"I am just happy for you." Leena had a big grin on her face. Well, her best friend and her brother were finally together. Wasn't it a huge miracle and something to really be happy about?
Patricia rolled her eyes at her friend's words in fake annoyance. Leena was indeed her best friend who knew her inside out. They were alike in more ways than one.
Life was just perfect for Patricia now. She had great friends who cared much about her around, a bittersweet love she would remember for the rest of her life and a lot more to look forward to.
"Hi, would you mind if I sit here?" In an elegant and tranquil coffee shop, Dorothy gently asked Leena in a sweet voice, looking at her with smiling eyes.
"Oh. Hello, Miss Lu. Of course not. Please, have a seat." The corners of Leena's lips lifted into a gentle smile. She was much more mature than she was before. She had that beautiful and elegant aura around her just sitting there.
"Thank you." After these words, Dorothy pulled a chair and sat down in front of Leena. As usual, she had that pair of over-sized sunglasses, hiding half of her face. She looked sexier than the last time they saw each other and Leena noticed it.
"Would you like something to drink? I can order it for you." Saying this, Leena raised her hand and gestured for the waiter to come. There was a small smirk on her face. 'What is going on, that Dorothy and I keep running into each other? I can't even have a cup of coffee alone.' she thought to herself.
"I will have a latte. Thank you." Dorothy gratefully smiled at Leena. The smile lit up her young and beautiful face. Though she and Leena were about the same age, Leena still thought that Dorothy looked more youthful and was much more childish than her. Maybe Leena just went through too much in her life that she couldn't help but be a grown up.
"Miss Lu, it's such a surprise seeing you here. Are you not busy filming? How about other projects?" Leena asked in a casual tone, taking a sip from her coffee. She was really curious why Dorothy would be here instead of working.
"I just happen to have some time for myself, that's all. I will start filming a big movie in a few days. I won't be so free and easy then," Dorothy said while looking at Leena's face. To be honest, she envied Leena for her flawless skin. Leena's skin was fair and luminous, making her shine like a doll. She hoped to get her secret of keeping such beautiful skin, one day.
"That's good to hear. What is the movie about? I'm sure, with you in it, it will be a blockbuster." Talking with someone you didn't know well was definitely torture. It was boring and also awkward for Leena. Fake smiling at Dorothy and chatting with her could get exhausting. It would be easy to run out of things to talk about.
