She could find no retort.
In the end, Lisa brought Terry home with her. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
When they arrived home, Lisa’s parents welcomed Terry enthusiastically. They even asked him to stay for dinner.
Terry naturally agreed, much to Lisa’s horror. She was worried that he might blurt out her secret if he stayed for too long.
Lisa dragged Terry Lnto her room almost immediately after the meal “When are you going to leave?”
“Why are you so eager for me to leave?” he asked with raised eyebrows.
She laughed dryly. “I’m worried that my parents‘ enthusiasm might annoy you. As you know, they really think that you’re my boyfriend, so they must be asking you all kinds of questions.”

“Also, from now on, no matter what problem you run into, remember to call me. You’re not allowed to ask Serenity for help anymore,” said Terry.

Her words made Terry roll his eyes.

“As long as you contact me first instead of Serenity when you run into trouble from m on, Jackson Valor will not misunderstand,” said Terry.
Actually, he was jealous of the friendship between Lisa and Serenity too. Even though he knew that they were just friends, he was still jealouS.
Three years ago, Lisa returned to help Serenity without leaving him a single word.
Lisa could only agree for now. She could not believe how hard it was for two women to maintain a pure friendship nowadays.
Terry then said, “I’ll have a lawyer follow up on your dispute.”
“Thank you so much!” She quickly thanked him. After all, a lawyer could save her a lot of trouble going forward. “One more thing—“his voice trailed off, “How come your coworkers don’t know that you have a boyfriend?”
