Chapter 225
Laura forced a smile and left the office with Sam.
Once they were outside, she looked questioningly at the phone in Sam’s hand. “Sam, are you watching a livestream? What kind of livestream is it?”
She leaned over for a look and saw Madison on the screen. Her expression dimmed immediately but then went back to normal just as quickly.
She said cheerily, “I didn’t know you liked to watch pretty ladies stream, Sam! I like it a lot too. Pretty ladies love to watch other pretty ladies. But watching is enough, Sam! Don’t send them any gifts!”
She covered her mouth, her laugh crisp and clear.
“You must not know that a lot of these female streamers specifically bait people into giving them gifts, Sam. Sometimes, not even children are beyond their morals. Especially pretty female streamers… Just watching them once in a while is enough.”
She added deliberately, “What’s more, there’s me and Heather at home. Aren’t we enough eye candy for you,
Sam?”
She had said something along those lines before too. Only, he hadn’t taken her words to heart back then. But now that he was hearing them again…
He noticed what was off about Laura’s wording. Instead of replying, he glanced at the smiling woman before immediately getting into the back seat of the cab. Laura took a seat next to him.
“Why don’t you ride in front? I have something important to deal with today,” Sam told her.
Laura paused, then smiled. “What’s so important that you can’t discuss it in front of me? Don’t tell me you still want to watch the livestream?”
“I have matters that can’t be casually discussed in your presence,” Sam replied.
Laura fell silent.
Her expression changed subtly. She moved to take the front passenger seat, glancing in puzzlement at Sam out of the corners of her eyes.
Sam put on his earphones and typed out a comment in the live chat.
“Miss, I’m really not cheating with her! I never knew that she had feelings for me.”
Madison replied, “She has strong cheekbones. This generally means that she’s a really competitive person–someone who won’t accept compromise. Full lips and a wide mouth represent a very daring person who doesn’t fear others gossiping about them.
“Her index finger is longer than her ring finger, indicating the sort of person who will steal away what other people have and who’s inclined toward being a mistress. They think that others have it better than them.”
As he listened, Sam thought over whether Laura had the qualities Madison listed out. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Madison’s words were
true.
Laura’s ex–husband was her best friend’s boyfriend. They got married after she stole him from her.
Heather had also always said that their parents doted greatly on Laura because she was the youngest in the family. Since she was young, she had always been granted the luxury of choice.
He thought of when he sometimes returned with gifts after his business trips.
