When Love Is a Lie (Whitney and Damian) novel Chapter 55

Two days later, Whitney waited for the elevator. When the doors opened, Noel stood there in workout clothes.

"Feeling better?" Noel asked as he saw her dressed in her work attire.

He noticed how much thinner she looked. Her illness had clearly taken a toll.

Whitney ignored him and walked past him into the elevator without a word. She pressed the button without sparing him a glance. She watched him with a blank face as the doors slid shut. Since she was such an annoyance to him, she would treat him like a stranger too.

…

As Whitney was waiting for the elevator at her office, she noticed someone approaching.

"Whitney, thanks for giving up your mother's medicine for me."

The elevator was agonizingly slow, stopping at almost every floor. Whitney kept her eyes fixed on the descending numbers, ignoring Rachel.

Rachel wasn't bothered. She leaned in and asked with concern, "You look like you've lost weight. I hope you're not sick because Damian gave me the medicine instead. I only asked once, and he agreed so quickly. I know you waited very long for that medicine. I'll feel bad if you got sick because of that."

Her voice was so gentle anyone watching might believe she felt bad.

Whitney was tired of listening to her, so she took the stairs, only to pause and turn back.

Rachel still had a smug look when Whitney said sarcastically, "You're giving yourself too much credit. It makes you look like a fool."

Rachel's smile faltered. "What's that supposed to mean?"

Whitney smirked. "You think he did it for you? Guess you're just as clueless as I was."

Like her, Rachel didn't know Damian well enough.

For so long, Whitney had believed Damian didn't love her because Rachel held his heart. But now? She wasn't so sure. All she knew was that whoever held his heart, it wasn't her.

Seeing Rachel's confusion, Whitney walked away without another word. Rachel stood there, stunned, before snapping out of it.
