After the previous boss made his speech and introduced the new leadership with an exaggerated bow, Lance straightened his tie and walked up to the podium. It was him. Our new boss. And, by the way, the one who kept me from getting out of bed this morning, making me late for work. The culprit. - Later on, Lance told me about the things he'd done while pretending to be a broke guy for the past five years. Like how he'd gotten on a private jet but told me he was riding a bus. How every year, my birthday gifts never totaled less than 100 thousand. How all the things at home were designer brands, yet he'd told me they came from regular department stores.

It always works for me. "That very day we just exchanged glances and were formal, respecting the environment. But we met at a party somewhere, and that's when we started talking. I think it was the first time he didn't go to bed with a woman in one night.

Everything that feels wrong in her eyes she will cover up with little lies so that it will look better in her eyes. Even in the last two weeks, she had repeatedly lied to Mrs. Eden. First about not going to work because she was sick for two days, then followed by other lies the next day when she came into the office. The one lie she concocted at the start has created many more lies over the past two weeks to cover up other lies she has created before. So lying is really addictive. Once you tell a lie, then you will continue to lie to cover up the first lie. Great!

“Can you not read the title?” I looked at the cover of the book. But I knew that was not the title for I could see the make-shift cover, hiding it. I did that too. “Yes, but I am asking about the real title.” “You have good eyes.” She took off the make shift cover, and now I could read the real name of the book. It was “One Hundred Ways To Kill A Liar.” And I was lying to her. “It is a forbidden book, so don’t tell.” What she said was more of a command or a warning.

I had been desperate to earn enough money for Eva's treatment, but that had simply become a weakness they used to control me. Of course, they would throw all the dirty work at me, while promotions and raises had nothing to do with me. All this illness that plagued me was what I deserved. Suddenly, I heard soft footsteps approaching me. I turned and saw my intern, Sam. I had always thought he was kind and had real potential. Now… I was no longer sure. Even he had lied to me. It was my own fault for being blind and mistaking all the malevolent people for decent people. Without what happened today, I never would have seen their true colors.

The trick to a good lie is that you have to believe it first. Not the whole thing. Not every detail. Just the feeling of it — the emotional core you're selling. Believe the feeling, and the rest follows naturally. The posture adjusts. The eyes soften. The voice drops into exactly the right register. People don't catch liars because they spot the lie. They catch them because something in the liar's body is fighting the performance. I stopped fighting a long time ago.

“I’m sorry, but please hear me out! “Actually, I’m a fresh graduate! I’m just carrying out my internship! “John found me and asked me to play along with him by paying me a lot of money. I’ve also been forced to…” I was baffled when I heard that. “You actually harmed an old person over such a ridiculous reason!” John saw that his actions were exposed. His eyes flickered, and he started to make up stories. “Peter, Janice, I did this for a reason! “I was forced into doing this! Helen has not been pregnant after a long time. That day, she was in a bad mood when she found out that Gabby was pregnant, so she scolded her and accused Gabby of being my mistress.

"Liana, be smart. Hand over the money as a breakup fee. At least keep some dignity." I looked at the ugly expressions filling the room and suddenly laughed. I pulled out a gold card. "There’s a million in here. It was meant to be your New Year's gift." "A million dollars?" Diana’s eyes widened, then she burst into laughter. "Oh, please. What is it, fake money? If you’re going to lie, at least make it believable!" Drake sneered. "Someone like you struggles to come up with $100,000, and now you’re saying you've got a million? Do you think I’m stupid?"

It was better to go vague with the situation, because the less I spoke, the less there would be holes in my story. “Like in the case of amnesia? Or in the case of: ‘there are too many people in my life for me to remember the life story of one more insignificant person’?” -What should I answer? What answer would be more…less… what seemed closer to the truth?- What the hell was the truth anyway? I was so sexually dissatisfied that I woke up in a book?? -Even I wouldn’t buy that!
