Daniel then went to the hospital canteen and brought some food to Matt's cabin. He pursued him to eat and finally Matt gave in and ate the lunch.

Last night he already skipped his meal, but now he couldn't.

​​

"Matt, today after work, let's go to a bar" Daniel suggested after lunch.

"Bar? With me?" Matt looked surprised.

"Hmm, why not? Let's hang out for some time" Daniel suggested as he could see Matt was not in a good mood and he would feel better if he is with Matt as he didn't like to leave him alone.

Daniel felt Matt needed a friend right now.

"Don't you want to hang out with your amazing girlfriend, instead?" Matt sarcastically questioned him.

"My amazing girlfriend is busy. I'll now spend time with my amazing friend instead."

Matt chuckled hearing Daniel's words.

"Finally, you smiled" Daniel exclaimed happily.

"Hmm, you win. Fine, let's go to the bar after work is over" Matt accepted his invitation as he too wished to distract himself.

After the work was over, Matt mindlessly headed towards the exit when Lisa approached him again, "Matt, are you free now?" She nervously asked him.

Matt wondered why was she bothering him when all he wanted to do was stay away from her.

When he wished to be near her, she was not available but when he was trying to avoid her, she kept coming to him.

Weirdly, she was also looking more beautiful than ever. There was a happy glow on her face, which he never saw before.

Knowing Steve is the reason behind it, Matt felt his heart wrench in pain.

"Why? What happened?" He questioned her instead of answering.

"If you are going home, let's go together" Lisa again smiled at him.

"I am not going home" Matt was about to walk away when Lisa again stopped him.

"Where are you going then?" She looked a bit worried.

'Why is she worrying about me?' Matt wondered.

"I am going to a bar"

"Can I tag along?" Lisa looked enthusiastic.

'Go and hang out with your boyfriend instead' he wished to say but he didn't.

"Why?"

"I have something important to tell you" Lisa again brightly smiled.

'She might share the good news of Steve and her dating but I am not ready for it now. I won't be able to react happily, I have to stop her from informing me about it until I get over her.' He thought.

"I am going with Daniel. We decided to hang out. It would be better if you don't tag along as he is the one, who invited me and it won't look good if I bringing you along with me. It is only going to be me and Daniel at the bar. If Rachel too was coming, I would have let you come too." Matt tried to be polite and not refuse her rudely and explained why she can't tag along.

'In spite of you belonging to someone else, I can't stop loving you and neither can I hate you but I have to distance myself from you if I wish for all of us to stay happy' Matthew thought.

"Oh" Lisa looked disappointed.

"I'll take my leave" Matthew left from there and checked a message from Daniel which said it would take him one more hour to get done with his work, so he will directly meet him at the bar.

So, Matt first headed to his home and for a second, he had a thought to ask Lisa to join him as he is going home now but then the whole purpose of moving on would be defeated, so he didn't.

'Steve will drop her' He concluded and left from there.

After reaching his home, he freshened up, wore a white t-shirt, jeans and a black leather jacket and reached the bar they decided to meet at.

Daniel still didn't arrive at the bar, so Matt ordered a drink for himself while waiting for Daniel.

After a few minutes, he sensed some woman sitting next to him at the counter but Matt didn't care as he didn't wish to meet any new woman like he did a day before.

Matt checked the time on his watch as Dan should have arrived by now, but he didn't.

"Waiting for someone?" The woman next to him asked Matt. He generally would have just ignored her as he was not in the mood to talk but the voice, he heard sounded familiar.

In reflex, he lifted his head and saw the sexy woman sitting next to him.

She was dressed in a black short dress, exposing her long, sexy legs. Her neck was exposed with a small part of her cleavage visible as she wore a thin strap dress. Her long, wavy hair reaching her waist was left loose. Her ears were ornamented with silver hoops.

This woman in front of him, looked like a dazzling star.

For a second, he was in awe of her and forgot everything that he had been going through. His sadness, his dejected mood, all went out the window, while he stared at this beautiful woman.

"Lisa? What are you doing here?" He finally asked after looking at the gorgeous woman, as he never saw Lisa dress up like this before.

Unlike her regular simple self, right now she looked bold and beautiful.

"Why? Can't I be here?" She sarcastically asked him.

'Fuck, did she make plans to meet Steve here? Is that why she is dressed like this? Lisa, never wears these kinds of dresses, it must have been for Steve' All these thoughts started coming back into Matthew's mind, turning him sad.

"Hmm, you can be. Seems like you have plans with someone, I'll take my leave" Matt cancelled his order and was about to walk away but Lisa suddenly held his arm, stopping him from leaving.

"I am here to meet you, Matt" She looked scared seeing Matt walk away.

"Me? Why?" Matt too was confused.
