“You don’t need to transfer the money to me. You helped me and you threw away your phone because of me. If you transfer money to me, you don’t see me as a friend.”
Wendy still needed to use Laura, how could she accept Laura’s money?
“Laura, you deserve it.”
Klara said so. Laura then took the phone. The three had their plain and did not treat each other with hearts.
When Laura was back to the company, Brian had left and she did not learn too much information from her colleagues.
She took out her new phone and got her card into it.
Winne saw that.
“Is it a new one?”
She asked.
“Yes, I just got it.”
Laura was embarrassed.
“It must be expensive.”
Winnie did not think too much and gave a smile, for fear that Laura would have a burden.
“Not expensive, my friend helped me buy it.”
Laura explained.
“Be careful and don’t get it lost again.”
Winnie said patting Laura’s shoulder and then left.
Laura got cold sweat because of Winnie’s words. She thought Winnie looked down on her that she could not afford such an expensive phone and laughed at her.
At the same time, she had more dissatisfaction about Winnie, because Winnie looked down upon her and laughed at her.
After work, Winnie got home and told the thing to Vanessa and aunt. After appeasing them, she got to Daenerys’ house.
All the people she had invited were at Daenerys’ house.
Winnie saw these people and said sorry to them.
“I'm sorry, everyone, for getting you involved.”
Winnie was about to bow to show her sincerest apology. But then Emily rushed to her and stopped her.
“Winwin, what are you doing? We did not blame you.”
Emily's generosity made Winnie touched, but she still wanted to explain.
“Emily, I am really sorry, please do not misunderstand. The picture of me and Leo is fake, we did not hug like that. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.”
“Don't say sorry again. Will I come and see you if I misunderstand you? I know you have nothing to do with Leo, and I know the picture is fake.”
“Winwin, don't blame yourself, or we will feel uncomfortable. We're friends, and at this time wi are worried about you.”
Emily embraced Winnie and comforted her in a warm voice.
“Winwin, you must be strong and don’t let the wicked succeed.”
“I will. Thank you for your understanding.”
Feeling Emily's arms, Winnie felt warm in heart. The anxious and angry mood got eased at this moment.
Emily was a good girl and worthy of being treated well by Leo.
Winnie left Emily's arms and came to Oscar. Before she could speak, Oscar said jokingly.
“Don't apologize to me, my hug with you is real, we are not afraid of being judged or seen. And since we're divorced, it won't hurt me if people dig up our history.”
Oscar's relaxed joke was to make Winnie feel relieved. He could feel Winnie’s mood today and knew it was hard day for her.
It was not easy for a single woman. Winnie was strong and would not be knocked down.
But she was pathetic.
Winnie gave a smile and she knew the person knew her best was always Oscar.
“Ok, thank you for your understanding, my ex-husband.”
“Sit down, you are tired today.”
Daenerys let Winnie sit down next to her, looking at Winnie with distressed eyes.
Leo felt distressed too. He said nothing, but his attention was on Winnie since she came in house.
He knew she was pretending to be fine. Even a man could not bear the pressure of public opinion, let alone a woman.
However, with Emily around, Leo could only hide his heart. And Emily was generous, what else could he say?
“By the way, you don't know each other, I didn't introduce you yet.”
Winnie heaved a sigh of relief and turned the sad topic away.
“Yes, they know each other. I have introduced them.”
Said Daenerys.
“Well then, I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Let's go out. What would you like to eat?”
Winnie continued, always looking for a topic to cover up the previous one.
