Chloe saw my stunned expression and a
glimmer of triumph flashed in her eyes.
Then, she leaned against her boyfriend,
feigning nonchalance:
“Sally, eat.”
“Pete already served you, I don’t mind.”
She said she didn’t mind, but her eyes were
glued to my chopsticks, afraid I’d actually eat. The comments were furious, scrolling wildly in
front of me.
“Fake it till you make it, your eyes are about
to fall out. If the second female lead eats it, I bet you won’t be smiling anymore.”
“Second female lead, let’s be brave, stop
being a free pawn, okay?”
“Eat, eat heartily, eat until you’re stuffed, eat
in front of the male lead, second female lead,
make the spoiled wife furious!”
Looking at Chloe’s playful and innocent face,
and recalling how she had my scholarship
revoked and treated me like a dog, I gripped
my chopsticks.
She loves testing Pete’s feelings for her,
doesn’t she?
She loves testing if I have feelings for her
boyfriend, doesn’t she?
I’ll give her a hand.
I snapped back to reality and ate the dish that
Pete had served me, right in front of her.
Then, I covered my mouth, pretending to be
surprised:
“Honey, how did your boyfriend know I love
bamboo shoots?
“You must have told him, you’re so good to
me, Chloe.”
Then, I smiled at Pete next to her.
く
“Since that’s the case, I won’t be polite,
thank you, Pete.”
