Her three "friends" looked very embarrassed, as Yvonne's reputation haD gone so bad that no one wanted to hang out with her, much less be seen in public with her.
"Are you unwilling to talk to me?" Yvonne challenged the three with a sneer, "I think I treated all of you generously in the past, only to be rejected this like! Give me a reason now!"
"Thanks for your past generosity!" A girl whose name was Debbie rose up to answer Yvonne, "However I would confine myself to my house, if I were you. Now your presence is definitely a comedy."
"What the hell did you just say?" Yvonne stared the girl down, "I dare you to say it again."
"I am telling the truth!" The girl sneered and pressed her challenge, "Yvonne, you are more ill-reputed than ever! It is expected that we stay away from you because we do not want to be seen with you, especially in public."
"Speak ill of me like that some more and I will make you suffer for it!" Yvonne was furious.
"Debbie, there is no point of arguing with her!" The other two girls tried to pull Debbie back to her seat, staring at Yvonne with contempt. "It is a buzzkill to run into her here. Let us go somewhere else and have fun."
"How dare all of you leave impolitely like this? Stop!" No matter how Yvonne screamed, she was powerless to stop them, which made her all the madder.
After the unpleasant encounter, Yvonne drowned her unhappiness in the pub alone.
She had decided to be less visible in public to avoid other people's contempt. However, it was beyond what she could handle when she went out of the house.
"Hi, Miss Gu. It's been a long time!" Yvonne, in a state of stupor, heard a familiar voice teasing from behind her. It was Joe.
Joe came with a young girl wearing a cheap dress, holding Joe's arm tightly and looking at Yvonne with resentment.
The girl shook Joe's arm and asked, "Joe, who is she?"
The girl looked at Joe with admiration and then stared at Yvonne with contempt.
"Your presence is indeed a nuisance!" Yvonne cast a cold glance over Joe impatiently.
Yvonne was already having a bad time and meeting Joe almost drove her mad, "Get out of here quickly!"
Joe got accustomed to the arrogance and aggressiveness of Yvonne. He knew that she was nothing but a self-serving woman.
