Lies and Alibis
“When your career is doing good, your lovelife will suffer.” She never really paid much attention to that saying, but now she believes it.

The one she loves doesn’t lover her back. And now her supposed-to-be-groom stood her up. In front of Kippei.. What would he think of her now? What is so wrong with her?? “I’ll probably never get married.” She muttered to herself.. Turning her back on him.
