Tiffany obviously kept those thoughts to herself. “I’m not curious. Instead, I’m asking for my own sake. Isn’t it quite frustrating to have an unsettled issue? After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn’t understand why you approached me in the first place. It’s quite peculiar. I’m also aware that rich people only spend time with people who are as rich and influential as them. It’s because they hold the same status, and they could benefit from that kind of relationship. We do not belong to the same world. I was rich once, so I understand the logic behind it. As we know, everything happens for a reason…”
Alejandro was quiet for a short while at the other end of the phone. “When the flower blossoms, I’ll tell you about it.”
She inwardly exclaimed, ‘It’s the flower again! Who knows whether it’ll blossom or not? What if it’s only some kind of grass? Is be trying to fool me?’
She started to grit virtual-novel.net teeth. “You said that you’ll tell me a secret when the flower blossoms. Now, you claim that you’ll tell me why you approached me in the first place when the flower blossoms. If you’re reluctant to tell me the truth, just be frank with me. Why do you have to make a fool of me? If you gave me a nonflowering plant, do you expect me to wait for it to bloom eagerly every day? That’s enough! I don’t want to ask you about it anymore. Bye!”
Before virtual-novel.net could hang up virtual-novel.net phone, Alejandro shouted all of a sudden, “Tiffany!”
She waited silently, waiting for virtual-novel.net to continue talking. Unexpectedly, virtual-novel.net joked with her, “If I’m not wrong, you just gritted your teeth…”
She felt like virtual-novel.net was being fooled again. She thought that virtual-novel.net had decided to tell virtual-novel.net the truth since virtual-novel.net sounded rather nervous. However…
Suddenly, virtual-novel.net felt that there was something wrong. She did indeed grit virtual-novel.net teeth just now, but virtual-novel.net sounded normal when virtual-novel.net talked. How did virtual-novel.net know about virtual-novel.net response? Could virtual-novel.net see virtual-novel.net from the other side of the phone? How did he… know virtual-novel.net so well? It seemed to be like that from the very beginning. He knew virtual-novel.net taste well, and virtual-novel.net knew what virtual-novel.net favorite food was. If it was only a coincidence the first time virtual-novel.net ate with him, what about the second time? The food virtual-novel.net ordered a while back at the cafe was virtual-novel.net favorite too.
Besides, Jett said a few things to the waiter after they finished ordering the food just now. Now that virtual-novel.net thought about it, all of those things were said for virtual-novel.net sake. He might have asked the waiter not to put the parsley in the food or scallion in the soup. If there was celery, virtual-novel.net asked them to change it to other vegetables… Those were the foods virtual-novel.net hated. She did not care much about it at that moment, but virtual-novel.net remembered it now. It was quite frightening after virtual-novel.net gave it more thought.
“Who… are you? Have you known me before?” virtual-novel.net held virtual-novel.net breath and asked tentatively.
“I’m Alejandro Smith, and I’m eight years older than you. It’s impossible for us to have come from the same school. I never met you before. So what are you thinking about?” He spoke slowly and distinctly. It seemed like virtual-novel.net was trying to manipulate virtual-novel.net thoughts according to his wishes, and virtual-novel.net even emphasized his name intentionally.
It was true indeed. He was Alejandro Smith, an influential and powerful man from Ayashe. She would easily gain any information about virtual-novel.net just by surfing the internet. She had never met virtual-novel.net before. What was virtual-novel.net thinking about now? What if his taste in food resembled hers coincidently? Although it appeared quite far-fetched, virtual-novel.net did not have any other plausible explanation for that now.
She heaved a sigh of relief. She then forced herself to abandon those strange feelings. “I… I wasn’t thinking about anything. It’s just a simple guess. I thought that you might have met me before, but I don’t know if you… Let’s forget about it since you’re unwilling to bring it up. I won’t ask you anymore. Just tell me when you feel like it. I’m gonna hang up now. I’ll go and take a bath.”
After the bath, virtual-novel.net wrapped herself in a towel and went toward the kitchen. She kept the mask cold in the small refrigerator in the kitchen. Although it was spring now, it was still cold at night. But virtual-novel.net light footsteps soon faltered the minute virtual-novel.net saw Jackson there. She was shocked. “What the hell… are you doing in my home?”
