Chapter 4

Tiffany had never thought that her boyfriend would cheat on her with her best friend. She had always thought that such things were just absurd fiction. Until it happened to her. Tiffany finally understood the phrase "art is a reflection of life".

She still remembered the day she had gone into her dorm room and seen William Lewis and Brianna tangled together. The shock and betrayal had cut deep. Brianna had been her best friend, and William had been the person she had relied on the most besides Teresa. Yet, they had hurt her in the dirtiest, sharpest way. "Tiff?" Brianna froze.

Tiffany averted her gaze and dragged her suitcase aside. She didn't plan to make small talk.

The past was past.

She had broken up with William and cut Brianna off too. She didn't want anything more to do with them.

Brianna clung to William's arm as they walked in. As the elevator doors closed, Brianna turned to Tiffany. "I heard you got a job. Are you going on a business trip?"

Tiffany nodded curtly in response, going along with it.

Seeing Tiffany's reaction, Brianna didn't say more.

As the elevator reached the ground floor, Tiffany dragged her suitcase out. But to her surprise, one of the wheels got stuck in a gap. Her face reddened, and she tugged on the suitcase. But it wouldn't budge. Just as she was at a loss for what to do, William reached out. With a light push, he freed the wheel.

"Thank you," Tiffany mumbled before fleeing with her suitcase.

The elevator doors closed, and it continued downward.

Brianna glanced at William. "Tiffany seems different. I wonder if she's still mad at us. Do you think I should meet her and apologize properly?"

"Is that necessary?" William said flatly. "It is what it is. Will apologizing change anything?"

Brianna pouted. "William, are you blaming me?"

William didn't respond.

Brianna withdrew her hand from his. "William, if you can't move on from Tiffany, I'll explain things to her. It was my fault to begin with, and I can take the blame. Tiffany is soft-hearted. She'll surely forgive you..." The elevator opened to the bright underground parking garage.
