"You will come?" he asks instead of answering .
"If you"ll invite me . " she hardly smile .
"Sure . I get you one invitation when we finalize everything . " he said .
"Thanks . " she smiled at him .

Behind those smiles at him, is pain . She hardly contained the pain she is feeling at this very moment . She smiled at Lyndon but that smile is not a smile at all . It did not reach her eyes .

"Lyndon . " she called .
"Hmm . . Yes?" he answered . He noticed that something is bothering with Lizzy and he wanted to know what it is .
"I have something to tell you . " she said . Her heart begins to thump loudly .

"Go on . "
"Can we still be friends, even after this?" she hesitantly asked . She wanted to preserve their friendship that"s why she didn"t confess back then in their college days .
"What are you implying? asked the man instead of answering her question . He"s sensing that there"s something not right with his friend and he can"t directly point out what it is .
" I love you . " blurted out Lizzy .
Lyndon stopped his hands in mid-air . He was about to shove a piece of strawberry cake in his mouth when Lizzy confessed . He looked at the woman across him with an unreadable expression . He was quite taken aback when he heard something like that from he thought his best friend . He never imagined that Lizzy would have romantic feelings for him all this while . Instead of eating the cake, he put it down and stared at Lizzy"s burning face .
"I"m sorry . I can"t answer your feelings for me . I have someone I love . " he outright rejected her . He didn"t want her to hope that there could be a possibility for them .

"I know . I just want to let you know so that I can move on and find someone else . " she painfully let out a smile . She really wanted to cry because it hurt so much but she couldn"t possibly let Lyndon see that .
"You can find better man than me . " said Lyndon demoting himself . He wanted to cheer Lizzy on but he knew that it would only hurt her even more so, he could only say that .
She just faintly smiled at him while drinking her tea . She looked at her wrist.w.a.tch and learned that it"s almost 8 pm .
"I"ll better get going . It"s getting late and I have some appointment too . " she bid him farewell .
"Sure . See you around . " he then called Butler Chen to accompany her to the front door .
Lizzy don"t have any engagements that night . She just find herself an excuse to leave him . She couldn"t bear the pain anymore so she said that . That night, she cried very hard to the point where her eyes became puffy and her voice became hoa.r.s.e . She promised herself that it will be her last cry because of love . Not knowing the future for her .
