Perhaps because it was cheap, it was snapped up the sday it was listed. Why were her earrings here with Layla now? “Your earrings look nice. Where did you get it?” Sage asked.

There was a hint of pride on Layla’s face as she replied, “You've got a good eye. These are go the latest earrings from Gorgine Fits. They are very hard to cby. Henry had a friend to great lengths to buy them for me.” t “As long as you're not mad atanymore, it's worth the effort | put in,” said Henry. His words were as sweet as honey.

Layla rolled her eyes at him and looked at Sage provocatively, saying, “Why are you staring at my earrings? Are you jealous? Does lan not buy you earrings?” “He did, but | threw them in the trash. They're the sones that are now on your ears,” Sage thought to herself. Of course, she didn’t say that out loud..

Instead, she chuckled lightly and said, “I saw a similar pair on a second-hand website a couple of days ago. | was worried you might be wearing fakes, so | wanted to take a closer look.” After hearing her words, an awkward look appeared on Henry's face, and he quickly explained, “Sage, this is definitely not a fake. Although my friend lost the certificate, | took it to the official store for verification, and it's absolutely authentic!” Sage comforted, “I only saw something similar. | didn’t say that yours was fake. Don’t worry too much. Besides, you don’t seem like someone who would buy gifts for your crush from a B second-hand website.” Henry exclaimed, “Of course not! | just didn’t want Layla to misunderstand. Next time, if she likes something, I'll bring her to pick it out at the store together!” “Ignore her. She just can’t standreceiving gifts when she doesn’t. She's just jealous!” Although Layla’s words were aggressive, her tone noticeably lacked conviction.

“If there's nothing else, Ill go change and get ready for training,” said Sage, preparing to leave.

“Go ahead then, Sage.” Henry stood up and walked out with Layla. Turning to her, he asked, “Layla, are you hungry? Where do you want to eat?” 1/2 Ignoring him, she furrowed her eyebrows, as if pondering, something. She seemed to still be shaken by Sage’s words. Although their relationship had been strained since childhood, Layla knew that Sage wouldn't casually lie about such things.

Sage also had a feeling that something was off. Layla wasn’t the type to be easily swayed by a pair of earrings.

Why did she seem closer to Henry all of a sudden? What had happened in the past few days? She thought of checking Layla’s social media but found herself unable to see any of her posts. Layla had restricted her account to “Chat Only“, She was worried about Layla’s future, but the latter didn’t even treat her like a sister! Forget it. She could be with whoever she wanted! Feeling angry at the thought, Sage vented her frustration on the punching bag, As she punched the punching bag with all her strength, the coach mistook her for someone learning boxing and brought her gloves.

After spending two hours at the sports complex, she was dripping with sweat. As she was about to leave, she noticed a missed call from Layla.

She called back and asked, “What's up?” With an unpleasant tone, Layla said, “This afternoon, you mentioned seeing my earrings on a second-hand website. Take a screenshot and send it to me.” Sage scoffed and rebutted, “I don’t owe you anything. What's with the attitude?” “Sage Joyner, don't act like we're still kids! Haven't you bulliedenough when we were kids?”
