Chapter 102

Ever since discovering Thalia’s true identity, Celine had been gossiping about Sienna with their other friends countless times behind her back.

Of course, she would never say such things to Sienna’s face.

Even the most superficial of friendships required maintaining appearances.

Celine patted Sienna’s shoulder reassuringly. “Come on, Sienna, don’t talk about yourself that way. If you ask me, Thalia’s the real joke here. When you first got back from abroad, we all saw how Drake was totally into you. Thalia’s been cheated on like a million times–she’s the one everyone’s laughing at, not you!”

Sienna smiled, her mood seemingly lifting. “You’re right. Thalia’s the real joke.”

Celine took a sip of tequila, smiling. “I heard Thalia’s got a new boyfriend now. Doesn’t that mean things are looking up for you and Drake?”

The bar’s dim lighting concealed Sienna’s gloomy expression. She forced a smile, cold light glinting in her eyes.

This Celine was definitely doing this on purpose.

News of Drake’s suicide attempt over Thalia had spread throughout their social circle–Celine couldn’t possibly be

unaware.

Asking such a question was clearly meant to mock her.

She’d always known Celine wasn’t to be trusted!

Sienna was seething, her face twitching with anger. After a moment to compose herself, she replied in a measured tone: “Not exactly. Drake’s company has just started operating again, and he’s crazy busy with work. He doesn’t have time for dating.”

“Is that so?” Celine’s laughter rang clear. “Oh right, I heard Drake was hospitalized recently. Must have been from overworking, I guess? I’ve been too busy to visit him in town. Mason mentioned it was pretty serious–he was in hospital for several days. What happened exactly?”

Sienna’s face darkened.

She casually flipped her hair, feigning nonchalance. “Nothing major. Just his immune system taking a hit from too many all–nighters. When the temperature dropped, he caught a bug.”

Celine covered her mouth in exaggerated surprise. “Really? Hospitalized for so long over a cold? His immune system must be shot to hell.”
