Chapter 2

I remembered when I first got close to Vivian two years ago. She was always cheerful, with a touch of cautious flattery.

Once, just to try on my new designer watch, she held her wrist out to me.

"Chloe, look, this looks so good on you. I just want to wear it for a second to see how it feels."

I didn't think much of it. I just laughed and told her she could wear it longer if she liked.

Marcus was there too. He frowned slightly but said nothing.

On the surface, he kept a polite and distant boundary with Vivian.

Vivian was also very sensible. She never crossed the line again, content to just be my loyal best friend.

For two years, she was always grateful and considerate. I never doubted her.

He was the loyal boyfriend. She was the sweet bestie.

They put on a beautiful show. I never saw it coming.
