Let alone the fact that I lied to him for another man.
"Who is this?" Wilson asked.
I stood up and said, "This is my friend. We grew up together. He's a junior in the computer science department at Turner University."
Wilson smiled. He revealed a canine tooth. "So, he's my senior."
Xavier let out a cold laugh. He didn't respond.
I reached out and pinched his sleeve. I looked at him with obedient eyes. I clearly showed I was admitting my mistake.
His expression softened noticeably.
I sensed an opportunity and was about to speak again. But then I heard Wilson say, "Would you like to sit down and join us? I get along well with Mila. It makes sense to meet her friends."
I was speechless.
Sure enough, the softened look on Xavier's face changed again.
Damn...
I was about to pull Xavier away. I wanted to explain everything to him.
Then I heard a soft female voice, "Xavier, what's wrong?"
I followed the voice and saw a woman in a white cotton dress. She walked over. Her figure was faintly visible.
Each of her steps was light and slow.
She was Xavier's ex-girlfriend.
The explanation I wanted to give got stuck in my throat. I couldn't say it.
