"There were only so few first-class seats, so it's normal that I ended up buying a seat next to Theo," Harriet lied without faltering. I almost started admiring her.
With acting skills as good as hers, she could become an actress as well as a model.
I cursed silently, but there was a small smile on my mouth. "It's normal, yes. Sit tight, then, you two. I’m off to the bathroom."
After saying that, I turned around and left.
When I came to the bathroom, I let out a huff and clenched my hands into fists.
No wonder she did not want to be with us. It was so she could be with Theo!
Did she not know that Theo and I were already married? She was such a popular star, yet she did not know how to pay attention to her own words and deeds. How was it decent for her to flirt with a married man on an airplane?
After about five minutes of venting in the bathroom, I came out.
When I passed by their location again, Harriet was no longer bothering Theo anymore and seemed to have failed. Harriet also glanced at me. Her expression was unkind, but I did not care. I just went past them and got out of sight.
When I got back to my seat, Shannon was already up.
"Why did you take so long in the toilet?"
"I met an eyesore and needed to vent a bit," I responded fiercely.
Seeing that my expression was not right, Shannon hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"
"That superstar didn't join us and bought a first-class ticket on her own. Now, she’s sitting next to Theo, putting on an act in front of him," I took a deep breath and said lightly.
"What?!"
Shannon's eyes widened, and her voice was a screech in her moment of excitement. I smiled apologetically to the people around me and then looked at her. "Don't get so agitated."
