“I just came back from traveling overseas! I just want to ask you out for a gathering or something.” “Which country did you go to?”
“Dansbury.” “Then you must’ve had a great time! I’m not in town right now, so let’s meet up next time!”
“Alright then, we’ll meet up next time.” Selena hung up the phone. After looking out the window guiltily, she called another friend. “Melissa, what are you doing right now?”
“I’m with my boyfriend. What about you?” “You have a boyfriend? How come I didn’t know that?”
“I just started going out with him a few days ago. We’re still in the first flush of our relationship and are now traveling in Estrea. What have you been up to these days?”
“I-I’m at home. I just came back from abroad, too.”
“Oh! I saw a handbag you liked that wasn’t available in the country last time. Do you want me to buy it for you? It’s about 3,000 bucks cheaper over here. If you want it, I can bring it to you when I come back.”
Selena hurriedly replied, ‘No, you don’t have to. I don’t like the bag anymore. I’ll see.”
“Would you like me to take pictures for you at the special counter, then? If there’s a bag that catches your fancy, I can bring it back to you.”
“I don’t feel like buying handbags lately. Anyways, have fun with your boyfriend,” Selena said. After hanging up the phone, she let out a sigh. At this very moment, she really feared that these friends would find out about her current situation, perhaps they would come together. and laugh at her. She used to be considered wealthier among them, but now she had nothing left to her name, whereas they were living a comfortable life.
Selena couldn’t help but close her eyes. She decided to call Charlie, the big fatso who was over 220 pounds and the rich dandy whom she looked down upon from the bottom of her heart.
At this very moment, the thought that she would have to go back to her father’s rented apartment made her feel uncomfortable all over. She would rather suck up to Charlie and stay overnight at his house than go home.
She then called Charlie, who quickly answered the phone call and expressed his surprise at this. “You remembered me at last, Lena. What’s the matter? How are you doing these days?” Selena voluntarily played up to him, saying, Tm
doing fine, Mr. Dune. It’s just that I’m kind of bored lately. I wonder if you’ve got a party or something that I can join.” ‘There’s one! There’s a private electronic music festival tonight. You wanna come over? I’ll cover your expenses.”
“Really? That’d be great! I happen to be free at the moment.” “Alright then, I’ll pick you up later.”
“Uh-huh! See you later.” Selena bit her lip after hanging up the phone. She had played around abroad long ago and was no longer a virgin. Now, she wanted to capitalize on her beauty to turn things around.
Jared rushed back to his villa in the evening. As soon as he pulled up his car, he saw a slim figure squatting on the lawn nearby, who was holding a cat teaser in her hand and playing with a kitten with the last rays of the setting sun behind them. Such a scene made one yearn for a peaceful life.
For a while, Jared couldn’t tear his eyes away. The wind lifted the lady’s thick and smooth hair, revealing a small part of her fair face. The lovely and innocent smile on her lips was so wonderfully therapeutic that anyone would long for it. Jared walked up to her.
Ellen noticed from the corner of her eye that someone was coming over. When she looked back and saw who the person was, she immediately tossed the cat teaser away and happily came up to him.
Her eyes flickered bashfully as they came closer and closer to each other. The next second, the man wrapped his arms around her and pressed her to his chest before pressing his thin lips against her hair.
There was no one around them, but Ellen’s face reddened visibly. ‘Let’s cook dinner together tonight. I bought some ingredients,” Jared said to her.
Ellen quickly replied with a nod, “Okay! Let’s cook together then.” “Meow!” The ignored kitten ran over and crawled up Jared’s trouser leg. Obviously, it was asking for a hug.
Jared bent down and picked up the kitten with a smile while caressing its chubby face. It’s really as cute as its female owner.
