When she opened the bathroom door, she saw Jenifer. If she could do it all over again, she never would have gone at this time.
Looking at Molly frozen at the door, Jenifer didn't say anything.
Molly was stuck between a rock and a hard place. She had no choice so she just continued walking in.
"Hey Molly, tell me something. We grew up together. Why are you so distant now?" Jenifer asked her. Molly just held her breath and didn't say a word. Jenifer felt a flame leaping inside her chest,"So, do you want to know who you met this morning?"
Of course she was curious. They had known each other since they were teenagers. But they were such different people now, ran in different circles. She was rich and came from a good family. Molly wasn't sure if she could really trust Jenifer anymore.
She shook her head, and went inside the stall. Jenifer raised her voice so Molly could hear. "He's Justin Yan, the military vice president of our country. He keeps a low profile. He's also Rory's twin brother."
At this, Molly halted in her tracks, she exited the stall and stared at Jenifer. She felt confused about what Jenifer had said.
Then Jenifer loftily walked over to Molly. She peered down at Molly with her almond-shaped eyes,"You must be asking yourself why the vice president would waste his time on a lowlife like you."
After hearing what she said, Molly frowned slightly. She hated her thoughts to be sensed by people. And this is why she hated talking to Jenifer, because the girl did look down on her.
"Molly, I won't kill you, but only for Edgar's sake," Jenifer said coldly. "Now you're just in his way. President Yan wants to use you to turn Edgar to the Reformist Faction…
I just have no idea why he thinks you'd be useful that way."
Looking at Jenifer with a cold expression on her face, Molly didn't say anything. She pointed at her throat, then shook her hands.
"You can't talk? Are you mute?: Jenifer was surprised. Molly nodded. Jenifer frowned and said,"Since when?"
The cynicism in her voice didn't upset Molly at all.
She didn't want to continue this conversation, so she went back into the stall and locked the door loudly, deliberately. She knew that Jenifer was sneering at her, but she just didn't care. She already felt miserable, and Jenifer's facial expressions meant little to her right now.
After closing the door, Molly paused, thinking about Jenifer's words. She just couldn't figure out why the vice president used her to threaten Edgar.
Suddenly, it dawned on her that Edgar waited for her last night out of the Grand Night Casino. She finally realized there must be something wrong. She quickly opened the door to talk to Jenifer about it, but she already left.
In the dead of night, stars dotted the sky. That was a clear sign for a sunny day.
