Chapter 24
At four in the afternoon, I was awakened by the ringing of my cell phone.
I picked up the phone and said, “Hello.”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Is this Chris?” A slightly familiar female voice rang out. I did not think about who it was for a while, but I felt like the voice was very familiar.
“It’s me, and you are?”
“I am Kitty. Do you have time to meet? I need to see you.”
I have not liked Kitty at all since I saw her true colors in the recent events at the mall.
That kind of two-faced person is the worst, and there’s no way I want to get involved with Kitty.
“Just tell me everything over the phone.”
“I can not tell you over the phone. It’s better to say something in person. I’ll be waiting for you at the Island Restaurant at six in the afternoon.” Kitty hangs up.
I feel a little angry. Why was I meeting with this woman?
I was not planning on going, but at five-thirty I went back on my word. What if Kitty really did have something important? Forget it, for the sake of Warren, the gold owner, I’d better go, because she was Warren’s favorite.
The Island Restaurant is a very exclusive, private, bespoke restaurant.
Unless you have an appointment, you can not even get a seat at normal hours, Kitty really knows how to enjoy life.
I found Kitty wearing the same dress I had tried on earlier. She said it did not suit me, but she later bought it herself.
She’s shorter than me, but her swing is very strong. “Sit down.”
I sat down and said, “Miss Kitty, just say anything.”
Kitty took off her exaggerated sunglasses and looked at me with a disdainful look. “Miss Chris, if I remember correctly, the main agreement you signed with Warren is that you are not to take the initiative to have physical contact with Warren unless it is necessary.”
“That is correct.” I was not to have any contact with Warren except for the night he asked me to take him downstairs and that woman called me here for that?
“Then please remember well, miss. Do not try to get your hands on other people’s things.” Kitty’s voice was very cold.
I frowned at her. “Miss Kitty, please tell me what you want to say.”
“Well, I’ll just say it straight out. You are just an actor hired by Warren, and you have no name and no reality. If you want to play a game and get something that does not belong to you, do not accuse me of doing anything!”
I kind of got it. It seems Kitty misunderstood that I was falling for Warren.
I explained patiently, “Miss Kitty, I knew about your relationship with Mr. Warren from the beginning, and I knew I did not need to be reminded of my identity. I have thought or done nothing from first to last to separate you. You need not fight me.”
But Kitty is even angrier. “Chris, it seems you still do not realize your own position, and are seducing Warren while I am away!”
“What seduction? I did not do it!” I heard those harsh words and immediately retorted.
“If you were not a slut seducing him, how could Warren’s body smell like a woman’s perfume? ”
I thought she was being unreasonable. “Miss Kitty, first of all, I never wear perfume as a matter of policy. Secondly, Warren smells like perfume. Please ask him and do not bother me. Third, if your parents did not teach you how to respect people, I hope you can learn too. Do not bite people like a rabid dog.”
“Bitch, do not you dare call me names!” Kitty was furious and spilled coffee on me.
She moved so fast she did not give me a chance to even react.
“This time it’s just a lesson for you. If there’s a next time, it will not be so easy!”
When Kitty yelled out, I was speechless and wiped the coffee stains on my body with paper.
Why did I come here to suffer! For fuck’s sake.
I did not even ask Kitty what she said to the waiter at the mall earlier, but that woman actually did that to me today.
Pretending to be nice in front of Warren is really ridiculous.
When I was in a mess and was about to leave, the waiter stopped me. “Miss, please pay the bill.”
I still have wet coffee stains on my head, and my white skirt is soaked. I just want to go home and wash up quickly, but Kitty ordered something and ran off to ask me to pay.
“I did not order anything. You’ll have to ask the lady to pay.” I have a total of $8, 000 on my card, and I need to save up to pay the rent, so I do not want to be the sucker.
“You must be friends with this lady. She spent a total of two thousand three dollars. When she leaves, please pay the bill.”
“Who’s her friend? We have only met twice.” I am already full of fire and have no place to vent.
“Miss, if you do not pay the bill, we will have to call the police!” The waiter threatens.
I have a really big headache, it never rains but it pours. I have encountered all kinds of bad luck.
Just as I was about to withdraw my savings, Warren’s voice came, “I’ll pay her bill.”
Is not that the man who threw me a cup of coffee to no avail? I am furious to see Warren now.
“No, Mr. Warren.” I took the card right out and said, “Take it and brush it.”
“Miss, you come with me to the register.”
I watched in pain as the two thousand three dollars flew away, and my heart bled. I had earned that with side jobs.
“Why are you in such a mess?” Warren followed me and took a step back, startled.
“Mr. Warren, I need to move on. Help yourself.” I had just spilled coffee because of Warren, and God knows if that Kitty is crazy and will come back to make trouble. Then I ran off in a hurry.
I rushed out of the store only to find that it had been raining hard. Could I be more unlucky?
