I was so angry, so distraught by the destruction, I didn’t notice what he did. When I sat in the chair, it still felt like my mom. I closed my eyes, remembering the times I would sit on her lap and learn something from her. She always had interesting things to say to me. Sometimes they were sayings that didn’t make sense at the time but make sense now. “Gentle eyes and a sharp tongue, leads to deception. But sharp eyes and a gentle tongue lead to truth.” Like I said, little sayings. I could apply that to most recent conversations with Jasper, Giselle, and hell, even Diane. It makes it easy to see who is deceiving you. But when you are a kid with no experience in the world, it means nothing.

“Relax will you, your heart, think of your heart.” “You know I do not have that when it comes to you and your jokes.” The managers foreshadowing words. Like screaming from the inside that Aaron’s lies and jokes will not buy him a free pass, nor he will be able to fool an experience and smart woman like her. “Come on, I am not playing games right now. Besides, I didn’t confirm to everyone that what they just think is the truth. You all jump to the conclusion without even knowing the facts.” “Really?”

It felt as if she would discover it immediately. So I just stood there, lost for words. Then her eyes widened as if a realization came over her. “Oh my goodness, is it true?” I pulled my head back, surprised again. “What is that supposed to mean?” She chuckled, amused. “My goodness, I only said that as a joke. I never actually thought it was true, but by your reaction, it is clear that there is an element of truth to it.” I swallowed. “Ellie, stop saying nonsense. None of that is true.”

He has been making me feel like he wants to court me but I don't take what he says seriously so he can't court me formally. "When the crow turns white, I might answer your courtship," I joked to him with a smile. Anjo just scratched when our colleagues at work laughed when they heard my answer to him. We are better off like this. Making everything a joke rather than taking it seriously because he would only be hurt by me.

It was echoing across the whole room, and I swear I wanted to push his head off for finding it funny as if he was both mocking and bullying me for the idea of revenge. His eyes shifted to me with a lopsided grin, “Awe, what's that frown for? Did you really believe that? Well, I have to warn you, I’m just joking. ” He said, "They say I was never the serious type of person, so do not believe what I said." I maintained my poker face, scowling at him, “That’s not a good joke. That’s treason.” I said, “And you are their triplet.”

What kind of sick joke was this? "It's true, Miss, it's an ectopic pregnancy, and you are in labor!”

"Pray, tell me, was that a jest at my expense?" Aabroo's eyes sparkled with mirth as she exclaimed, "Heaven forbid that I should be sarcastic to the king, the earthly representative of the Almighty!" She clapped her hand over her mouth, her shoulders shaking with suppressed laughter. "I assure you, dear brother, my intent was purely playful." "I was just jesting," she murmured, her voice barely audible. "I offer my sincerest apologies, brother, if my words caused any offense." Samarth's gentle smile put her at ease. "No offense was taken, my dear," he said, his hand extending to pat her cheek affectionately.

" Lillian asked Jay,he wasn't behaving cheerful like before,he looked afraid and nervous. "Am I not supposed to?" It still rained and it was past nine pm. " It was a joke" Joy said it was a joke smiling, she noticed everyone in the room was looking serious and Jay's hand trembled. " You said truth,but you were playing, it was a joke? That was one expensive joke." Mark placed his fingers on Lillian's shoulder, he told her to calm down,he was also calming himself down. "Am I not allowed to tell jokes? You all are just like him,pretending to be nice when you're not !"

I believe you heard me right," he said. The nerve of this ghost! Who Knew that he could be this naughty? I think I need to go to a character class because it's becoming obvious that I had misjudged him. Now I see the reason for that phrase. Never judge a book by its cover. I made a simple sentence and the devilish ghost before me turned it into a joke about his size... yeah, that size you are thinking of. "Is there no filter to the words that come out of your mouth?“ I asked, dabbing a towel on my mouth to clean the residues of the spilt orange juice. I was lucky that I hadn't spilt it on my food. If I had done that, then you all know how it would have ended. My fork buried deep in the throa
