Love the Second Time Around

Chapter 91 Just Friends

I lowered my head and stood still for quite some time until someone tugged at my hand.

Meanwhile, Nicholas was also standing beside me. I looked at both of them and said, “Please wait for me. I’ll wash my face and join the crew.”

“Liliana, I think you shouldn’t go out today. Stay here; I can keep you company.” Shannon was reluctant to let go of me as she was so worried.

I shook my head and replied, “It’s okay. I’m fine.”

With that, I gently pulled my hand away from hers and turned around to head toward the restroom.

The water was cold but it could cover up the traces of tears on my face.

After washing up, I stared at myself in the mirror and grinned in self-deprecation.

It’s not a big deal. After all, Dominic is just one of those scumbags.

And it doesn’t matter that I have slept with him because I’ve been married before anyway.

After wiping away the water off my face, I left the restroom.

“Let’s go. Nicholas, I remember you have to shoot a scene this morning. Don’t be late because of me.” I paused for a while and said apologetically, “Also, I’m sorry for using you just now. When everything dies down, I’ll treat you to dinner to compensate you.”

I felt my face burning with embarrassment once I recalled the things I had said earlier on.

“It’s okay. Since I’m a man, I guess I was the one who took advantage of you. Nonetheless, I’ve jotted down your promise to treat me to dinner, so don’t go back on your word.”

Since I owed Nicholas a lot, I thought I was the one who took advantage of him by only treating him to dinner.
