Chapter 65 A Supermarket Run
The street was quiet, with few people around.
“I got my paycheck! Let’s go out for a fancy dinner!” Zoe smiled brightly, like a flower in full bloom.
People who just got their paychecks walk around like they own the place.

Iris spoke softly. “Don’t waste money. Save it up. You’ll see how important savings are when you need cash.”
Zoe pouted. “You sound just like my mom.”
“Oh, my good girl.”
Zoe couldn’t help laughing, shaking Iris’s hand and linking their arms tighter.
Iris smiled, looking down.
Zoe glanced at her face. “You seem happy. Did you fix things with your guy?”
“No.” Iris’s smile faded. “He won’t divorce me.”
Zoe snorted. “Ugh, men. Most of them are messed up one way or another.”
“He’s definitely got his share of issues.” Iris couldn’t help complaining too.
“He doesn’t love you, won’t divorce you, and he’s so cold to you all the time. He’s definitely in a fake marriage. He’s gay, for sure.”
“I don’t think his sexuality is the problem.” Iris’s voice was uncertain.
They stopped at the subway entrance. Zoe looked indignant. “He’s messed up! You’re so pretty and have such a great body. If I were lying next to you, I wouldn’t be able to keep my hands off you. I’d have to kiss you. How does a guy with so much energy hold back?”
“We sleep in separate rooms!”
“See? Told you he’s messed up.”
“He’s a bit of a clean freak.”
“You’re soft and clean. You’re not dirty at all.”
Iris smiled bitterly, letting go of Zoe’s hand. “Go take the subway. I need to go home.”
“Why go home so early? Let’s eat something nice outside. It’s not expensive-just a few hundred bucks.”
“I need to take time to study. My brother owes millions in debt. I wanna save up so I can help him if he needs it later.”
Zoe patted her head. “What a good sister! Go on, bye!”
“See you tomorrow.” Iris waved and went on her way.
The streetlights were dim, and the night was a little cool
