Chapter 4

The next day.

Initially, I had arranged to accompany Cici from school to InterReach Media, but she abruptly suggested we meet directly at the company in the morning instead.

I didn't want to go originally, and now I wasn't in the mood to face any interviews.

For that, my elder brother also managed InterReach Media. It was a matter of minutes for me to work there.

Just to accompany Cici. Cici's family conditions were not good, so I never talked about these things before her.

After crying all night, my eyes were swollen and puffy, whereas Cici stood beside me, radiant.

This atmosphere was becoming increasingly bizarre and strange.

The people who could participate in the interview were all selected. InterReach Media was one of the top three companies in the industry. Many students applied for jobs there every year, and those who could get in were definitely the top students from various schools.

Cici looked at me absentmindedly and pushed me, "Sonia, if you're tired, just sleep on this sofa. I'll call you when it starts."

I didn't sleep well last night, and now hearing her words was like a curse. I nodded and fell asleep on the sofa.

In a daze, I heard some movement around me and heard someone say that it was about to start.

But my eyelids felt weighed down, and Cici assured me she would wake me up, so I drifted off into a peaceful slumber.

I slept soundly this time, and upon waking, the first face I saw was Stephen's.

He looked at me with a smile, and I was stunned momentarily, "Stephen, what are you doing here?"

"Why am I here? I haven't even asked you why you're sleeping here. What did you do last night?" asked Stephen.

"I, I came here for the interview. It's your company's fault for being so slow, no efficiency at all." I got angry when I mentioned it last night. It was all Stephen's fault.

He played with the pen in his hand and laughed, "Sonia, look at the time: The interview was over a long time ago."

I took out my phone and looked at it, only to find that it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. There were no students around for interviews.

Stephen's voice continued, "I just returned from outside and saw a beautiful girl lying so openly on the sofa in the lobby. Oh, isn't this my precious sister? I thought you came to find me."

"Why did I find you? I told you not to drive me to school, but you insisted on doing so. And that bag, I asked you to take it home, but you insisted on giving it to me." I shouted.

"What's the issue with a brother offering to drive his sister? You've been in college for four years now, and I haven't even had the chance to pick you up even once. With graduation looming, what harm would there be in me driving you to school for once? Besides, Dad mentioned that backpacks aren't allowed during your internship, so he's asked me to pass this bag on to you. How could I possibly disobey him?" said Stephen.

"You are right, I'm leaving. Going back to school." I answered

"I'll drive you back."

"Don't mention it, Stephen. I really appreciate it! Last time when you drove me back, you directly sent away my boyfriend."

"Sonia, what kind of boyfriend is he? I have a buddy; let me introduce him to you."

"Stop it, Stephen. Don't mess around. The successful people around you are not suitable for me."

"Then I'll drive you back."

Five minutes later, I sat in his Ferrari again.

Chapter 5

Because before I refused, he said, "It's because others don't know you have a brother that they misunderstand you. It would be better if I drive you a few more times so that everyone can get to know me."

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 "

Stephen's words were like a curse. I couldn't believe my most trusted person and the person I liked would betray me.

After I exposed the cheating scumbag and my angelic bitch best friend, my angelic bitch best friend proceeded to seduce my current boyfriend.
