Rachel slightly opened the menu on the table. The names were all written in English and English. Although she was a graduate, it was still difficult for her to understand these foreign dish names.
In order not to look embarrassed, she pretended to read the menu carefully. Then she closed the menu with a shelf and said coldly, "Let's start again after she comes."
"Okay. I'll serve you later." The waiter took back the menu respectfully, and soon came with a plate, bringing a glass of lemonade warm water for Rachel.
Learning from the stars on TV, Rachel nodded toward the waiter slightly. She felt quite good, forgetting the reason she came here.
There were still fifteen minutes left before the appointed time. Rachel stared at the traffic flow outside the window in a trance. She knew that she had to wait more than half an hour. Every time when they met, Mandy was late. Without exception, she was used to this kind of waiting. Just like her long and bumpy life, she was always quietly waiting for chances one after another.
All of a sudden, a familiar red sports car drove into the parking lot near the restaurant. With a luxury brand handbag with light blazing on, Mandy wore exaggerated sunglasses and walked slowly from the car towards the restaurant. Rachel showed up earlier than the agreed time, which surprised her a lot. But she didn't know that Mandy came here just to kill time because she was too bored and couldn't restrain her curiosity.
Soon, under the guidance of a waiter, Mandy walked slowly to the opposite of Rachel and sat down.
The waiter handed over their menu enthusiastically. Before Rachel could go through the menu carefully, Mandy and her had quickly ordered the food.
She opened the thick menu and ordered some dishes with her fair fingers. Then she said lazily, "Well, this, and that, please order two." Then she closed the menu and waved to the waiter beside him.
The waiter took the menu and read it down hurriedly.
Rachel couldn't imitate the innate temperament and posture. In front of Mandy, she was like a clumsy performing clown, always shorter than her. Her spirit was completely lost, just like a deflated ball. Her originally happy mood was instantly swallowed up.
"Tell me, what happened to you? Why are you in a hurry to spend money?" After Mandy finished ordering, she turned around and looked at Rachel curiously.
Rachel's words reminded her of the purpose of this trip. She suddenly turned down the glass of water in her hand, put her hands on the table, and fiddled with it gently with her head down.
Seeing her choking and unable to speak, Mandy immediately felt a little impatient. She said impatiently, "Say something! Are you dumb? "
Seeing that Mandy lost her temper, Rachel thought for a while and whispered, "I had someone kill the baby in Tina's belly. Now I was blackmailed by those people. I've given them a lot of money before, but they still didn't let me go."
