Chapter 228 - False Hope

Lily said with a downturned head. Her shoulders were lowered like she was already defeated even if the war hasn't started yet.

"So you're saying you want to pursue him? How can you tell that he is not interested in you?" J said as she walk towards another plush chair near the window. She is feeling tired and wanted to lean on the soft chair.

Lily's eyes widened. "What do you mean? Do you think he is interested in me?"

J sighed. She didn't mean to give her false hope. "I didn't say that."

Lily let out a pronounced sigh in disappointment.

"However, Lance is not the kind of person who would show his interest or affection towards any girl until he is sure how he really feels towards her. You said you met each other just a couple of days ago and this is just the second time that you two got to see each other, so don't expect him to show any interest towards you just yet if he does have any. Based on my experience, Lance would tell me if he is interested to someone. If you are lucky, who knows, maybe one day, he would speak up to me." J was not usually very conversant but this is her sister-in-law she is dealing with and they are talking about her best friend Lance.

Lily's eyes brightened up. "You're right! Haha! Sister in law you are so right! How can I be so pessimistic? We've only just met! It's not like he's never ever be interested in me. Oh my God! It's so great that you are my sister-in-law and his best friend at the same time!" Lily exclaimed in excitement. She stood up and take one long stride to J's seat and gave her a hug.

J felt depressed. Did she gave Lily another false hope? After all, Lance is very meticulous when it comes to choosing his girlfriend. Even if he liked a girl, when he find just one fault, he would never date her. She suddenly felt exhausted.

"By the way, since when did you became best friend with Mr. Kho?" Lily suddenly asked. Since she is his best friend, she would find out everything about him from her.

"I don't know." J shrugged her shoulders and looked outside the window. Lily's apartment is located at 8th floor. The view at night in her apartment is spectacular. J could see the lights in the buildings outside her apartment. "We grew up together."

Lily felt envious. Since they grew up together, didn't they felt any romantic affection towards each other during those times? She looked at J with jealousy.

"Don't look at me like that. We never had any romantic feelings for each other." J knew what would Lily felt so with her gaze fixed outside the window, she corrected any wrong thoughts that Lily must have in her mind.

Lily smiled apologetically. "He he. Now that I think about it. I guess my brother was jealous of him as well. Am I right?"

A small smile appeared at the corner of J's lips. "Yes he did." And still does. After she said that, J yawned. It is already 2 o'clock in the morning. She didn't noticed the time until she felt sleepy.

Lily felt infected with J's yawn. "Ah... what's taking them so long." Her head is starting to throb. After all, she is not completely sobered up yet.
