"Wow? Who is that?!" Julie Tan heard one of her college friends ask.
She was actually having her early lunch with her college classmates to catch up with everything going on with each other's lives.
For the rest of the girls, they are close friends, for Julie Tan, they're just some girls who she needed in order to maintain a good reputation of being friendly and of course, following the standard rule of social protocol.
On the outside, she looks like she's having the most fun but on the inside, she's feeling disgusted by these girls who think they could also stand on the same level in society as her just because they're friends with her.
"Wait, she looks familiar!" Another one of their friends added.
"By the looks, indeed she is. But I haven't known anyone with the same red hair as well, oh shit waittt!" The girl moved to have a better view, "Damn girls! That's senior Veronica!"
All the three girls on the table except Julie Tan gasped in wild surprise. They turned to look at Julie who, they remembered, had never been close to this senior because of that event when they were just freshmen in college.
They themselves never tried to get close to Veronica Wang but still remained civil and nice to her out of respect of being a senior, afterall, Veronica Wang was already a fourth year and graduating while they were just freshmen.
The first girl who mentioned Veronica, named Tina turned to look at Julie.
"Julie, do you still remember Senior Veronica? And did you hear it? The Sy Madame said she's her future daughter in law?! Oh my gosh! Shocking news!"
Another girl who mentioned that Veronica Wang looks familiar who's name is Carla added, "Our batchmates need to hear about this news! So amazing for senior Veronica ah! Just wow!"
Meanwhile, Julie Tan, despite her years maintaining her soft and kind facade, was almost at the edge of snapping out just hearing these parasitic friends admiring her ultimate nemesis, Veronica Wang.
Julie couldn't understand it! How come that it's hard for her to maintain her facade now?!
She thought she had perfected the art of putting up a fasçade and yet here she is, almost at the last piece of her rationality to cause havoc in the restaurant.
'This is all that bitch Veronica's fault! If not for her, everything would have been smooth sailing, but not that she only destroyed her day but also seemed to return back to Country P just to destroy her future as the future Madame Sy?!'
Julie Tan suddenly stood up.
"Hey girls, I'm going to the comfort room first", ulie Tan said weakly.
"Julie, are you okay? Wait, let me accompany you", Tina offered her help seeing as their kind and nice friend looks too pale.
