“What? There’s nothing between Dylan and me… Don’t say such things and ruin my innocence!” Eve immediately retorted nervously as if her tail had been stepped on.
Ranita held her ground and said suspiciously, “I haven’t said anything yet! Why are you so anxious to explain?”
After years of friendship, Ranita knew Eve very well. She must be hiding something from her.
“What’s wrong?” Ranita lowered her voice and asked, “Did you take advantage of Dylan while you were drunk?”
Annoyed by the teasing, Eve huffed, “Oh, stop making fun of me! I…”
“Well, did it happen or not?” Ranita interrupted her, smiling. “Tell me your story.”
“I…” Eve sighed, “Ranita, I got drunk that day, and something unexpected happened between Dylan and me. It wasn’t intentional, but that guy avoided my calls for two days as if he had suffered a loss.”
It was indeed a big shock for Dylan.
“Give him some time!” Ranita smiled. “Or should I talk to him?”
“No!” Eve replied angrily after a pause. “Don’t you dare! Laugh all you want!”
“Why would I laugh at you? Weren’t you trying to make a move on Dylan for a long time? How do you feel now that you’ve got what you wanted?” Ranita asked, making Eve feel regretful. “I was drunk, I don’t even remember!”
Ranita: …
“Ranita, do you think Dylan will get angry and cut off our friendship?” Eve appeared cheerful on the surface, but when it came to Dylan, she was actually quite cautious. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have kept it a secret for so many years, hiding it from her best friend.
Ranita thought that like attracts like.
She admired and feared love just like Eve did.
“Don’t overthink it. Dylan isn’t stupid. If you were drunk, did he also get drunk? Are you as strong as him, being a woman? So, if he doesn’t want to… who can force him?” Ranita said, and Eve immediately became happy.
“Yes, yes, you’re right! I’ll call him right now and ask him what he means by avoiding me for two days. I couldn’t eat or sleep properly because of this…” Eve said.
“Tsk, tsk, all because of a man, you didn’t even answer my calls. You really have no backbone!” Ranita teased, but Eve retorted, “Pot calling the kettle black!”
“I have been busy these days. When I’m less busy, I’ll come to see you,” Eve said but swallowed her words. Ranita had a lot on her plate, so she didn’t want to bother her.
After hanging up the phone, Ranita pushed the door and entered Olivia’s ward. She heard Olivia muttering angrily, “These people are really unreasonable. They identified Eve from a blurry photo… ”
“Hmm? Olivia, what are you mumbling about?” Ranita asked.
“Oh… Ranita…” Olivia handed her the phone, saying, “Take a look at this slanderous trending topic about Eve. It has been trending for a day and a night, and it was definitely paid for by someone.”
Ranita glanced at it and realized that it was the news she had seen the other day about Eve going to a hotel with Vincenzo. Why hadn’t it been taken down yet?
“Has it been trending for a long time?” Ranita asked.
“Yes! And it exploded even more yesterday! Eve’s company is also at fault. They haven’t taken down the trending topic even though it’s causing Eve to be heavily criticized,” Olivia pounded the bed in anger. “Trash!”
