Rachel lowered her gaze.
'Hmph! Rue, I am more than just someone you know!'
Nathan grabbed Rachel's shoulder and smiled. "It's alright, she's even more low-profile than I am. I won't say who she is, but you'll meet again anyhow."
Without any particular reason, Rue felt a little rueful.
She was incredibly curious about the woman in front of her, who seemed to draw more attention than she did, and it made her envious at the same time!
'I should be the one in the spotlight tonight!'
'I am Mrs. Bluemel!'
'I married the man every woman wants!'
'Yet this woman took two-thirds of the attention away from me tonight!'
How would she be able to endure that disrespect?
This familiar-yet-foreign loss made her think of another person!
Rachel!
Rachel clenched her jaw. 'It could not be Rachel!'
'This is the highest class of social event, how would Rachel be able to come in?'
"Oh, what a shame that I can't find out who the lady is."
Rue sighed dramatically.
Rachel squinted and walked out from behind Nathan. She was staring at Rue for just a tad too long.
Due to that, Rue almost thought it really was Rachel.
However, Rachel pulled at Nathan's arm in feigned shyness immediately.
Following that was an even more startling fake high-pitched voice.
"Oh my God, Nathan, this woman is, like, so annoying! She kept asking about me. Is she, like, a lesbian? Does she have a crush on me? She's weird, I don't like women, you know!"
Nathan was startled for just a little before he showed a spoiling smile.
He caressed Rachel's head. "Don't worry, dear. She's just asking."
Rachel stomped deliberately. "I just don't like it! It's weird, I like, have chills running down my spine!"
Rue shivered with shock.
'What the hell is this?'
She began to smile awkwardly. "Oh, don't take it personally. I just thought you looked like a friend..."
Rachel did not want to let Rue off so easily. So, she kept on stomping until she was almost on the verge of crying.
"Just, you know, admit it if you like your friend. Like, why do you have to tell me about your friend? That's, you know, so weird! It's weirding me out!"
Rue backed up a few steps as if she was scared of Rachel.
"Edward, let's walk around there for a bit."
Edward did not intend to go with Rue. "You go ahead. I have something to discuss with Nathan."
Since Edward was not leaving, Rue did not want to leave as well. It was as though leaving his side would give other women a chance to get between their marriage.
Noticing that, Rachel raised her fists and hammered it against Rue's chest.
