Chapter: 42
Rena's colleagues all looked at her sympathetically, which only made Rena feel even more embarrassed.
She said to Cecilia in a low voice, "I'm sorry. It's not like that at all. I just happened to have a prior commitment on your birthday. Why not ask someone else to perform at your party?”
Cecilia bit her Lip stubbornly. She refused to give up on Rena.
So she went to a nearby cafe and waited for Rena's Lunch break. Sure enough, when Rena was Leaving to grab some lunch, Cecilia rushed out to stop Rena.
“Rena, let's have coffee!" Cecilia said enthusiastically.
Rena was usually good-tempered, but she really couldn't agree to perform at Cecilia's birthday party. Thus, she politely declined and went straight to a small restaurant for Lunch.
In her designer clothes and high-heels, Cecilia followed Rena into the restaurant.
“If you can't attend my birthday party, then can you give me some advice on a wedding dress? Tyrone said you had a good taste.
Harold's arriving soon to have Lunch with me. Rena, maybe you can give us some advice!"
ALL the color drained from Rena's face.
She was betrayed by Harold, her father was going to jail, and Harold was forcing her to become his mistress.
But Cecilia-this naive fool- knew nothing!
Rena took a deep breath and forced herself to stay calm.
She said to Cecilia, "Please don't come to me anymore. I'm not married, and I don't know anything about weddings. Besides, we're not really friends."
Cecilia, however, was always spoiled growing up and had never been refused.
So she kept pestering Rena, hell-bent on figuring out why the pretty lady didn't Like her.
Rena ignored her and walked into an alleyway, but Cecilia stilt followed her.
Rena rubbed her aching temples, realizing that Cecilia wouldn't leave her alone. With clenched fists, she turned around, fully intending to drive Cecilia away, but the next second, her eyes went as wide as saucers.
A man crept up behind Cecilia and knocked her out from behind.
“It's her! I'm sure this is Harold's fiancee! Now we can ransom her off! Harold will definitely give us the money if we hold his fiancee hostage!"
“Wait, there's another woman here. Get her! Don't let her get away!
Maybe she's also valuable."
