Chapter 71 Itching Cream

• BETH.
• It's been days and the news about me betraying my friend hasn't died down yet. I stopped going to work because of the stares I got at work. No one needed to tell me that the murmurs I heard whenever I passed by were about the rumour they heard about me. I called Lara to ask why she manipulated the things I said on the call, but she refused to pick up my calls. I called the other girls too, but they refused to pick up my call either. The only person I had with me was Tony. Luca also supported me, but he was distant due to work.
• I sighed as I got down from my car and approached the door of the hall. It was the wedding party of one of our friends from college. This was my first outing ever since the leak of the voice note, but I was now ready to face the world and get over the shame. Tony also told me he'd support me through it all, and I believe him. I sighed one more time, closed my eyes and opened it before walking into the hall. As I walked into the hall and I saw people in twos and threes greeting one another, I cleared my throat and found a nearby chair to sit on.
