent, suddenly called out to him, "Javion."
Javion and I both turned around.
He asked, "Do you like her?"
