In reality, Livia was not going anywhere, much less asking her boss. Her words about part-time work were just an excuse. The party, according to her, was another trap.
"I asked, but he didn't agree to give me a day off," Livia replied quietly."
"Why not? Did you tell him it's your classmate's birthday? Just say it's an important day, you have to work every day anyway, it's the same if you work one day less or one day more
Easy to say, Livia thought.
This company had a reward system for no passes. If you came there the whole month, without missing a single day, then you could get two hundred euros for it. Of course, two hundred did not matter to Genara, unlike Livia. Genara usually spent more in a bar, but Livia had enough for a few days. So she could not miss a single day.
"I'm sorry, Genara. I really can't go. My boss can get mad at me for absenteeism and fire me, and I can't let that happen by saying that, Livia gave her a gift. -Here's another thing, I've prepared a little gift for you. It is cheap, but from the heart."
Genara looked at the gift. It was wrapped in a simple package, and it was immediately obvious that there was some cheap trinket inside, so she instinctively developed a sense of disdain. However, she could not show Livia her true feelings, so with a fake smile she accepted the gift.
"Thank you. Actually, for me, I think it would make me happier if you wanted to go to the birthday party rather than give me a present."
Who would believe such hypocritical words, Livia sneered in her heart, but her face did not show it at all.
"I'm very sorry, I hope I can come to your birthday next year if I get a chance, I wish you a happy birthday and have fun then."
" Thank you, Livia. I will definitely leave you some cakes. Angelica is also not going. Don't you accidentally know what her sudden cases are?
- Doesn't she go either? Didn't she agree yesterday? Livia wondered."
- Exactly. Yesterday she promised she would come, and today I suddenly changed my mind. She even gave me some perfume. Look, taking the perfume off the shelf, she handed it to Livia. - It looks like an elite brand. I liked the fragrance so much. By the way, what did you have in store for me?
Livia looked at Angelica's gift, and when she saw the beautiful packaging she immediately changed her face.
She half-closed her lips and spoke with difficulty, "My gift is not so beautiful, it's just a couple of ornaments I bought, but I think it's quite exquisite."
As soon as the words left her mouth, Genara had already roughly unwrapped her gift box and tossed it to the side, obviously acting with extreme disdain, but when she saw the pair of rabbit ornaments, she showed a surprised expression.
"So cute, I really like this gift, thank you Livia~"
- Not at all. I'm glad you liked it, Livia replied indifferently, not feeling the sincerity in Eva's words.
Then Genara took the ornament and casually placed it next to the perfume on the nightstand shelf. The perfume remained upright, but Livia's gift immediately fell on the pillow.
Michela saw it and pulled her lips together.
