Bonnie was unaware of what would happen to her while she took the kids to play around in a park nearby. It was the public area for the villas, and many people went there to have fun with their children. The four kids soon blended into the new environment and even Andre went to play the mazes with other children on the beach. Bonnie sat on the bench, enjoying her quality time with her kids when someone called her name.
"Mrs. Grant?”
Annie raised her head and saw a swanky woman in brand clothes, wearing thick and whorish makeup.
"Hello.” Bonnie greeted her.
After she made sure it was Bonnie, the woman sat beside her. "It's you, Mrs. Grant. Glad to meet you at the park.”
"Yes. I take my kids out.”
The woman continued, "I was at the birthday party, but I sat at the corner. I don't know whether you noticed me. Brian is my husband. Brian Musser, remember?”
"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Musser."
"Oh, you're so nice.” Mrs. Musser smiled from ear to ear. "We're so matched. I was thinking that we should be friends since the last time we met!”
Bonnie was confused about the unexpected small talk and actually, sick of this kind of brown noser. She just wanted to get away from her as soon as possible. However, Mrs. Musser thrust a name card into her palm. "Mrs. Grant, I live around the neighborhood. You should come to my house and we can have a tea party. It's nothing wrong to have more friends.” Then, she pointed at the card and meandered, "This is the address of our hotel. We will have a tea party this Tuesday. Many people will come. You should be there.”
Bonnie wanted to reject it subconsciously. However, Mrs. Musser seemed to have known her response, so she left quickly before Bonnie could say anything.
