"Nicky, why did you suddenly want to go shopping?" I found it a little strange when I saw Nicky standing in front of the counter while choosing necklaces with great interest.
As far as I knew, she seldom went shopping. Not to mention that she only had a two-hour lunch break.
While Nicky was picking a style, she answered me with her thoughts, "Did you also think that I disliked shopping?"
"Yeah, I heard from our colleagues that you wouldn’t go with them every time they went out. You also told them that you usually shopped online a lot and felt that shopping was a waste of time," I said without hesitation.
In fact, I did not like it very much myself. When Cecilia was still around, we used to go out, but now...
Thinking of this, my heart sank.
"I did think that way before I became friends with you." After she picked one, she handed it to the counter to have it packaged and then looked back at me. "But with you, shopping has become a pleasure."
Nicky's tone was sincere, and her eyes were filled with earnestness.
There was untold joy on her face. "Maybe it was because I didn't have friends before, hence I was so against it."
I felt the same.
Nodding to her, I went along with what she said. "Yeah, it does seem that way."
Suddenly, a lightbulb went off my head, and I immediately turned my eyes to Nicky. "Nicky, do you think of me as a good friend of yours?"
"Of course, could it be that you don’t?"
She abruptly asked me back, which caught me by surprise. I hurriedly replied to her," Of course, Ido.”
"That's good, then."
The lady at the counter had already packed up her necklace, so Nicky went to the front desk to pick it up.
I was really glad that I could still have a friend like Nicky after Cecilia left. I had Shannon too.
