MIMI

Chapter 105 - Trust Built On Lies

The two stared at one another in silence.

Inwardly, Mimi was wondering how Emilia found her address but decided to push such thoughts away for the time being.

At that moment, Mimi's brain was racing to come up with something to say, when suddenly, an idea popped in her head.

Of course, of course... she could just say she was Andras's sister!

She inwardly patted her back for her brilliance.

Mimi composes herself and opens her mouth to speak but stopped upon seeing Emilia's expression.

The young girl's eyes reddened as she lowered her head, her hands gripping onto a squared container, trembled.

"I..." Her voice was small. "I'm sorry!"

Without allowing her the chance to respond, Emilia lowered her head and quickly walked away. Mimi was stunned as she watched Emilia's figure rush away.

After a while, Mimi closed her door and walked back into her apartment, her expression blank.

"Damn it." Her fist slammed onto the kitchen counter.

Mimi had been aware of Emilia's feelings toward her or to be more frank, Andras.

It was not as though she was dense, but from the beginning she overlooked it. She assumed her emotions would pass like most teenage girls - yet that had not been the case.

Four months passed and her emotions remained the same, even in the presence of Tobias who regularly won the hearts of women of all ages.

Recalling Emilia's expression when she opened the door, Mimi's eyes dimmed. The look of confusion, betrayal, and emptiness - one she had been too familiar with.

She truly screwed up this time.

Mimi stood in silence for a few moments before the sound of the front door opening broke her from her daze. Turning around, Mimi saw Tobias walk in with a set of bags in his hands.

When he pushed the apartment door open, Tobias was surprised to see Mimi standing near the kitchen. Assuming she got up to eat something, he didn't look further into the matter.

Placing the bags onto the kitchen counter, Tobias took out the items in the bag. "I bought you more pain killers and dark chocolates. I didn't know what flavor you preferred so I bought all of them. There's also tea."

Mimi appeared dazed and absentmindedly nodded her head. "Mm."

Hearing the girl's brief response, Tobias looked up and finally noticed the unusual glaze in the girl's eyes. Her expression was wooden and blank, causing his heart to slightly hurt at the sight.

Setting everything down, Tobias stares at the girl's face with furrowed brows.

"What is it? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Mimi didn't say a word, and she also didn't move. Her silk lashes fluttered and her expression wrinkled as if she was considering her next words.

She clears her gaze and hesitantly looks up at the handsome man across from her. "Tobias, we're considered friends right?"

Confused by the question, Tobias, nonetheless, nodded his head. "Yes, we're friends."

"Best friends?"

Chuckling lightly, Tobias nods his head again. "Mn, best friends."

"And best friends share their problems with one another, right?"
