When I was going to leave, Olivia stopped me, “I will never give up, Clara. If I can’t get him, you won’t get him, either.”
Well, maybe I had overrated her. Looking at her, I raised my eyebrow, “He is not a thing that you can get if you want, but a real person. And he never loves you. If you want to hurt me, you can have a try. But if you want to hurt him, maybe you are just daydreaming. After all, everything you have belongs to him, including your man. If you destroy him, you destroy yourself.”
I knew that friendship among Dennis, Marcus and Mario was important. Marcus and Mario would definitely take measures if Olivia wants to hurt Dennis.
She snorted and said, “Let’s see.”
I didn’t know exactly her feelings for Dennis.
At first I thought it was love, but over time I found that I was wrong. It might be dependence. Dennis had taken care of her for many years and she had used to being the only woman Dennis caring about. Such relationship might change when he started to take care of other people.
Folly was picking clothes in a clothing store. Seeing me coming in, she asked, “Did she threaten you?”
I smiled and looked at her newly-changed clothes, “Didn’t you say you wanted to buy jewelry?”
Folly stood in front of the mirror and look at herself in the mirror, “I found that there wasn’t too much clothes for me recently. Besides, coldness cannot become a barrier for me to pursue my beauty.
Seeing that I was not going to pick any clothes, she asked, “Are you saving the money so that Dennis could run his company?”
I shook my head, “No, I actually don’t like to buy clothes. Those in my house is enough.”
My only requirement for clothes was that it could make me warm.
She was speechless, “Fortunately, Dennis has protected you well, or you will be teased if you meet media.”
She picked out the latest clothes for me and said, “Go and try it.”
“I don’t…” She interrupted my words of refusal, “You should buy something if you go shopping!”
“But I really don’t need to buy.” I said. I had used to wearing a set of clothes for many years during the four years in HL Area, and I could not actually enjoy shopping.
Folly said, “I have to wonder if you are a woman. A woman’s closet is always missing one piece of clothing. Don’t dilly-dally, go and change.”
I had to go into the fitting room to change it.
She picked a knitted top and casual pants for me. The pants were a little loose, probably because I was thinner recently.
“Are you okay?” Folly asked.
I opened the door. She looked at me and nodded, “Here, with a camel-colored coat, and coil your hair. Perfect!”
Then she helped me with it.
Folly was 1. 7 meters tall. With high heels, she was much taller than me.
After getting it done, she called the receptionist and said, “We will have those. And could you please help me throw the clothes she had changed off away?”
“I can still wear them” I said.
She shrugged, “I know, but they are out-dated.”
I was speechless.
I always wear that set of clothes because it was comfortable, so I didn’t care too much about when it was produced.
Hearing her word, I thought I was a little out-dated. Therefore, I listened to her and bought lots of things.
I took a taxi and she drove here. Neither of us had a driver.
How should we take thing we bought home?
She pondered for a while and called Zack.
I never thought that she would be so gentle when talking with her husband.
“Zack, I am in the downtown mall. Could you please come and help me carry what I had bought? They are too heavy for me.”
Seeing what she had bought, I thought she was a little pretentious. Things she bought were all clothes and jewelry. It was just too much, not heavy.
She hung up the phone. Seeing me looking at her puzzling, she said, “Women should show weakness when they should.”
I froze and smiled.
Then she called another people.
“Hello, Dennis, are you off work?” I froze for a moment when she called Dennis, then I stared at her with wide eyes.
She overlooked me and said, “Come to the downtown mall to help carry things, okay?”
Maybe she was the only one who could speak to Dennis like this.
Then she looked at me, “He will come in ten minutes.”
I gave her a thumbs up towards her and found a bench to sit on.
Having been walked for so long, I was pretty relieved when sitting down. Folly was wearing high heels. Once she sat down, she started to complain, “I will never wear them anymore.”
“Maybe you can wear those with lower heels, or you will never feel well even with the best shoes.” I suggested.
She looked at me and smiled, “Clara, when will you start to treat me as your friend?”
I was puzzled, “Aren’t we friends?”
She nodded, “If we are friends, you would have stonewalled me just now. However, you had just given me some advice, which means that you are only treating me as an ordinary friend, not a good friend.”
