Gazing at Annie’s tear-stained face, Angela heaved a sigh as she figured that it had been a rough day for Annie. “Nothing. You’ll get over it soon.”
Following that, Annie rested her head on Angela’s shoulder wearily. “Angela, do you know? I heard that his uncle is the vice president of the country; even his mother is from a powerful family. I bet a lot of wonderful women will like him.”
Angela’s brows slightly furrowed. Is Richard from such a powerful family? Is the vice president his uncle? But I remember that the vice president is still young! There’s only about two years difference in their age, though.
“Angela, I’m starving. I haven’t eaten anything until now.” Annie suddenly thought of her rumbling stomach.
“What? He didn’t even buy you a meal?” Rage suddenly rushed in Angela’s veins.
A surprised Annie looked at her with baffled eyes.
“How dare he!” It was almost 1.00PM at the moment.
“No, it’s not like that. I left the restaurant without eating anything. Don’t blame him.” Annie attempted to put in good words for Richard as Angela seemed like she was going to punch someone right then.
Angela inhaled deeply to regain her composure before taking hold of Annie’s hand. “Let’s go. Just grab anything you want. All on me.”
“Let’s go for a feast! I wanna have the most expensive seafood buffet.” Annie decided to efface her sadness with a feast.
Annie knew her place very well. After some thought, she realized that it was not a big deal as Richard was not the man she could get along with anyway.
During the meal, she was in the mode of binge-eating her sadness away whereas Angela had not much of an appetite. All these years, Angela had been playing her role as the elder sister to look after Annie since they were young.
“Angela, what are you staring at? Dig in!” asked Annie as she raised her head. “I don’t feel like eating right now. You can
enjoy them yourself,” soothed Angela.
“I’ve been on a diet for the past three months because I’m afraid that Richard will not like it if I’m chubby, but none of that matters now! I can quit my diet and eat whatever I want.
You don’t know how difficult it’s been for me.” Annie chewed on her food adorably as she found the reason for her happiness despite the bad day.
Angela broke into a smile. “Well, have as much as you want then.”
At that moment, her phone rang upon receiving a message after which she fished it out to take a look at it.
I’ve called off the engagement.
She could tell who the sender was right away and she replied, ‘I know. I’m with Annie right now.
“I’ll give you another week. Please be my girlfriend. The domineering aura seeped into his words.
Staring at his text, she eventually zoned out as her mind was in a mess. She could never be his girlfriend as soon as Annie’s engagement was called off. Not to mention the fact that she did not have the guts to be with him!
In the end, she chose to ignore his message and set down her phone while Annie asked curiously, “Angela, I heard that you broke up with Dexter. Is that true?”
“Hmm, it’s been a while.”
“Angela, honestly, I think that he’s not the guy for you. Look at how he behaves in front of you. What is it called again? Oh, like a simp! I hate him so much.” Annie was vexed. “By the way, I haven’t told you about something. When I went abroad to visit you, he wrapped his arm around my shoulder on purpose at a restaurant!”
“Really? Did he do anything to you?” The ire was sizzling in Angela’s eyes, for she merely gave Dexter a call to end things with him. She should have given him a few slaps in the face!
