I had a crush on Ethan Rivers for ten years. Even though he had a girlfriend, I couldn't help but secretly think about him and look at him from afar.
At a friend's party, Ethan brought his new girlfriend. I couldn't help but drink too much.
After getting drunk, I couldn't control myself and poured out my heart."I like Ethan Rivers.I've liked him for ten years."

When they learned of my true feelings, everyone burst into laughter."This is a first! Lily Miller has been in love with Ethan Rivers for ten years? Ethan, aren't you ashamed to be secretly loved by a poor person?"
I always mess things up when I drink and often neglect to consider whether the situation around me is appropriate.
But I can never hold back my courage after drinking and end up revealing the most embarrassing secrets in my heart.
I forgot that this time was different from before.
After I revealed my secret, I felt dizzy. I found a comfortable spot and dozed off in a daze.
Vaguely, I seemed to hear everyone burst into laughter, just like in a dream.

"Ethan, Lily has had a crush on you for ten years, hahaha."
"You already have a girlfriend, and she still likes you. Isn't that embarrassing? She's an orphan. What right does she have to have a crush on you, the young master?"
Ethan sneered."IIt's indeed embarrassing. I already have a girlfriend, yet she only has me in her heart and even fantasizes about being a mistress. I despise mistresses the most."
No, it was clearly a dream, but why did everything around me feel so real?

Why did I feel so uncomfortable and embarrassed?
But I just couldn't open my eyes. I felt so uncomfortable, as if my whole body was falling apart.
Time passed slowly. I don't know how long it took, but I finally opened my eyes.
The headache was gone, but I always felt that something was wrong, as if my secret had been discovered. After I sobered up, everyone kept their distance from me and called me a mistress.
I tried to invite some friends out, but they all said,"No, I don't have time. We're very busy."
"Lily, don't come to us in the future. We don't want to hang out with a mistress."
"Lily, you're a mistress Don't you know how repulsive that is?"
When did I become a mistress?
I'm not a mistress. They're all my good classmates and friends. Now we've all joined our family businesses.
In the eyes of others, we're a bunch of wealthy playboys and playgirls.
I'm different from all of them. I don't have parents. My uncle adopted me from an orphanage when I was very young.
Now I work in my uncle's company, and my uncle's company is the smallest in our circle.
Among them, I'm the most humble one.
But I've never been a mistress.
I thought for a long time and then found my best friend, Chloe Davis. She was also at the party last night.
Usually, when I drank, Chloe would stop me from saying things I'd regret.
Last night, Chloe seemed to be drunk because she was trying to close a business deal, so I didn't get in touch with her until the afternoon.
"Chloe, why is everyone calling me a mistress after last night?"
Chloe sighed and sent me a voice message. To my horror, I heard my own confession of love for Ethan, Ethan's scornful words calling me a mistress, and the jeers and laughter of everyone around.
