"I once called him up from here, and a woman picked up his phone," Sari replied, revealing it for the first time.

"Okay, so?" Sayuri asked.

"It was early morning at that time! And she said Kyle was still sleeping!"

"Okay. Again, so?" Sayuri asked, her face in a frown, "What has that got to do with Kyle lying or cheating on you?"

"Why else would a woman be in his apartment so early in the morning? While he was sleeping?"

"Er, duh?" Sayuri replied while rolling her eyes, "There are SO many reasons. You only thought of one and decided it was THE reason? Did you ever ask him about it?"

"No, don't answer that. You didn't," Sayuri said, "And if you did, would you have believed him?"

Sari opened her mouth to say 'yes, she would' when Sayuri put up her hand with a cynical smile.

"You would? Really? If he had told you why that woman was there, you would have thought he was lying to cover it up, right?" Sayuri demanded.

"Don't belittle me by lying. You're even lying to yourself. That's how bad you are," Sayuri scoffed.

Sari's face was red with anger at that accusation but held it in. She wasn't the type to shout angrily in public, after all. 

"Listen. Honey. Let me lay it out for you okay? I'll do it really slowly so that even you can understand this," Sayuri said condescendingly.

She was so done with this girl in front of her. 

And so, so glad that Kyle wasn't with her anymore. If they were still a couple, Sayuri was convinced that she would have developed some sort of disease with all the bottled-up frustration she would have had watching them together.

"This incident happened when he was away, correct?" Sayuri asked, propping up her chin the palm of her hand, her elbow on the table.

Sari nodded.

"Kyle was facing one of the toughest battle ever in his life: his CEO position. He was working almost non-stop all that time, sometimes not sleeping for several days. He was working from his apartment because he was still in hiding so yes, his most trusted assistants would be there with him. In his apartment. Working," Sayuri revealed.

"So a woman picking up his phone in his apartment early morning? No surprise there," Sayuri said, "He has capable people with him and this can actually include women!"

Sayuri even gave an exaggerated surprised face, making Sari feel more uncomfortable (and stupid).

"He never said anything," Sari defended herself, "If I had known then …"

"Did you ask? Why didn't you ask?" Sayuri asked back, raising an eyebrow.

"How do you know so much about him? About that day? It's obvious you were close to him then and now, you ... you're sleeping with him, so …"

"Stop right there. Don't start assuming and making up things. Well, at least you're opening your mouth more so that is a plus," Sayuri replied, "I know because I ask."

"Why would I be so close to him to be able to ask? First, he's my senior in high school. Second, I was one of those people that helped him secure his CEO position, so I would naturally know the amount of work he was doing. Third, I was there as his sounding board when he was at the lowest and darkest moment of his life."


Sayuri laid her hands on the table and said, "I know he doesn't lie and I would never doubt him in that. If he doesn't want to answer, he won't. He wouldn't lie to cover it up."

"You know, you really did something very, very stupid by letting go of such a good man," Sayuri said, "Not that I'm complaining because if it wasn't for that, I wouldn't be able to sleep with him now."

Sayuri couldn't help giving her a small smile while licking her lips, then biting the bottom lip, "And he's damn good in that area."

She shook her head, as if dispelling the memories that she was having and looked back at Sari.

"Having doubts in a relationship is normal but once you don't trust your partner, then it is doomed," Sayuri carried on, "I'm not saying you should trust blindly, but you shouldn't doubt blindly either."

"Make that judgment call yourself. Ask, and if you still doubt then trust your gut and find out more. Don't just sit there and use your wild imagination to create things," Sayuri said.

"Anyway, the past is the past. I can see that you're moving on and improving - just based on this alone, I can see that."

"But the fact that you still think the worst of Kyle just eats up at me," Sayuri admitted, "He doesn't deserve the way you painted him. He's never tried to hide what he's like. You just never gave him the chance."

"Pity," Sayuri said with a sigh then grinned.

"Actually, no because now I have him," Sayuri said, "And yes, I am gloating. But it is a pity that he's closed his heart but I'll take what I can."

"Kyle is not only he the most loyal, but he's also the most honest," Sayuri said, "If you don't believe me, then just ask him two questions."

"What questions?"

"Whether I'm sleeping with him, and whether he intends to marry me," Sayuri said.

"WHAT?!"

"See, wouldn't the truth about both questions paint him in a bad picture? If he's really as bad as you think he is, he would lie, right?" Sayuri pointed, "And if he doesn't lie, then it means he never did and never will."

"Don't you want to know?" Sayuri prodded gently then goaded her further, "Don't you owe him this, at least?"

Sari nodded reluctantly, though asking those questions would certainly be very difficult for her.

But Sayuri was right.

She still had this lingering doubt. She didn't truly believe Kay about Kyle telling her about his sex life. 

"Does Kay know?"
