Chapter 46 Why Lie (1/2)

Jonny was presenting in the school hall. School leaders deemed this conference of great importance made even more pronounced by the president who came to witness the event. Outside the conference room, students waited in line for the conference to commence.

”Amelia, take a seat at the front table. I'm afraid that I might be unable to find you if you sit too far.” A few minutes before the opening, Jonny found Amelia and pointed at the table in the first row.

Amelia quickly waved her hand. ”Jonny, I'll take the back seat.” It was too eye-catching to sit in the first row. Amelia wasn't much of the type to grab attention.

Jonny knew that Amelia would refuse him. He smiled and said, ”If you sit too far, you wouldn't be cheering me on. You'll just make me even more anxious in front of this crowd. Not to mention, the president himself.”

The speech was about to start and the students all took their seats. If she hesitated, it would take Jonny some time. Therefore, she had to agree reluctantly, ”Okay, Jonny. Go for it!”

She sat in the first row which gave Jonny the confidence boost he needed.

Amelia was well aware the guests were school leaders and special guests. She felt a little awkward sitting there among the distinguished people.

Realizing that no one was looking at her, she was relieved. 'Perhaps sitting here was better than I thought,' she said to herself.

The host gave a speech after the opening of the event. It was a good time to go back to middle school.

At the same time, Lucian sat in the VIP seat led by others.

all wrong, she couldn't explain it clearly. But she thought it was better to not say anything at all. She was afraid that if she explained it, Lucian would misunderstand her relationship with Jonny even more.
