"Sorry. Butterfingers."Nancy picked up the phone and handed it to Ain.The latter smiled and typed another sentence. "It's okay. Ms. Lawson, you have such nice skin. It feels smooth and tender to the touch. You must spend a lot of time maintaining it, right?"For some reason, Nancy was not happy to hear a woman praise her skin condition.She found Ain's smile disconcerting, especially since her hand had seemed to linger a little too long on hers. Nancy felt the urge to wash her hands and scrub them clean.However, Nancy did not want to seem impolite. "That's not true. I was just born with it.""No wonder Yaacob likes you so much."Nancy did not like to talk about Yaacob with Ain. After all, it was sort of awkward.However, Ain did not seem to care at all. She talked about Yaacob as if she was talking about a good friend.Nancy did not think she could be friends with Ain. She did not know her well at all.To be honest, she had never let her guard down in front of Ain.Althou

Nancy and Rowena sat in a remote corner of a coffee shop, and the latter took out a copy of the information from her bag.After Nancy had finished reading through it, she asked in surprise, "Do you want to sign up to volunteer in Africa?""The medical conditions over there are terrible, and doctors are needed. The results have been announced, and I am now going through the procedure.""The medical assistance plan written above lasts for one year. Do you plan to stay there for the next year and come back to divorce Randall when the time comes?" Nancy saw through Rowena's true plan at a glance, and she asked, "Randall agreed?""He won't agree." Rowena had lived with Randall for four years and knew enough about his temper.So, she had told him nothing and secretly made all the preparations herself."What do you want me to do for you?""Randall isn't powerful and influential in Africa. I can handle things by myself when I go there. The problem now is how do I seize the opportunity t

"Hello, Randall. I can't get a ride home. Can you drive to the mall to pick me up?" Lola asked."I'm not free today. Send me the address, and I'll send someone to pick you up." Randall's attitude towards Lola was very polite.They did not sound like they were close, but the stern tone he had used on Rowena disappeared when he talked to Lola."Then forget it. I'll wait by myself. I won't bother you anymore." Lola hung up, her face a little stiff.She raised her head to meet Nancy's gaze.Nancy wanted to see Rowena, and her first task was to lead Randall away.So, she specifically asked Lola to help lure Randall away.Now it seemed that her plan was ruined.However, Nancy was not sad. She had learned something. At least she could see that Lola was not as important to Randall as Lola herself claimed.Since she could not get Randall to come to her, it meant that Lola was not as important to Randall as Rowena was.Nancy was quite happy for Rowena. Although Rowena did not care how

Yaacob went for a drink with Randall after dropping Nancy off at university.Yaacob knew that Randall was in a bad mood since he was drinking at that time of day. He put his work aside to keep Randall company. "What is it? You shouldn't feel like this after last night," Yaacob said.Randall put down his glass and looked at his friend. "You know about what happened between me and Rowena last night?""I guessed. There was only one way you would let Johnny go."It annoyed Randall that Yaacob was right.Fortunately, Yaacob and Randall were best friends. Otherwise, Randall would have kept an eye on Yaacob due to his ability to anticipate Randall's emotions. Randall did not hide anything from Yaacob because of their friendship."There's also something else. She wants to divorce me in a month.""Well, that's not so bad. I suppose you would rather spend the last month being intimate with her than have her keep you at arm's length forever." Yaacob saw the bright side of things and tried to com

Nancy knew that Lucy had started the conversation on purpose, but she could not help feeling upset.Knowing that Lucy was fantasizing about having a close relationship with Yaacob, Nancy disapproved of Yaacob giving her a birthday present. Even if it were Yaacob's secretary who prepared the present, Nancy would not be able to bear seeing Lucy's proud face when she received it.Nancy thought about the worst-case scenario. If she and Yaacob could not get away with not giving Lucy a birthday present, Nancy wanted the present to be signed by Yaacob and her as a couple. She did not want to give Lucy the chance to live out her fantasy.After deciding what to do, Nancy was faced with the problem of not knowing what to get Lucy for her birthday. Nancy loved shopping for herself. When it came to buying presents, however, especially for someone she hated, shopping became a dreaded task.Fortunately, Nancy had a helpful friend. Yvonne happily took the ordeal off Nancy's hands after listening to h
