Imogen perked up immediately upon hearing this.
"Cordelia, no matter what, there's still hope for Elijah! He's not a scumbag like Ben," she said.
Cordelia looked at Imogen and asked cautiously, "Imogen, what's your plan?"
Imogen replied, "What can I do? I'll just go with the flow. I hope that eventually, when he gets tired of me, we can also part ways amicably. Just like you and Elijah did."
Cordelia observed the hint of sadness in Imogen's eyes and patted her hand to comfort her.
It was clear that Imogen still had feelings for Ben, but the uncertainties of reality had made her hesitant to invest in the relationship any further.
As people grew older, their solitude also grew stronger.
Cordelia had learned to accept and even enjoy her solitude.
Over dinner, when Cordelia was settling the bill, she unexpectedly ran into Elissa.
Elissa had become a somewhat faded actress. And now, she seemed even more pretentious and arrogant than before.
Cordelia couldn't be bothered to pay her much attention and put on her sunglasses.
However, Elissa approached her, making the first move. "I heard you got divorced. Congratulations."
Cordelia didn't bother to glance at her and smiled. "Miss Flores, you really have a way with words. I really liked it when you congratulated me."
Elissa's eyes widened. She felt that Cordelia was rather pleased about her divorce. But again, she might be pretending.
Elissa sneered, "You're just trying to save your dignity."
Cordelia remained smiling. "Aren't we all? Otherwise, why bother cosplaying for producers?"
"You!" Elissa's lips twitched, and her gaze turned malevolent. "Is it that bitch Imogen who told you?"
