"What did you say? Eliana, don’t think I won’t slap you" Nicole was all fired up, seemingly bothered by calling her Ariel’s lapdog.
My friends, hearing Nicole’s outburst, gathered around
"You think we wouldn’t slap you too?" Sofia rolled up her sleeves
Nick looked helpless. As a guy, he shouldn’t get involved in a catfight, but Nicole was his girlfriend, and we were all acquainted with him.
He pulled Nicole behind him, "Enough, enough We’re all friends here Can we stop this hostility?"
"Nick, are you blind? Why would you pick her as your girlfriend? She has no conscience, do you have one?" Luna bluntly asked.
Nick’s face changed slightly. He awkwardly chuckled, not responding.
Nicole was at her breaking point. She was the one who persistently went after Nick, and now Luna was saying she didn’t deserve him?
"Say that again? Nicole pointed at Luna, her eyes blazing.
Tension was in the air. So staff had co over to try to defuse the situation.
"Nicole, what’s wrong?" Suddenly Ariel’s voice chid in. Her eyes were red and swollen as if she’d just been crying. She looked at us, puzzled.
Karen was in the sa state. They probably just got back from the cetery.
I had to admire Ariel. She really considered herself Catherine.
"Ariel, Karen, are you okay?" Nicole imdiately asked with concern as soon as she saw them.
Karen shook her head. "We’re fine, just a little upset. What’s going on between you and them "
She glanced at , her distaste for apparent in her eyes.
Nicole imdiately felt bolstered, "Nick and I ca here to wait for you guys, but we ran into Eliana. They have no manners, even openly insulted , calling a bitch!"
At that mont, a woman nearby spoke up, "It was you who started it all with your ranting, disturbing them. Isn’t that why they said those things about you?"
I turned to look at the woman. She had short hair with purple highlights, silver earrings, and a nose ring, giving her a rebellious look.
Seeing look at her, she gave a smile
I inexplicably liked her appearance, so I returned her smile with a grateful one.
Nicole was at a loss for words after being exposed by the short–haired woman
"Nicole, it’s fine. Let’s just drop it" Ariel wiped her eyes and put on a magnanimous face.
Karen checked the ti and urged. "Ariel, let’s go. My mom and Damon are waiting for us"
She emphasized Damon’s na as if afraid I wouldn’t hear it clearly
Ariel nodded and took Nicole’s hand, "Nicole, why don’t you and Nick co with us? We can all have dinner together."
"Sure!" Nicole cheered up imdiately, "After all, Nick and Damon are good friends. It’s just like a friends’ get–together!"
Nick gave an apologetic look, seemingly helpless
After Ariel and her group left, Luna couldn’t hold back, "What the hell is Damon up to? Is he getting back together with Ariel?"
I shrugged, replying nonchalantly. "Who knows?"
Despite his apparent dislike for Ariel, he could still go with her to pay respects to Catherine and then have a casual dinner with her. I suddenly rembered the scene a few days ago when Damon asked for one more chance. It was ridiculous.
If I had agreed to him, wouldn’t I be the joke of the century now?
"Coleman Co. and Horizon Enterprises used to collaborate, and they even almost worked on a project together, but due to so issues, it fell through. Damon and Andrew should know each other, so inviting his wife and daughter for a al seems normal?" Clara said.
I wasn’t very clear about these things. I used to only care about my love life, so I didn’t know much about either my company or Coleman Co
But I was inexplicably upset now. Thinking about what happened between Damon and a few days ago, I felt played.
"I’m going ho" I told Luna and the others
"Give a lift" Luna imdiately caught up with Lily in her arms, "Mitch is busy today He can’t pick up"
So, I drove Luna ho. Clara and Sofia each took their cars. After the four of us parted ways, I headed for Luna’s house.
I was pretty quiet on the way. Luna broke the silence. "Eliana, you seed upset after hearing that Damon was waiting for Ariel, didn’t you?"
Among my three friends, Luna knew the best and was the most direct with .
"Not at all. I’m just a bit tired and want to go to sleep". I denied.
"Don’t lie to ," Luna didn’t buy it, "I can tell sothing’s off by the look on your face. You’re not telling , right?"
Just as she finished speaking, my phone rang. It was a call from Damon.
Without a second thought, I hung up.
After hanging up four or five calls in a row, I turned off my phone. I didn’t want to hear Damon’s crap. If he was going to have dinner with Ariel and her group, why would he still have ti to contact ?
As soon as I turned off my phone, Luna’s phone rang.
Again, it was Damon.
"What do you want?" Luna answered on speakerphone
"Is Eliana with you?" Damon asked.
"Do you have a split personality? Waiting for Ariel on one hand and contacting Eliana on the other?" Luna cursed, "Bastard! Leave Eliana alone! Since things between you and Ariel are unclear, stop bothering her"
Damon paused for a mont, then asked, sowhat speechless, "I’m waiting for Ariel to have dinner together. Who said that?"
"Cut the act. Weren’t you just worshiping at the altar of Catherine today? Damon, you told Mitch you regretted it and wanted to make it up to Eliana. All lies, huh?" Luna’s anger grew with every word she said. Finally, she just started cursing. "You jerk! Stay the hell away from her".
I listened to their conversation without uttering a word
Before Damon could explain, Luna had already hung up. She turned to and said, "Eliana, don’t you listen to Damons crap. He’s not trying to make things right with you, he’s just playing your*
"Don’t worry, I’m not that naive," I laughed, "My mom wants to start working at her company in a few days. I’ll be a working woman then, won’t have much ti to think about all this."
"Good," Luna breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, her eyes caught sothing in the distance, "Isn’t that Jones standing in front of my house?"
I took a closer look, and it was indeed him. Jones was chatting with Mitch about sothing. He looked noticeably more run–down than he was a few days ago
