In the middle of our celebration, a familiar
face appeared.
I knew he would come, to pick up the tab and
apologize for earlier.
My colleagues were surprised to see Vice
President Pete.
“Mr. Pete, why are you here?”
Pete was composed, explaining: “I was at the
bar next door, and I saw you all, so I came
over to say hello.”
Then he looked at me, then at the cake next
L
to me.
He said: “Someone’s birthday today?
“Have fun everyone, the bill is on me.”
My colleagues didn’t think it was unusual, and
they all cheered, “Mr. Pete is generous.
وو
After Pete left, the comments went wild.
“Funny, the wife still couldn’t help herself,
she had a big fight with Pete.”
“She’s so nerve–wracking, she asked her
boyfriend to serve her best friend, and then
she questioned why he served her best friend,
next time, is she going to feed her best
friend?”
“Didn’t she ask her boyfriend to go find the
second female lead? This stubborn guy
actually came. Please, next time, just have the
male lead marry the second female lead,
okay?”
“Rich boys are always weak towards innocent
girls, he was prejudiced against the second
Г
female lead because of the wife’s antics, now
he just feels sorry for her.”
“Regardless, the male lead will be a huge
help to the second female lead’s career, I
hope the second female lead doesn’t get
carried away and waste this opportunity to
climb the social ladder.”
I hid in the shadows and lifted my eyelids.
