Of course, Oscar still had a grudge against Nei, the man who Conce stolen his girlfriend. But now that things had moved on, especially after he learned about what Ronnie had dor he only showed a hint of caution

Neil pulled out his wallet, took out a black, gold trimmed card and handed it to me. It was

“Sir Number 17, seeing Neil taking out the card, first showed a look of surprise and envy, then tr by giving your card to this lady I’ll call the police”
Neil glanced at her, his eyes cold
I stood up didnt take his card, but pointed at number 17: “Neil, I don’t need your card. I just

Hearing Neil’s name, number 17 froze for a moment before realizing who he was. She was shocked.
“Ma am even Mr Whitmore doesn’t have the right to fire me, right? Since you now Mr. Whitmore, cant we just let this go? I take you to do the spa now
Number 17 was a resilient character
Neil looking at my domineering attitude, showed a hint of helplessness in his eyes, but he still made a call, “Manager Sammy, come and take number 17 to settle her wages”
Te Whitmore you “Number 17 was dumbfounded, stuttering
Welness Oasis was a hard place to get into, even as a waitress. Many young girls were eager to work here. Not only because of the high wages because it increased the chances of meeting wealthy, handsome men
Soon, Sammy rushed over Without even knowing the full story, he took number 17 away
This kind of short-sighted waitress didn’t suit working here if she couldn’t recognize me and Neil today she wouldn’t recognize other VIPs tomorrow.
Shel upset someone sooner or later
I dont dischminate against any job or person, but number 17s contempt annoyed me
“Oscar let’s go
achieved my goal I didn’t actually want to do any spa i got up and called out to Oscar
Oscar nodded got up and followed me out
It wasn’t until we were some distance away from the door that I looked back. Neil was still standing there, watching us leave.
Oscar noticed i He said to me. Trene, is still hung up on you after the divorce?”
“What makes you si

tement he issued. He was defending you if he really only liked Bonnie and had no feelings for you, he wouldn’t have spoken up for you.” Oscar said senously
His words was quit
I didnt directly answer his question, just smiled After we walked to where my car was parked, Loffered to drop him home.
Oscar shook his head. “It’s okay, Irene i can catch a bus straight to where I live from here You go ahead, drive safe”
“Alright next time I’ll treat you to dinner I responded It seemed unfair that Oscar always treated me
“Spunds good”” Oscar agreed cheerfully
The bus arrived just then. After watching Oscar get on, I drove home
When I got home, an unexpected visitor surprised me
Trene!” Cathie was sitting in my living room eating fruit Seeing me, she got up and greeted me with a big smile.
My parents were still awake, chatting with her Seeing me, they invited me to join them.
Trene, I came to Rosemont to visit a friend, but she’s out of town until tomorrow morning My dad was worried about me and insisted I stay at your place for the night, Cathie explained
“Your dad is right, it’s safer for you to stay here,” my dad agreed
I barely knew Cathie We had only met twice at the banquet, and I had overheard her badmouthing me in the restroom
So I didn’t show any enthusiasm, just smiled faintly. Sure, you can stay here. I’m a bit tired, I’m going to take a shower and rest”
Cathie immediately got up to follow me. Trene, Id like to take a bath too. Does the quest room have a bathroom?”
I glanced back at her, nodded, but didn’t respond
I led Cathie to a guest room, gave her toiletries, then prepared to go to my own room, but she stopped me
Trene, can I ask you a few questions?”
I stopped in my tracks, turning to look at Cathie A flicker of hesitation crossed her face, but it quickly turned into a fearless expression. It’s about Neil she said 1 know you won’t like me saying this, but now that you and him are divorced, I can pursue him openly!”
Was she really being frank with me to my face right now? I suddenly found myself admining Cathies character. She didn’t just talk behind my back but was willing to be upfront with me, I couldn’t help but compare her to Bonnie, and it seemed like she was a bit more aboveboard
Bonnie had also confessed to me face-to-face before, but she always liked to find some hypocritical reasons to explain herself, which really got on my
nerves.
