Perhaps sensing my suspicion, on the way home, Lucas fastened my seat belt and began to chatter incessantly.
"The HR Department just transferred Ariana to the Technical Department today. She doesn't know a lot of things. Several employees are on business trips, so I can only let her learn from me for two days. You were the one who interviewed her, so please rest assured."
I did not say anything and just let it go.
The next morning, I turned on the vibrating alarm in order to wake myself up, then I casually opened my social media account.
The first one was posted by my boyfriend, a screenshot of some very interesting words.
[You're still working overtime so late, take care of yourself.]
There were already many likes below and there was even a comment. [Wow, they are showing off their love in public.]
My mind instantly woke up from a daze. The words in the screenshot were not sent by me.
I took a screenshot of the picture and sent it to Lucas. It showed that the other party was typing several times, but no message was sent.
I could not hold back and sent a question mark before he replied.
[This is a green tea, Babe. I posted it on my social media just to let everyone see her character!]
Cih, I grinned.
[Lucas, do you take me for a fool?]
[It's real, Babe. I forgot to edit the text when I posted it. I posted it again this time. Take a look.]
I opened my social media again and sure enough, he had reposted a new one with the caption [I already have a girlfriend, please don't harass me.]
The picture was still the same screenshot.
This ambiguous caption in the picture made me wonder whether it was referring to his other girlfriend or me.
Seeing that I was about to be late, I planned to ask my boyfriend again at the company. But, when I arrived at the company, I heard that he had taken Ariana to meet a client.
Until the end of the workday, neither of them came back and Lucas did not even reply to any messages.
When I got home, it was empty. I turned on a small night light in the living room and sat quietly.
In a few minutes later, a familiar car sound was heard outside the door. Lucas finally came home.
The door lock was opened and Ariana helped Lucas walk inside, while accurately turning on the corridor light at the door with one hand.
The sudden light was a bit dazzling, so I raised my hand to block it and heard a timid voice.
"Miss Riley, Mr. Schmidt is drunk. I am sending him back."
