Chapter 11 True Beauty

Cielo had never experienced sleepwalking before.

"You..." she said, a little hesitantly.

Tyler responded in a hushed tone, "I'm hurt."

Cielo had never slept in the same bed with a guy before. It was her first time. His aura was just too terrifying for her, and she could not express her rage.

She climbed out of bed, an anxious grin on her face, as she peeled the duvet over her shoulders. Tyler was there to stop her before she could do anything.

"Why do you have such a light skin tone on your hands, but not on your face?" he asked her as he started grilling her.

Cielo's hand was withdrawn as she realized what she had done. "I was born that way," she said gently in response.

She sprang out of bed and raced to the restroom as soon as she realized what had happened.

Observing her response, Tyler's interest was peaked even more.

.........................................

In the bathroom, to be precise.

A self-deprecating smirk appeared on her face as she looked in the mirror at her sallow complexion.

So she went to the bathroom, got a bottle of makeup remover, and began removing her makeup.

She converted into a fair and attractive lady just a few minutes later.

She would have forgotten what she looked like if it hadn't been for the fact that Cielo had been living in her leased apartment since she graduated.

In light of her daughter's stunning beauty, it was only natural for her mother to be pleased with her child.

On the other hand, Helene had always resented her for taking Clarisse's place in the spotlight when she was a teenager. As a result, she had never purchased nice clothing for herself.

Cielo had put in a great deal of effort at the moment to get Helene's approval.

She had gone from being the top student in her grade and the school queen to being seen as an "ugly kid" who received the last place award...

Helene refused to recognize her even though her attempts indicated that she was not completely happy.

She had never wanted to accept the possibility that Helen might not care about her at all.

Approximately half an hour later, Cielo emerged from the restroom, having disguised herself once again.

Tyler seemed to be thinking about something while leaning against the headboard with his cell phone in his hand. His expressionless made him seem more unapproachable than he was.

"I'm going out," she responded after a moment's contemplation. You may arrange for someone to come and take you up."

Tyler was deafeningly quiet.

Ignoring him, Cielo picked up her luggage and exited the home.

She had resigned from her former position in a hurry because Helene had instructed her to return home.

As a result, if she wanted to support herself, she needed to find another work.

................................

The morning flew by in a flash.

Cielo was at the bus stop, waiting for the next bus.

A dark vehicle pulled stopped before her, and she was startled.

The car window was lowered down, displaying a young guy with a bright smile. "Hey Cielo, where are you going?" "Hey Cielo, where are you going?"

Cielo's eyes glowed with excitement. "David?" she said, her voice tinged with excitement. "What are you doing here?"

"Come on, get in the vehicle." "I can't stop the car for too long." As David Scott spoke, he opened the vehicle door for her.

Cielo got inside the vehicle. The moment she closed the door, she could clearly hear David remark, "I'm going to have lunch with Clarisse." "Come along with us."

Was he in a relationship with Clarisse?

In reality, Cielo should have considered this sooner rather than later.

Indeed, everyone had been claiming that Clarisse and David were a match made in heaven for quite some time.

On the other hand, the two of them had never been together before. That was why Cielo had been disguising her sentiments and maintained being friends with David.

"I still have a lot of stuff to take care of," she said, forcing a grin. " I'm afraid I won't be able to join you..."

"Please don't say no to me. The last time we had dinner together was a long time ago." David's tone was firm, and he didn't allow her to resist at all.

They arrived at the restaurant shortly afterward.

Clarisse's expression darkened quickly as soon as she saw Cielo and David entering the area.

On the other hand, David was utterly unconscious of the shift in her face. " Clarisse, I happened to see Cielo on the way here, so I invited her to come along. "You're not bothered by it, are you?"

"Of course, I don't," Clarisse said, a grin on her face.

"I'm going to use the bathroom. I'll be right back,"   David turned to walk away after saying that.

Soon after he had departed, the smile that had been on Clarisse's face vanished. "Are you attempting to hook up with David now that the cripple was unable to meet your desires?"
