Chapter 227 - You Like him

When Jacob said that he wanted to have a word with Lance, it is not about Lily, it was about something else.

"What is going on with the two of you?" J knew that Lance was probably just helping Lily but on Lily's side, she can tell that there is more to that.

Lily was speechless. She sat in a plush chair near the window facing J who is sitting at the edge of the bed.

"Ahm... the thing is... about that..." Lily lowered her head as she plays with her fingers.

"When I called you last time..." Lily continued. J remained quiet, patiently waiting for Lily to open up.

Lily take a deep breath and started again. "I met him the day that I called you. And since then, I felt like something is wrong with me. I've been acting strange like it was not me at all."

J was speechless. This girl, really, how old is she? She is acting like a teenager.

"I can't even talk and act normal around him. I even get drunk just to avoid talking to him."

J raised her brow and said in a matter of fact tone. "You like him."

Lily buried her face in both her palm. "It doesn't matter... he's not even interested in me."

J can help but felt pity towards Lily. Even she cannot tell if Lance is interested in her. Lance rarely shows interest towards girls. He is an expert in hiding his feelings. He is sweet, caring and respectful towards them, if you don't know him you would've thought that he likes you but if you know him well, you can tell that he treats every girl like that equally.

Lance did have a girlfriend in the past. The first one was when they were in high school. Lance broke up with her before they went abroad because he doesn't believe in long distance relationship. The second one was when he was in Law School in abroad. Their broke up was a mutual decision, they just realized one day that they fall out of love. And the third one and the longest was when Lance was working as an intern in a law firm abroad.

During those time, J didn't know how did Lance court those girls. She didn't even notice that Lance were interested with them because he treats them just like how he treats others. If Lance didn't tell her that he liked a girl, J wouldn't have known. If there is anyone that Lance treats more special than the other girls, that would be J. He treats her like a sister.

Lance is not the type to just casually shows his affection. But when he did, he would go all out.

"Sis... what should I do? Can you help me?" Lily raised her head and pleaded to J.

J was deadpan. "I never had a boyfriend before so how am I supposed to help you?" J said nonchalantly.

"You... you never had boyfriend before?" Lily was dumbstruck. She looked at J with disbelieve. Her sister in law is so beautiful. She is even beautiful than the most beautiful celebrity that she knows. How come she never had a boyfriend before?

"Seriously?" Lily asked with doubt.

J raised her right brow. "You're the one who had boyfriends before, so you should know how to deal with this."

"But this is different. Before, boys were the one chasing and pursuing me, not the other way around. And besides, Mr. Kho doesn't seem to have any interest with me."
