Vermont's expression turned serious, as he held Felicity's face and examined her closely. He stared at her so closely that it made her feel uneasy.She swatted his hand away and glared at him. "What are you doing?"Vermont replied after a long pause, seemingly in disbelief. "How were you a girl?"Felicity's face darkened. "What nonsense are you talking about? We've been dating for so long, and only now you realize that I'm a girl?""No..." Vermont was usually very quick-witted, but he seemed to be at a loss for words at that moment. He did not know how he could explain his thoughts to her. After a while, he said, "Can't you tell? I'm the boy you were talking about."Felicity's lips twitched. "What is wrong with you? Are you possessed? You don't have to go so far even if you want to compete with him."Vermont ignored her question and called out, "Buffy?"Felicity paused before she turned around slowly and asked, "What did you call me?"Vermont's gaze was intense. "Is that your c
Vermont had a strange look on his face, and it took him a while to say, "That's because I've always thought that the chubby little kid was a boy."Felicity was speechless."Besides, you look so different now compared to before. Your face used to look like a ball, and your cheeks were very red. Now, you look like a fairy. How was a mere mortal like me supposed to recognize you?"Felicity did not feel any better after listening to his sweet words and irrelevant remarks about her. She gritted her teeth and went straight to the point. "We spent two years together, and you've always thought that I was a boy? Were you blind? Why did you say that you'd marry me if you thought I was a boy?"Vermont reached out to stroke Felicity's back. "I didn't think too much about it. I had no idea why a big boy would be worried about not having a husband in the future, so I said that to make you feel better."Felicity got even angrier and began hitting him. "What a playboy! You started flirting around
Vermont had never imagined that the kid from his childhood turned out to be a girl, and she even became the girlfriend he was so obsessed with.Although Vermont worked in the entertainment industry, he was not as superstitious as many others in the business.He did not believe in fate or destiny. He only believed in himself.He would do anything in his power to get everything he wanted, just like how he pursued Felicity. Even if it meant using some tricks, he would still do it.However, he suddenly felt as though some things might truly be destined.Otherwise, after all these years apart, just when he was about to forget his childhood friend, why would Felicity suddenly appear in his life?He finally realized why his heart would melt every time he looked at Felicity's watery eyes and wanted to share all the good things with her.He would feel happy when Felicity was happy and feel worse when Felicity was sad.That was because Felicity still had the same eyes that captivated him
After all, Jaylene was the one who played dirty first by stealing her customer. So, Stella figured that she had to do something about it.Since she admired and liked Keegan so much, Stella wanted Jaylene to see how someone so unattainable to her would do just anything for Stella herself!The Century Mall only had one nail salon, and it was located on the third floor.The shop lot was huge. It did not only offer manicures, but it also offered a wide range of other basic beauty treatments. However, manicures seemed to be their specialty.When they stepped into the salon, the receptionist immediately approached them and said, "I'm sorry. Our services here are exclusively for women. Sir, you can head to our designated lounge to wait and enjoy the desserts and tea provided."Stella kept quiet.'Now, how am I supposed to show him off?'Keegan was very happy with that arrangement and even encouraged Stella. "Go on. Beat her with your own capabilities."Stella glared at the gloating pe
Stella heaved a sigh of relief. 'I'm glad that I can think fast.'She wanted to say Jaylene's name, but then she thought that since Jaylene had invited Kayla to get their nails done here, she must have chosen a salon that Kayla visited frequently."Really?" Stella pretended to be surprised. "What a coincidence."Rebecca replied gently, "I'll get you in the same room as Ms. Wilson. The manicurist she booked today is the best one in our salon. She can do all kinds of designs, including hand-painted ones."Stella smiled. "Thank you so much.""Don't mention it. So, which design are you interested in?"Stella looked at her and asked, "Which would give you the highest commission?"Rebecca was taken aback and suddenly felt a little awkward.Stella added, "I'm not trying to pry into your industry secrets. I'm very happy with your service. That's why I want you to earn a little bit more. That way, both of us can be happy."Rebecca was moved upon hearing that. She was only used to custo
"Kayla has never gotten her nails done, and it's me who recommended her to come here. So, I know exactly what she likes."Stella paused. "She has never gotten her nails done?"Jaylene froze and immediately realized that she had said something wrong.She immediately looked at Kayla, who had a cold expression. She could not figure out what Kayla was thinking.Jaylene felt regretful. She had been so focused on stopping Stella from getting close to Kayla that she failed to consider Kayla's feelings. She should not have revealed her relationship with Kayla just because she wanted to provoke Stella.She did not expect Stella to be so shameless and even followed them here.She pursed her lips and tried to correct what she said. "What I meant was that she hasn't done any designs similar to this."Stella breathed a sigh of relief. "Please be clearer next time. I thought you were saying that Ms. Wilson is uncultured."Jaylen's mouth twitched. She had just managed to brush it off, yet Ste
Kayla glanced at Jaylene.Then, Jaylene said hesitantly, "I invited a lot of guests to my birthday party, but not all of them are my close friends. It was just a matter of courtesy.""Oh." Stella nodded and kept quiet after that.She did not need to say anything more, as Kayla could already see what was going on.Stella never thought that she would ever be so hypocritical. She was never a petty person like this. Instead, she was just like the current Kayla. If someone did not like her, she would do whatever she could to show off in front of them.However, doing that would only drain her and make her feel uncomfortable in the end.So, she figured that if she had to feel uncomfortable, she might as well make the people who did not like her uncomfortable as well.She would play their game by their rules to get them back. She was an actress who was simply the best at putting on an act.Jaylene was about to say something, but she heard Kayla asking the manicurist, "Do you have any c
Kayla pursed her lips and said, "I remember you saying I can have a refund anytime for the jewelry I purchased from The Velvet. You sounded very confident back then. What makes you so desperate after just a few days?"Stella chuckled, "I'm just doing what I've got to do."Kayla switched hands for the manicurist as she lowered her gaze and said, "Have you ever considered that no matter how much effort you put in, it still would not mean I'll be your customer? I don't know you very well, and I don't want to get involved in the feud between you and your sister either.""It's your freedom to choose who you want. However, I'm just doing what I can to secure this deal. The outcome is not what I care most about. Getting to know you as a friend is good enough for me."Kayla smiled, "Friend?" She lifted her gaze, "You're only approaching me because of money. Do you really think that we could be friends?"Stella was taken aback. Then, she smiled, "I'll get your deposit refunded right now."
