“You could have at least lied to her about the parchment.” Flora didn’t respond. She couldn’t. Her jaw hurt when she tried to speak. When Freya casually asked when Orien handed her the parchment, she had blurted out the truth. Sometimes speaking the truth was a bad thing. However, she always sucked at lying. Her small brain stopped working when she tried. “You’re fortunate I was there. Her Majesty doesn’t know I got you out of the room.” The cleaner’s face hovered above her. “It will be better if you just left and never came back.”

"Act like understanding me is something you're entitled to." His jaw tightened. "I'm not acting like anything." "You sent me a message designed to get inside my head and now you're standing here acting like that's honesty. It's not honesty. It's strategy." "Everything is strategy with you," he said, and the flatness in his voice had acquired an edge now, something genuine and sharp. "Someone does something that isn't purely calculated and you immediately find the angle in it because you can't imagine anyone doing anything that isn't about winning something."

I said "Yeah, am sorry about. You called for this interview cause you wanted to say something to the whole world, what might that be?" "We don't really have much time to spend here cause we have another schedule so I'll just go straight to the point, Lucy and I aren't dating, everything was a lie, the pregnancy was a lie and the proposal was fake too, there were certain circumstances that made us announce all those things back then and we can't just continue lying to all of you so we decided to let you know now, we are really sorry for lying to you all, we deeply regret it and I hope you all will be able to forgive me" I said with a gloomy face **********

He asked as he crossed his legs. Jay held back his "is that true sir? Are you dating Dita?"Asked the incredulous Gilang. Jay sighed and replied "that's not true" Haikal sighed and smiled smrik to Jay "I have strong evidence, sir, do not lie" said Haikal. "You must have gotten that proof from the image," jay said.

He would do his homework on her and would definitely find out whatever dirty secret they are hiding. “ Uhm, darling.. we- we- we were..” Layla stuttered. That was the first mistake she made and Amelia sighed inwardly. How dumb! First rule of telling a good lie is to never stutter no matter what you are being asked. Instead buy time by talking about things not related while you think of what and what to say.

I was so stressed from school activities and I just needed a day off”, he blurted, coming up with such an unbelievable lie. A typical cock and bull story. It would've been much believable if he said that he saw a white elephant, rather than him going to the amusement park.

Su Lan: “I ate the antidote. I had made it beforehand (Lies without blinking).” Su Lan (in her mind): One of the good things about my poker face and hardly ever speaking lies is that everyone would believe me even if I did lie. Oh well this counts as a white lie...after all I did have a blessing skill to be immune to all poison. I didn’t really… lie. Su Lan brainwashed herself to try to believe it was the truth too. The highest level of lying is to make oneself believe it was the truth! A lie told with half truth and half fake is most believable.

“And we need answers that align.” I paused. “…Align?” “Yes.” I exhaled slowly, the realization settling in. “You mean we need a story.” “Correct.” I let out a humorless laugh. “So we’re officially building a fake relationship now.” "It's more like building a narrative.” Quin corrected. “Call it whatever you want, it’s still a lie.” “It’s a controlled version of events.” I rolled my eyes. “You really have a way of making everything sound less insane than it actually is.”

That must have been the reason the security system hadn’t detected t when he entered the house. Mr. Zen slipped the device into a drawer and sent the probot away. Then he walked towards the couch and sat beside Sarah who was looking at him with a billion questions in her eyes. He took a deep breath and ranted everything that had happened.

Then she asked, “If Mr. Roy’s identity wasn’t revealed before me, would you still have told me about the meeting?”
