Grozdan's POV
"I don't want her to hate me", the words were embarrassing but true, so true that the sincerity in my voice shocked him
"You don't want who to hate you?, Carina?"
"WHAT?!, no!!...." I swear for the smartest man I've ever met he can be so dense at times, I swear to God!, Where did he even get that?!, ".....I mean Michiko!"
"Ooooh...." You could see his tension melt away, why on God's green earth would he assume I meant Carina?, She wasn't the one most affected by my lie, she isn't so emotionally attached to be this concerned about dishonestly born from necessity, she understood my reason for it and has carried on just fine when the condition needed, quite honestly at times I think she sees me as a necessary annoyance and not an actual friend, it hurts to be regarded as a tool, but given how we met it is understandable, I am willing to rebuild trust till she believes me again
