Chapter 38: Chapter 38 CHAPTER

　　I quickly wiped the tears away from my face and swallowed the lump in my throat, sitting on the chair behind my desk.

　　After taking a satisfying sip of water in a cup positioned on my table, I grabbed my phone from the top of my table and plugged my earphone into its slot.

　　My anger abated after listening to a couple of songs from my phone.

　　“Yoo-Mi, are you alright?” Lia asked stepping into my office through the door I left open.

　　“Yeah,” I mumbled and she let out a little laugh. She walked up to me and peered into my face making me feel uneasy.

　　“You’re definitely not alright, I can see dried tears on your face.” She teased and sat on a chair facing me, her fingers drawing invisible lines on my table.

　　"Lia," I was about to tell her everything when I was cut off by JB.

　　“Hey girls, let’s take a break. You’ve been working so hard, your face is going to be permanently like that.” JB laughed pointing out the frown on my face.
