Chapter 449 Billionaire's Lies

Eliana Thompson was always the kind of person who clung to the people she loved, but her best friend Clarisse Campbell was not. She and Clarisse had been friends for years, but it wasn't the years alone that made their relationship unique it was the history, the secrets shared, the way they could converse for hours on end without ever coming up short.
That night, after what seemed like forever of sidestepping difficult conversations, Eliana finally said she would meet Clarisse for coffee. They hadn't spoken in a while, and she knew speaking things through with Clarisse could help both of them get their heads clear. It wasn't about being friends; it was about closure at least, that's what Eliana hoped. She couldn't help but be a little nervous, though, knowing the inevitable question would arise.
When they greeted each other at the café, Clarisse wrapped Eliana in a big hug, her arms wrapping around her as if they hadn't seen one another in years. Clarisse was always the huggy one, the one who had her heart on her sleeve, and it was impossible not to get caught up in her warmth.
