At the company's annual party, we were playing Truth or Dare. Lucas Reed lost, and the question was, "Who in this room do you most want to hug?" Everyone's eyes turned to me; after all, Lucas had pursued me for three years, and we were getting married next month. But Lucas's gaze skipped right over me, landing on a girl sitting quietly in the corner. It was Nina Hart who returned to the country. She was Lucas's unattainable first love. "Sorry, I choose to hug," Lucas said. He walked straight over to Nina and hugged her right in front of everyone. "Nina just got back, so I wanted to give her a proper welcome," Lucas said. He turned back to me with a smile. "Vivian, you've always been the most understanding. You wouldn't really mind something this small, would you?" Nina's cheeks flushed, and her fingers quietly tightened around the hem of Lucas's shirt. Watching this, I suddenly felt that three years of my youth were truly meaningless. I grabbed my phone and texted my family: [Fine, I'll go through with that business marriage.] Lucas, since you picked your precious Nina, I guess I would find someone way better than you.
