The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio)

The Lies He Told Me 143

Maybe it was because I finally relieved the burden, I slept extraordinarily well that night. I earned half a day off since it was my first day as an official employee.

I was confused. Alexander was worried about my safety, so he followed me to the door. I saw a familiar figure from afar. It was Antonio.

He looked much slimmer than before. His cheeks looked skinny, with dark circles under his eyes. Even his hair was messy. It had been a long time since he ever tidied himself up.

The moment he saw him, his desperate eyes lit up again. Yet when he saw Alexander, I could see anger burning in his eyes. He rushed over, trying to push Alexander away. "Fuck off! Don't get close to Grace!"

Unlike Antonio, Alexander always had a healthy lifestyle. He went to the gym regularly.

Alexander remained completely unmoved after being shoved by Antonio.
