Valerie's POV
Seeing Karl actually lifted my spirits a bit.
I haven't seen him in a while and it felt as if he had changed.
He looked more mature and poised. Unlike before when he still had that boyish look, now dressed in a suit, he looked more manly.
However, I couldn't bring myself to see him differently knowing that he was never genuine about our friendship.
But that wouldn't stop me from at least finding comfort in his company.
As long as I know not to cross the line, everything would be good.
"No need to thank me for something so trivial." Karl said with his usual gentle smile.
The chocolate reminded me of the past when I would go for two days or more without food while working like an ox.
It was only when Karl brought me some packets of chocolate that I would get something to eat and at least give me energy.
Now that I was full of grievances and humiliation, eating chocolate brightened my mood.
