Kneeling for a Second Chance (Sebastian and Valeria) novel Chapter 150

"Hey, Sebastian? Is that you?" a woman's voice called out, her tone carrying a hint of surprise.

Sebastian looked up at the woman walking toward him. He didn't know her, but vaguely remembered that she was a high school classmate from Class B who had attended the previous gathering at Mark's bar.

But he couldn't quite recall her name until the woman introduced herself. "I'm Sarah Chambers. Do you remember me? I was in Class B back in high school."

Sebastian barely responded, giving only a slight nod as a greeting.

Meanwhile, Valeria suddenly clenched her cutlery tightly.

She looked at Sarah and was about to lower her gaze when Sarah glanced back at her, her eyes narrowing slightly with curiosity, as if trying to figure out who Valeria was.

"Sebastian, is this your girl…"

"Hey, Sarah!" Valeria called out hurriedly.

Maybe it was the urgency in her tone, because Sebastian glanced her way. Valeria quickly steadied herself as she gave Sarah a smile. Pretending to be friendly, she asked, "Are you here alone?"

"Oh, I'm meeting a friend. I got here early," Sarah responded. She didn't know who Valeria was, but felt like her tone was familiar, like they knew each other. Just as she was about to ask who Valeria was, Sebastian's phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID, stood up, and stepped out to take the call.

Valeria watched Sebastian's back.

She kept watching him walk down the stairs, and only then did she realize she was sweating all over her back.

"Hey, miss…" Sarah looked at Valeria. "You look familiar. Have we met before?"

"I…" Valeria began to speak, but hesitated before she added, "We were high school classmates. I went to Nueve High School too."

Sarah smiled. "What a small world! I'm sorry I didn't recognize you. Which class were you in back then?

Valeria was at a loss for words. After all, one lie leads to another.

She couldn't say she was from Class B, nor could she say Class C. She found herself caught between truth and lies, trying to find a way out but getting caught up even more.

Sarah was a friendly person. She asked to exchange contacts with Valeria, grinning as she asked, "What's your relationship with Sebastian? Are you two dating?"

"No," Valeria denied.

"I see." Sarah nodded. "You're really pretty, and you two look great together. When I first saw you, I thought you were his girlfriend."
