Chapter 196: Chapter 197

There was a look of shock on Jocleyn’s face. “How is that possible? When did this happen? Does Yuni not care about the audio recording that I have?”

Lexie cried desperately. Jocelyn had never seen her so upset before.

She looked at Jocelyn and started crying even harder. “Why does she have to care about that? They’re already together. If I tell Davis then I like him right now, do you think they will break up? I’ll just be putting myself in a more difficult position. Yuni must have guessed that this would happen!” Lexie hugged Jocelyn and cried out loud, “Jocelyn, what should I do? I’ve liked him for almost seven years. It’s been seven years. How can I let go of him? I can still comfort myself when he didn’t have a girlfriend back then. I can’t even comfort myself right now. Am I way too weak? Am I being a coward for not daring to confess my feelings to him? Is that why someone else got together with him first? I’m such a fool, right?”

This news was way too sudden. Lexie cried in devastation. Jocelyn felt rather panicked. “Xixi, don’t cry.

Tell me everything first. What happened? How do you know that both of them got together?”

Lexie tried her best to stop crying. She then told Jocelyn everything that had happened in a disorderly manner Jocelyn made a vague inference about what happened.

Yesterday night, Davis had attended the alumni gathering as well. However, he was at the buffet held in the conference hall on the top floor of the hotel.

He had disappeared for three years after his graduation. His ex-roommates made him drink a lot.

Yuni happened to call Davis just after he got drunk.

His ex-roommates thought that Yuni was his girlfriend, so they asked her to fetch Davis. After that, everything took its course naturally. They headed to the room that Davis’s ex-roommates had prepared for him in Quintus Hotel. It was unclear if Yuhi had taken advantage of Davis or if things just led to another as they were intoxicated.

Davis was a responsible man. When he saw the red marks on the mattress in the morning, he asked Yuni to be his girlfriend.

Lexie went to the office early. There were not many people in the office. She then caught sight of Davis and Yuni kissing in the design department.

Back then, Lexie had felt extremely distraught and defeated. After that, Yuni started acting more haughtily. She taunted Lexie with her new status and even spoke to Lexie in an arrogant and mocking tone. she told Lexie that she thought that it was extremely difficult to pursue Davis! Davis was a pure-

hearted man. They had just slept together once, and he immediately took responsibility for his own actions! What an easy man!

Lexie had pursued Davis for such a long time, and yet she still did not dare to say anything to him. How pitiful!

Yuni had won by obtaining the title of Davis’s girlfriend. She had crushed the feelings that Lexie had for Davis for several years.

Jocelyn hugged Lexie tight and comforted her. However, she could not tell her anything useful.

One could only get over heartbreak on their own.

However, Jocelyn was also considering if she should expose Yuni for who she was and let Davis take a closer look at her this time around.

Or should she use this opportunity to convince Lexie to give up on Skyler? To be honest, she favored the latter option. After all, Davis was a good man. He was capable and responsible. He also had a righteous heart.

However, he did not seem to suit Lexie well.

He had a bad eye for women, and he was terrible at detecting scheming b*tches. Jocelyn did not want Lexie to be with a man that Yuni Shaw had dumped. It had been six years. Lexie has yet to take a step forward to Davis. The problem might not be on Lexie.

Actually, the way Davis treated her directly affected her decisions and feelings for Davis.

Although one had good self-judgment regarding their own relationships, Jocelyn did not look upon Lexie’s crush on Davis favorably.

Jocelyn was about to say something when her phone rang.

The call was from Abel. Jocelyn was deciding whether to pick up the call or not.

Lexie let go of Jocelyn and whimpered, “You should pick up your phone!”

Jocelyn pursed her lips and accepted the call. “Hello, Lil Sis, you’re back in Mauve City, right?” Jocelyn nodded and said, “Yes, I’m back!” Abel raised his brow and said, “Why do you sound rather down? Did anything happen?”

Jocelyn shook her head and said, “Nope, are you alright?” Abel went straight to the point.

“Congratulations on winning an award in the Ocean Heart Jewelry Competition! Let me remind you of something. Did you forget that you promised to treat me to a meal after the competition?” Jocelyn glanced at Lexie, pursed her lips, and said, “I didn’t forget. However, I might not be free nowadays!”

Abel was slightly stunned. He said in a disappointed tone, “I see, we can talk about having a meal together later on. However, I opened a bar. It’ll be launching tonight. I wanted to invite you over so that we could have fun!”

Jocelyn rejected his offer without even thinking twice. “Congratulations on the launch of your bar! However, I really don’t have the time. I won’t be coming over tonight!” As soon as she finished speaking, Lexie looked at her. Her face was stained with tears. “Go ahead! I’ll come with you! I feel like drinking!” Jocelyn was stunned. She then said, “In that case, I’ll come over tonight. My friend isn’t in a good mood. I can drink with her tonight!”

Abel’s mood instantly brightened up. He nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll wait for you guys. I’ll send the address over to you in a bit!”

Jocelyn nodded and hung up on the phone. She then glanced at Lexie instinctively. Lexie had already stopped crying. “Jocelyn, I’m fine now. Don’t worry!”

How could Jocelyn believe what she said? She said, “Alright, you should go wash your face first. I’ll bring you out to have fun tonight. If you can’t bring yourself to work today, take a day off!”

Lexie shook her head in dismay. “It’s alright, something like this… Anyways, it won’t kill me!”

Jocelyn wanted to say something, but she could not bring herself to say anything. She did not know what she should say.

She accompanied Lexie to the washroom and washed her hands. Finally, she could not resist telling her, “Xixi, keep an open mind. Things that are meant to be with you can’t be snatched away by anyone else.

Things that don’t belong to you will never stay by your side even if you chain them to yourself!” Lexie was still extremely down. “I got it!”

After sending Lexie to the IT department, Jocelyn returned to the design department. Jocelyn returned to the design department. She noticed that Abel had sent over an address. When she clicked into her notifications, she realized that someone had requested to follow her on Instagram.

The account’s profile picture was black in color, and its display name was a full stop. It was as simple as it could get. Jocelyn felt extremely frustrated. She declined the request without giving it much thought.

She did not expect that account to request to follow her again as soon as she declined their previous request. Jocelyn could not resist frowning. She declined that account’s follow request at once. That person seemed to finally give up this time around. Jocelyn picked up her design draft and intended to start sketching her draft.

However, she received another follow request.

This time, she received a message along with the request. “This is Skyler Moore.”
