The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio)

The Lies He Told Me 140

When I arrived at the police office, Antonio had settled the incident with the other party.

Covering the bloody scratches on his face, he hurried to come to me the moment he saw me at the police office.

"Grace, please hear me out! It wasn't what it looked like!

"We were just playing truth or dare. It was a punishment! Everybody was participating in it. That waitress only filmed it because she got us wrong."

Vivian seemed to be apologizing, yet I could tell how contented she was from her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Grace. We grew up together. I'm used to getting along with them like this. Don't worry about it. There's nothing going on between Antonio and me."

Vivian couldn't help but cry as if she had been wronged. "Grace, please. believe in us. Antonio and I have nothing to hide from you."

I nodded.

"Well, sure."

"Let's call it a day, OK?"

Antonio could tell that something went wrong with me. He thus stood up to settle the situation.
