“They’re a perfect match!” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“She has a handsome boyfriend to pick her up in the rain, that’s truly enviable.”
Amidst the envious gazes and comments from the crowd, Thalia walked under Alfie’s umbrella,
When she linked arms with him, she signaled to her friend, Emma Oliver
Emma looked in Moira’s direction and said,
aid. “Mr. Gu
Guzman, Ms. Jimenez is also here. Wouldn’t it be convenient for you to give her a ride?”
Alfie’s expression changed slightly, and he turned his head, quickly spotting Moira in the crowd.
“Moira.” He called out, restraining his emotions.
In the crowd, Moira, who was suddenly called, hesitated.
She regretted stopping Juliet from confronting Emma earlier.
Before Alfie could speak, Thalia, pretending to be generous, asked Moira, “Ms. Jimenez, would you like a ride?”
“No need. Someone is coming to pick me up,” Moira replied coldly.
After that, Emma, who was irritating, chimed in again. “Why bother pretending, Ms. Jimenez? Didn’t you say Mr. Covington was at a dinner? Can he come and pick you up?”
She emphasized the words “can he,” dripping with sarcasm.
Moira was about to retort when her phone suddenly rang.
She paused, seeing the caller ID, and with a competitive mindset, she answered the phone directly, “Hello, honey?”
Suddenly, the endearing term “honey” seemed to ignite Barclay’s interest. He leisurely undid a button on his shirt. “Where are you?”
Moira had originally planned how to get Barclay to cooperate with her acting, but she didn’t expect him to ask directly. For a moment, she was caught off guard and nervously replied, “Desco,”
“Okay, got it.” After saying that, Barclay hung up.
He didn’t say he was coming to pick her up, just that he knew. But that was enough for her to play along!
Moira hung up the phone, smiled at Alfie and Thalia, and said, “My husband will be here soon, no need to trouble yourselves.”
Alfie’s face turned a little pale when he heard her call.
He looked at Moira, his eyes seemingly full of words.
Since seeing Moira, Alfie hadn’t taken his eyes off her
Thalia could hardly keep a straight face. “That’s good then, we’ll leave first.”
“Okay.” Moira gave a cold hum.
While Moira was also angry, plenty of people were around waiting for the rain to stop.
Thalia’s and her friend’s words might not matter to most, but if Moira and Juliet confronted them, they would only become the subject of
ridicule.
Moira said, “Juliet, let it go.”
Juliet replied, “No, I have to go over and shut her mouth!”
Just as Juliet finished speaking, a black Mercedes stopped in the rain,
People waiting at the mall entrance instinctively looked over, many already envious.
“Wow, who’s so lucky! A Mercedes came to pick them up!”
“Damn, whose boyfriend is that? He’s so handsomel”
“Oh my god, isn’t this like a scene from a movie?”
Through the rain, Alfie walked over with a black umbrella.
Juliet looked at him and said, “A scumbag.”
Moira glanced at him briefly and then looked away. She didn’t want to see Alfie again. Talking to him felt like a waste of time and energy.
Alfie quickly approached Thalia.
Most of the people who had been watching him now looked at Thalia, feeling jealous.
