Virginia spoke at a moderate pace, but her tone was full of attitude. Every word hit Ranita's heart with clarity.
"You... you know about Shannon's pregnancy, right?" Virginia asked in return.
Ranita, the beauty of Kurima Foreign Studies University, was someone Virginia knew a little bit about. She actually liked Ranita because they were similar in nature. Unfortunately, she happened to be Shannon's opponent.
"Miss Murphy, are you here to convince me to divorce Brendon?"
"Brendon's heart isn't with you anymore. What meaning does continuing this marriage have for you?" Virginia didn't answer and instead kicked the question back at Ranita.
"I actually admire you! You shouldn't waste your career on a man. Delaying love and wasting your short life, someone as smart as you shouldn't do these foolish things."
Ranita was speechless.
Virginia wasn't necessarily saying anything outrageous but she just had to side with Shannon.
"Miss Bowman, I believe you can figure it out," Virginia raised her glass to her.
"Virginia! What are you doing here?" Just then, a figure emerged from the dimness. Chris, dressed in a suit, frowned at Virginia. "If there's something, you should talk to Brendon instead of taking it out on her."
"Taking it out on her? Mr. Webster, do you know what I said to her?" Virginia rolled her eyes at Chris and walked away, huffing with anger.
"Are you okay? Did Virginia give you a hard time?" Chris asked, concerned.
Ranita shook her head. "No! She didn't give me a hard time."
"Are you not busy? There are many guests today, so you must be tired," Ranita asked.
Chris smiled gently. "They're all acquaintances, so it's alright." He paused and hesitated, "Shannon is here too. You haven't run into her, have you?"
