Tanya lowered virtual-novel.net head shyly. “Stop it…”
Tiffany was enlightened when virtual-novel.net saw the look on virtual-novel.net face. “Sure, of course. I understand. This is great news. Don’t worry, I’ll do everything I can to make it happen between you two. We should always keep the goodies in the family. It’s first come, first serve. I’ll invite virtual-novel.net for you.”
The group agreed to meet up at the shopping mall. Tanya had happily dressed up too. Eric was the last to arrive… And virtual-novel.net wasn’t alone. He had brought a woman.
The woman standing next to Eric seemed like a good match for him. She was shining and beautiful, and absolutely dazzling… Tanya’s face turned ashen, unsure of how to react.
Tiffany had no idea that Eric had a girlfriend. She felt very awkward when virtual-novel.net saw the peculiar look on Tanya’s face. “Eric, what’s going on? Who is this? Won’t you introduce us?”
Eric confidently put his arm around the woman’s shoulders. “This is my girlfriend, Vicky Nathanial. This is virtual-novel.net first time meeting all of you. We’ve been talking for half a year, and we got together when virtual-novel.net returned to the states. We plan on moving in together.”
Vicky wasn’t exactly dressed in a grandiose style. She wore a white mid-length knitted coat with a white t-shirt on the inside, a pair of light grey jeans, and ankle boots. Her tall and slender figure served as an asset in showing off the outfit to its highest potential. Her simple elegance carried an absolutely attractive air. She wore minimal make up on virtual-novel.net face, so it was clear that virtual-novel.net had gorgeous features. Her palm-sized, delicate, oval-shaped face and long, straight black hair was simply stunning. She seemed meek and polite too. “Hello, everyone. I’ve just arrived back in the country, and I’ve been eager to meet you. Would you like to join us for dinner tonight? My treat.”
At this point, Tiffany truly couldn’t bring herself to crack a smile. One could tell that Vicky was from a wealthy, well-bred family at a single glance. Her body was comparable to a supermodel’s and virtual-novel.net was extremely beautiful. Her aura alone was enough to flatten Tanya, there was no comparison, an absolute defeat. Therefore, the situation had now turned completely awkward. She tried virtual-novel.net best to lift Tanya’s spirits and avoided standing next to Jackson, choosing to hook virtual-novel.net arm around virtual-novel.net best friend’s arm. “We’ll see… We might have something going on tonight. It’s hard to say.”
Vicky cast Tiffany and Tanya a measuring gaze, a glint shooting across virtual-novel.net eyes. “Oh I see. Sure. Let’s have dinner if you have no other plans. If you happen to have any last minute plans, we can eat together another day. Would that be okay?”
Tiffany summoned virtual-novel.net nerves and nodded. “Let’s start shopping! Stop standing around.”
Vicky suddenly appeared next to Tanya and hooked virtual-novel.net arm around Tanya’s other arm, like a close friend. “We girls should walk together. Those two men can stick together. You’re Tan, right? Ricky talks about you all the time. I heard that you stayed at his place for a while. He says that you’re a very nice girl and that you even went to his place yesterday to clean up his garbage pile, right? I’m sorry for the trouble. That’s just how virtual-novel.net is. He’s careless when he’s living alone.”
As it turned out, virtual-novel.net wasn’t the only one to call virtual-novel.net “Ricky” anymore… Tanya felt embarrassed and forced a smile. “It’s fine, Eric has been very helpful to me. I wouldn’t have had anywhere else to stay if virtual-novel.net hadn’t taken me in. I wasn’t aware that you were dating. I wouldn’t have stayed at his place if I did… Please don’t overthink it…”
Vicky smiled innocently. “Of course, not. Why would I? Ricky’s always been very kind. He’s even saved a wounded stray dog once. Of course, he’d help a friend like you.”
Tanya lost all virtual-novel.net willpower to fake a smile when virtual-novel.net heard this. Tiffany’s heart sank as well. Looks like Vicky wasn’t as meek as virtual-novel.net seemed. No woman would be fine with having a member of the opposite sex staying with virtual-novel.net boyfriend. Furthermore, Tanya had been cleaning up after him, even after virtual-novel.net had moved out.
Jackson and Eric were walking behind the three women and chatting about business, blissfully unaware of the rising turmoil in front.
