I honestly believed there was some truth to that statement. Had everyone known from the start of school that he was my brother, my situation today wouldn't have escalated to what it is now.
In the car, Stephen brought up the topic of my father's wish for me to join the group post-graduation. As a result, my dad had never allowed Stephen to involve himself in the matters of the headquarters group, patiently waiting for me to finish my studies. Truthfully, I understood that my dad was trying to make amends, but that particular incident had already passed, and more importantly, I was still here, alive and well. I was already deeply grateful for that.
The speed of the Ferrari was really impressive. In a moment, we arrived at the school gate. As soon as I exited the car, I felt a hot gaze staring at me.
Following the gaze, it was John. But unexpectedly, Cici was also there. Without thinking too much, I happily wanted to go over and explain to him, and my brother was there too. "Stephen, that's John, the top student in our school's IT department. I was planning to introduce him to you recently."
Stephen smiled and patted my head, "Sonia, my little sister is growing up so fast! Is that your boyfriend who misunderstands you?"
"Yes, please help me explain to him."
Stephen squeezed out a sentence, "OK, actually I didn't want to."
I just called out to John, and he looked at me angrily when he saw me walking towards him. Without waiting for me to speak, he said angrily, "Sonia, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. Get lost and never come find me again."
After saying that, without waiting for me to speak, he pulled Cici and left.
Leaving me in the wind in a mess?
The crucial aspect was that he grabbed Cici, yet Cici remained silent and didn't even glance at me.
"Stephen, your taste in men is not good," came Stephen's sneaky voice from beside.
"There must be a misunderstanding, and I'll go ask him," I answered.
"Are you still deceiving yourself? He already has a new love. Why are you so foolish," said Stephen.
"What new love are you talking about? Stephen, that's Cici, my dear friend from high school," I said, feeling increasingly guilty with each word.
On the other hand, Stephen laughed at what I said, "My silly sister, only you treat her as your best friend. She sees you as a fool."
"Alright, Stephen. You should go now. Keep in touch "
