164 He is the Reason (1/2)

'I need to know what's keeping Nyelle stressed.' Yve's thoughts recalled her best friend's face when she arrived earlier.

”So what's stressing you out?” Yve asked her best friend as soon as the door closed.

”.....”

”If you don't answer me, I'll have one of Team Alpha find out the reason why.” Yve threatened her.

Inside, she never thought of doing that. However, she just can't help but feel desperate that somehow her Nyelle isn't trusting her with her problems. Yve just wanted to be there for her friend. Especially now that she has the money, power and means to help her.

”Your engagement ring is beautiful.” Nyelle tried to divert the topic to Vince's proposal.

”I know that your opinion was considered that's why I liked everything - from the food, activity and lastly, the ring.” Yve boastfully said.

”But enough about me. Can't you tell me the reason for your insomnia?” Yve worriedly asked her.

”Actually it has something to do with the ring.” Nyelle began.

”Go on. I'm listening.”

Nyelle narrated how she met Haru and Emika and the final moments she and Edward shared at the lobby of the hotel.

”WHAT?! YOU KISSED?!” Yve shrieked like a young girl.

”Not exactly a kiss. It was more of a smack.” Nyelle defended.

”But still your lips touched.”

Nyelle could only nod her head to confirm Yve's statement.

”So do you love him?” Yve continued to pry.

Yve knew that Edward is attracted to her best friend and if the latter feels the same way, she's more than happy to act as a cupid. Since she and Vince found each other and about to seal their promise of a lifetime, these two deserve to find theirs too.

”I'm not sure if I can call this love. But...”

”But?????”

”I think I like him.”

”So, what do you have in mind? I'll gladly help you.”

”You sure about that, Yve?”

”Of course, Nyelle. You're my only best friend.”

”But I betrayed you.”
