I’m Someone Else

After spending these past two days with them, Chloe was certain Olivia liked Thomas, and it seemed he also treated her differently. She had witnessed how he treated Molly before, and compared to her, he was exceptionally good to Olivia. It went beyond the level of friendship.

“Huh? What do you mean?” He was puzzled by her question.

“I mean… Do you like her?” she asked anxiously while silently praying, Thomas, please don’t fall in love with Olivia. What should I do if you like her?”

“No, I don’t,” he replied instinctively, turning his head away. He dared not look into Chloe’s eyes, fearing to expose his lie.

“Really?” Her tone raised slightly, with a mix of delight and doubt.

She did not quite believe what he said. Olivia was a beauty, and her personality was top-tier. Even she, as someone of the same gender, had a favorable impression of her. How could Thomas not like her as a man? It seemed unlikely! Moreover, why were they holding each other’s arms if he did not like her? Was that not something only couples do?

“Uhm…” He was speechless. How should I answer this?

Over the past few days, he had gotten used to having Olivia by his side. No matter how hard or frustrated he felt, he would feel much better seeing her radiant smile. It was as if all his hardships became worthwhile because of her smile.

He would be content when she was happy, and he would be down when she was sad. Only he knew in his heart that he was genuinely falling for Olivia.
