“That’s enough! You’re already thirty, so stop acting so immaturely,” Clarissa said while tidying up.
Bethany threw a tissue onto the floor. “What are you talking about? Being twenty-eight is completely different from being thirty, okay? One is a woman’s prime, and one’s already going downhill. This soap opera’s pretty good, actually. I never liked to watch these, but I’ve been binging this the whole night. Maybe it’s because I’m imagining myself and Caleb in these situations.”
Clarissa stopped. “Are you hallucinating?”
“Whatever.”
“Do you want to eat, or are you going to just keep lying there? Then again, you can do whatever you want here.”
“You slept with President Lawrence this morning, didn’t you? Looks like you two didn’t get enough of each other last night.”
Clarissa froze. After half a heartbeat, she said, “What nonsense.”
“Come on, I’m not a gynecologist for nothing. How can I not tell when you’ve had sex?” Bethany’s attention finally transferred from the soap opera to Clarissa.
Clarissa sniffed herself. Aside from her own scent, she couldn’t smell anything else.
“Stop sniffing! You won’t be able to smell anything. It’s a special ability only gynecologists have!” Bethany said proudly.
“Stop that nonsense.” Clarissa felt rather awkward.
“Alright, alright. Why don’t you go back to Genovia this weekend?” Bethany asked.
It looked like Clarissa was definitely going back to Genovia this weekend.
“I’m leaving this afternoon. It’s time to get back to helping people give birth.” Bethany looked like a zombie at the thought of going back to work.
“Okay. I’ll treat you to something nice.”
At noon, the two of them took a taxi to a restaurant.
The more time Clarissa spent with Bethany, the more she felt that Bethany was a smart and clear-headed person. In the past, she and Lily had worked at the same company, which was why she had been closer to Lily. Now that she was spending more time with Bethany, she couldn’t help thinking that Bethany was truly precious.
