Chapter 40: Keep Distance
For Amber, this news was actually good news. However, she was still angry because of the incident that happened at her welcoming event. Was Victoria actually playing her now? Since that event, she had become less and less trustful of Victoria’s words that sounded like nonsense. Now she needed proof that Victoria really didn’t love Matthias.
"Why are you talking so suddenly?"
"Because I can see what’s on your mind lately. You’re really questioning my relationship with Matthias when in fact we’re just friends. Then, Matthias always treats me more than a friend. Therefore, I want to clarify again."
A sarcastic smile appeared on his face. "If you were me, you would definitely feel the same way. Just think about it! Matthias suddenly carried you and covered your body with his jacket. Even though you are just friends, Matthias treats you like his girlfriend or wife. Wouldn’t I be jealous?"
"Regarding that, I actually feel uncomfortable too. I’m embarrassed to be treated like that."
Amber snapped her fingers. "Therefore, as your best friend now, I would like to advise you to keep your distance from him."
"I... keep my distance?"
"Of course. If you’re uncomfortable because he treats you too much even though you’re just friends, you should keep your distance. For your own good. Are you going to act awkward every time you meet Matthias? Every time you meet him, your mind always wanders to what happened back then."
Victoria tended to object greatly to Amber’s suggestion. Although she actually still hated Matthias, it didn’t mean she wanted to keep her distance. Because she had already started to feel comfortable with him. However, because of hearing Matthias’ mother’s words yesterday, she was forced to follow Amber’s wishes.
