My Ex-boyfriend Has An Incurable DiseaseChapter 1

My ex-boyfriend's current girlfriend added me on WhatsApp. She suddenly sent me several messages. [So what if you're pretty and rich? He still left you to be with me?]

[I texted you today just to tell you that no matter how good you are, it's useless to someone who doesn't love you!]

[If it's not yours, it's not yours. He's mine. Are you envious?]

I rolled my eyes and quickly typed a line of words. [He has AIDS.]

***

On the first anniversary of our relationship, my boyfriend, Lucas Schmidt, said he had to work overtime at the company and didn't come back.

In the evening, I bought a dinner box and delivered it to his office.

As soon as I arrived downstairs, I saw two people who were very close to each other walking out of the office from a distance.

The man was Lucas and the woman was Ariana McCarthy, a new intern in the company who was still in her senior year. She was thin and small but had pretty facial features. She also had a very positive attitude during the interview.

I saw her talking excitedly to my boyfriend, which made him smile.

Seeing me suddenly appear from the side, both of them had a stiff expression.

Lucas was the first to react, but I could hear a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone. He asked me, "Baby? Why are you here?"

"What do you mean? Can't I come here?" I asked him back in surprise.

"No, that's not what I meant. I meant, it's so late ...." he answered a little nervously.

"I'm here to pick up my boyfriend from get off work, is that a problem?" I took Lucas' arm and handed him the box in my hand.

"Of course not. Okay, Ariana, just hand in the project plan tomorrow. Don't forget the precautions I just told you. You can go first."

Before I could ask anything, Lucas sent the intern away with just a few words.

"Babe, I got off work late today and I planned to bring you some barbecue. It's so tiring for you to cook."

Speaking of which, Lucas immediately took out his mobile phone, then took a photo and posted it on his social media account, with the caption [A love dinner made by my baby.]

This series of actions made it impossible for me to find any fault with him.

However, when I thought about how close he and Ariana were just now, my intuition told me that something was wrong.

He and Ariana were not in the same department, so how could they have the opportunity to discuss the project plan?
