It'll Come Naturally -
Chapter 1413 The Newlywed Woman (Part Three)
"Well, okay? How about you go with me to the chef school to inquire?" Michelle asked with a hopeful expression. She was worried that she might be the dumbest student in the class. If Leena went there with her, she would feel much better.
"I'm sorry, but I'm hustling and grinding at work recently. The Paris Fashion Week is in just a few months, and I have to design new, cutting edge clothes for that," said Leena, apologizing profusely. If it weren't for that, she would be very happy to go with Michelle. "Oh, it's okay. If you don't have time, then I'll go by myself," Michelle said, a little disappointed. But she knew Leena must be really busy now as she was a well-known designer. She could do nothing about it.
"I'm really sorry," Leena apologized, as she held Michelle's arm to comfort her.
"We'd better hurry up then. What if Patricia were so angry that her leg suddenly got healed and then she ran away from the hospital, so that she could come after us?" Michelle cracked a joke with Leena. She really couldn't get angry at her.
"That would be a piece of good news for sure. If that happened, she wouldn't have to go through that boring rehab program. Then she should thank us," Leena joked back. They stared at each other, and then burst into a hearty laugh together.
"Did you drive here?" Michelle asked when they arrived at the garden of the hospital. Michelle's car was not so good. She was afraid Leena might not like it.
"Yes, I did. Just follow my car. I'll take you to a nearby supermarket," Leena said. But then she frowned at the sight of a familiar figure. 'What the hell? Oh dear god, not again! I've seen this woman so many times recently. She didn't even get recognized by her fans for once. Is it because she's not that popular yet? Or her fans are too blind to notice her?' Leena thought to herself.
"Hey, are you okay? What's going on? You spaced out all of a sudden," Michelle asked, noticing Leena's sudden change of expression.
"Oh, nothing. I just saw someone I don't like very much," Leena said. She didn't intend to hide her distaste for Dorothy. Michelle was her friend, and she was willing to share everything with her.
"Are you referring to that young woman over there? It's Dorothy Lu, isn't it? She has just signed a contract with FX International Group who is going to manage her career. She has really become popular recently," commented Michelle. Michelle cared about Luke, and had kept an eye on FX International Group. That was the reason why she knew Dorothy had signed a contract with FX International Group.
"Oh, so you know her as well?" Leena asked, a little surprised. She thought a gang member like Michelle would not be interested in shallow tabloids and made-up entertainment news.
"She's in the newspaper every day. It's really difficult not to notice her. By the way, did she do something wrong to you?" Michelle only knew that Dorothy had signed a contract with FX International Group, but she knew nothing about the story between Kevin and her. "Well, she didn't. I just really don't like her." Leena shrugged her shoulders. She didn't know why, but she could sense that Dorothy was harboring malicious intentions towards her. So she really felt uncomfortable when Dorothy got close to her.
"What a coincidence, Leena Leng. Are you here to see a doctor?" Dorothy asked with a sweet smile. She was again wearing a pair of extra-sized sunglasses, but Leena still recognized her with a single glance. But who would not notice a beautiful petite girl like Dorothy? Maybe it was because of a woman's gut feeling.
"It is indeed a coincidence, Miss Lu. Is it because of destiny that brings us together?" Leena said with a fake smile. Every time she was talking with Dorothy, she would feel that she had become a hypocrite. She detested Dorothy, but she had no choice but to pretend to be polite with her.
"Exactly! I have the same feeling!" Dorothy answered, a little embarrassed, for she could tell from Leena's voice that she was mocking her. But at the thought of her photos, she had to go on with her plot.
"So... what are you doing here?" Leena asked, wondering if Dorothy was following her. After all, she had met Dorothy many times after the media had released the picture of Dorothy and Kevin together. Leena couldn't help but wonder what Dorothy was up to. "Leena, is this your friend?" Michelle cut in, pretending not to know Dorothy.
"Miss Lu, do you think that we're friends?" Leena asked Dorothy instead of answering Michelle, for she actually wanted to know what Dorothy had in her mind.
"Uh... I guess we're friends now. First time strangers, second time friends, right?" Dorothy answered with utmost care while observing Leena's expression.
"Well, I think we are not really that close yet, Miss Lu. I guess you have the same feeling as well?" Leena said with a mocking smile. Actually Leena was not an arrogant woman, who would go out of her way to make people feel bad. But she just hated being fooled by people like Dorothy. It was no longer a coincidence that she had run into Dorothy so many times already, and most recently too. Something was up with this girl, and she knew that she was not going to like it.
"Um... I think you are a kind person, and I really want to become friends with you." Dorothy praised Leena as if she had no idea of Leena's distaste for her. However, Dorothy's reaction convinced Leena even more that Dorothy was up to something, otherwise she would have been pissed off by now.
"I'm glad you see me that way. I'm sorry, but we have to leave now," Leena said with a polite smile. She was in no mood to talk to Dorothy any longer. Their encounters had become really boring and meaningless.
"Wait! I am wondering if I could invite you to dinner." Dorothy immediately stopped Leena when she was about to leave. If she missed this opportunity now, she didn't know how and when she could get close to her next time.00000000☐☐☐☐
