Tanya was slightly disappointed. “Is that so? But… he said that he’s always busy. However, he would always reply to my messages in around ten minutes no matter how late I messaged him. If he doesn’t care for me, certainly he wouldn’t be replying to my messages. He’s always like that. Maybe he’s just slow in getting close to people. Don’t demotivate me. I just want to meet him and treat him to a meal since I’m quite curious about him.” Tiffany felt that it would be inappropriate to discourage her since she said so. She considered it for a while and said, “Then try and ask him out directly. See if he’s willing to meet up with you. Don’t beat around the bush.” Tanya then summoned up her courage and sent him a message. Hush did not seem enthusiastic in his reply. It was just as she said; his reply always came in around ten minutes. He did not reply to her message within seconds. It appeared like he just replied to her message whenever he was free. After around nine minutes, Hush replied
When she thought about Jackson, she denied it subconsciously. “No, I don’t! I’ll go and eat with you. But let me be frank with you, the bill’s on you. I’m just an ordinary employee working her ass off; I’m quite poor. The monthly rent is quite expensive too…” Alejandro smiled. “Get into the car.” Tanya did not know Alejandro, making her appear anxious and reserved. Tiffany asked her to take the back seat, where Alejandro sat, so she became very uneasy. On the other hand, Tiffany sat on the passenger seat beside the driver. The driver was Jett. She had met him a few times now, so she greeted him casually. “Hi! We meet again.” Jett smiled politely at her before turning his attention back on the road. He drove the car away.Alejandro was not a talkative person, and the same thing could now be said about the others too. Hence, it was rather quiet in the car. At last, Tiffany raised a doubt. “Where are we heading for our meal? Let me be frank with you—I like to repay people’s kindness.
Tanya looked down shyly. “My grandpa used to love gardening. I learned some of the tips while doing gardening with him in the past.” Alejandro did not care who was taking care of the flower. He thought for a while and said, “When the flower blossoms, I’ll tell you a secret.” Tiffany made a joke. “Does that mean that I don’t get to know what that secret is if the flower dies?” Alejandro made no reply. He took the glass of water, which was handed to him by Jett, and took a small sip. During their meal, Tiffany looked up subconsciously and threw a few glances at the door of the cafe from time to time. She was certainly afraid that Jackson might appear there all of a sudden. Unknowingly, she was still worried that she might be misunderstood by Jackson even though she had broken up with him. She was worried that he might misunderstand the relationship between her and Alejandro, thinking that there might be something fishy between them...It was her weak point. She always saw the world i
Alejandro and Jett had not left for long when Tiffany and Tanya decided to leave too. Besides, Alejandro had paid the bills so they enjoyed the meal tremendously. They became quite full when they got up to leave. They looked at each other and smiled at the same time. Tanya held her waist and whispered, “The food here is indeed delicious. No matter how many ingredients Mrs. West sent us, we still couldn’t cook such delicious food… I’m so full now. It’s quite humiliating. By the way, do you not regret breaking up with Jackson at all? He’s good at cooking.” Tiffany said impatiently, “I want a man, not a chef. How could I bear being cheated on by him, seeing him kissing another woman? If that’s the case, I’m more than willing to give the delicious food up! Have a little self-esteem! Come! Let’s go home and have a rest!” Suddenly, Tanya frowned. “No, I need to head to the washroom for a while. I can’t hold it in anymore. I’ll leave my bag and phone with you. Please guard them for me and
Her facial expression worsened. “You… How could you… That’s not my phone!” Only now did Jackson realize that it was indeed not her phone, though it was the same color...Tanya exited the washroom and returned to the seat. She was puzzled as she looked at them. “Jackson… why are you here?” Tiffany stared at Jackson. She then returned Tanya her phone. “Here’s your phone. White Moonlight sent you a message just now… It… has nothing to do with me!” Jackson raised his eyebrows slightly. He decided to run away from the scene. “I came here to take something. I’ll leave now. Take your time!” Tanya looked at the message that Hush sent her and the reply. Her facial expression slightly worsened. Tiffany was so nervous that she was now soaked with cold sweat. Tanya usually had a good temper. She rarely got angry. But that was also why it would be quite frightening if she was infuriated. “This… Jackson thought that it was my phone, so… I’m so sorry. I’ll help explain it to Hush!”Tanya looked
Tiffany obviously kept those thoughts to herself. “I’m not curious. Instead, I’m asking for my own sake. Isn’t it quite frustrating to have an unsettled issue? After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn’t understand why you approached me in the first place. It’s quite peculiar. I’m also aware that rich people only spend time with people who are as rich and influential as them. It’s because they hold the same status, and they could benefit from that kind of relationship. We do not belong to the same world. I was rich once, so I understand the logic behind it. As we know, everything happens for a reason…” Alejandro was quiet for a short while at the other end of the phone. “When the flower blossoms, I’ll tell you about it.” She inwardly exclaimed, ‘It’s the flower again! Who knows whether it’ll blossom or not? What if it’s only some kind of grass? Is he trying to fool me?’She started to grit her teeth. “You said that you’ll tell me a secret when the flower blossoms. Now,
Tiffany saw another person at home after her bath; it was the last person she ever wanted to see!Jackson was wearing an apron and concentrating on his cooking. He did not even turn around to look at her. “Mark called and told me that Arianne has a bad appetite. He asked me to cook something and send it to the hospital. We’ve got no choice. She’s pregnant. Besides, I don’t have any ingredients at home, and it’s too late for me to go and buy them. I do know that my mom has sent you quite a lot of ingredients. Moreover, your apartment is much closer to the hospital compared to my place. So I took the initiative and came here directly to cook for Arianne. In short, I’m doing this for your best friend. Do you have a problem with it?” Tiffany was tongue-tied after listening to what he said. His reason was quite valid, and she had no way to retort to him. She could not and would not stand in his way. She then took a deep breath, pretending he was not there. She opened the small refrigerato
After recomposing her thoughts, she changed her clothes and stepped out of her bedroom. Tanya had holed herself up in her own room, probably to avoid the commotion. She only ever showed her face when she stepped out to open the door for Jackson. Tiffany felt very awkward. She didn’t want to be left alone with Jackson!She secretly sent Tanya a message: ‘Get out here! What are you doing in the room? You know very well that my relationship with Jackson is at an awkward stage!’Tanya swiftly replied: ‘I am not coming out! I’ve heard what you were doing in the kitchen. It’d be awkward for me if I go out! I’m not going to be the third wheel! Pretend that I’m asleep. I can’t help you!’Tiffany was dejected. What a wonderful “friend” she was!Suddenly, Jackson’s voice called out from the kitchen, “Tiffany Lane, help me out here. Mark is rushing me.”She would endure this, for Arianne!She put on a poker face and walked in, refusing to look him in the eye. “What do you need?”Jackson pointed a
