    She could find no retort.

    In the end, Lisa brought Terry home with her.


    When they arrived home, Lisa’s parents weed Terry enthusiastically. They even asked him to stay


    for dinner.


    Terry naturally agreed, much to Lisa’s horror. She was worried that he might blurt out her secret if he


    stayed for too long.

    Lisa dragged Terry Lnto her room almost immediately after the meal “When are you going to leave?”


    “Why are you so eager for me to leave?” he asked with raised eyebrows.


    Sheughed dryly. “I’m worried that my parents‘ enthusiasm might annoy you. As you know, they really


    think that you’re my boyfriend, so they must be asking you all kinds of questions.”


    “They’re not annoying, Chatting with them is quite interesting,” said Terry. He could learn new things


    about her like her childhood experiences by chatting with her parents. They would often mention things


    like that in passing


    “Also, from now on, no matter what problem you run into, remember to call me. You’re not allowed to


    ask Serenity for help anymore,” said Terry.


    ‘Serenity’s my friend. It’s normal for me to turn to her for help,” she argued.


    He chuckled softly as if he was mocking her. “If you keep turning to Serenity for help, Jackson Valor


    might assassinate you.”


    Lisa shuddered and said, “You’re exaggerating.”


    “Exaggerating?” Terry raised his eyebrows, “Jackson Valor is not a generous man. From our trip to San


    Marco, you can tell how important Serenity is to him. The closer you and Serenity are, the more jealous


    he will be.”


    Lisa recalled the feeling she got in the car. Jackson’s reaction did resemble jealousy. Could he really


    be… “But I’m a woman!” she blurted out.


    said Terry, “You read plenty ofics about gay men. Women can be gay too.”


    “Lisa felt like she had been pped on the face. But the problem was, she and Serenity were really just


    friends. “I can… swear in front of Jackson Valor that there’s nothing between Serenity and I other than


    friendship,” said Lisa.


    Her words made Terry roll his eyes.

    “As long as you contact me first instead of Serenity when you run into trouble from m on, Jackson Valor


    will not misunderstand,” said Terry.


    Actually, he was jealous of the friendship between Lisa and Serenity too. Even though he knew that


    they were just friends, he was still jealouS.


    Three years ago, Lisa returned to help Serenity without leaving him a single word.


    Lisa could only agree for now. She could not believe how hard it was for two women to maintain a pure


    friendship nowadays.


    Terry then said, “I’ll have awyer follow up on your dispute.”


    “Thank you so much!” She quickly thanked him. After all, awyer could save her a lot of trouble going


    forward. “One more thing—“his voice trailed off, “Howe your coworkers don’t know that you have a


    boyfriend?”
