Hearing this, Carrie laughed, “Sister Paige, I am now holding the title of First Lady, where can I fall in love?”
If she goes for a relationship at this time, isn’t she destroying Rafael, Paige, and everything that Temple in Heaven has planned?
“What about the one who can talk?” Paige’s gaze faded.
She’d felt Rafael looking at Carrie differently the last time they’d been at the celebration, but at the time she had a bunch of things going on of her own and couldn’t be bothered to look deeper.
“What?” Carrie seemed to not expect her to say such a thing, and was stunned for a while before saying, “You said President Rafael? How can that be, he is a noble son out of a big family, how can we really get involved, you won’t also be compelled by those CP fans on the internet, right?”
Online, she and Rafael were rumored to be the most loving and world-breaking couple.
The public believed in the myth of love where a president marries a commoner, and believed in a future where the class difference in A is getting smaller and smaller.
But when she was there, she could see how different she and Rafael were, reading different books, looking at the world differently, even down to the fact that their work and diet were different, and they had nothing in common.
Paige looked at her with a light smile, “You care about class differences when you’re the one who’s busting them?”
Carrie sat there and thought for a moment, “I don’t know, sometimes I forget about the class difference, but when President Rafael stood in front of me, I realized that we are not in the same world, that’s the difference that exudes from the bones of each person, he lives a life of sophistication and refinement as a norm, and when I look at him, I just feel tired. ”
She is the mentality of a normal working man, work well at her part-time job, come back to her own nest how comfortable she is, barefoot and remove her make-up and eat instant noodles, but Rafael is not like that, he doesn’t even allow cell phones to be placed on the table during meals.
So, she was okay working around Rafael, she really couldn’t do it if she had to fall in love with a man like that.
“I know what you mean.” Paige nodded lightly, “Enrico and I wouldn’t necessarily rub off on him if he was also a nobleman raised in a big family since childhood.”
That’s all, the two of them had a falling out in the first place, if Enrico had Rafael’s aristocratic demeanor at all times, she wouldn’t be able to handle it, it made her scalp tighten just thinking about it.
Carrie laughed, “That’s why I don’t dare to fake it and make myself suffer.”
What love myth to act to everyone to see, to rest everyone’s heart on the line, they also believe it would be silly.
“…”
Paige looked at Carrie’s determined look and ultimately didn’t say that Rafael seemed to have some feelings for her.
It wasn’t her place to worry about other people’s emotional affairs.
The two chatted for a while before Carrie returned indoors to entertain the guests, and Paige, bored inside, took a walk alone in the night.
There is a small lake outside the Presidential Palace, at night the white cranes are gone, only the calm water quietly reflecting the moonlight.
Paige stood quietly in the breeze.
“Paige,” a man’s slightly hoarse voice suddenly came.
Paige turned around and saw Alfredo, dressed in a casual style, walking this way.
Alfredo was invited to visit Rafael’s reelection ceremony, including the private banquet, as a Wind Island Special Person.
Alfredo was able to become a Special Person because of this face as well.
The first time he appeared in the media’s sight from the cruise ship, he was all skinny, the shirt hanging on him looked especially big, when the wind blew, the shirt floating could reflect his bones, but he had a clear and handsome face, the moment he lifted his eyes his eyes were confused and lost, was captured on camera, captured all the women’s love and care at once, and also made the project of redeveloping the slums to push a little bit smoother.
“Alfredo.”
Paige nodded at him faintly, “I didn’t get to talk to you much last time at the celebration, how are you settling in now?”
Alfredo walked towards her with a glass of red wine in one hand and stood by the lake, sniffing and smiling gently, “I’ve never been out of Wind Island in my life, everything out here is too subversive for me.”
Indeed.
Paige looked at him, “I’ve heard people say you’ve gotten pretty good with computers now that you’re learning them.”
“Which is not very good, but just learning a little.”
Alfredo smiles to himself and picks up his wine glass and drains the red wine from it, “Paige, do you really think that A is really at class equality now?”
It seemed that tonight was destined to be a night of discussion on this topic, from Rafael to Carrie to Alfredo …
“What made you think that all of a sudden?” Paige asked.
“Just a moment of emotion, talking about class equality and peaceful coexistence, those plutocrats don’t have their eyes so far up their heads that you pass in front of them as if you’d dirty their path.”
Alfredo let out a bitter laugh, “Even the general public, they talk about solidarity with us online, but in reality they back away when they see the lock ring scars on my wrists, I’m like a virus,”
Paige frowned, she tried her best to avoid contact between the people of Wind Island and the Zaibatsu, but today’s occasion, Alfredo still bumped into it.
She pursed her lips, her eyes became grave, “I know that many aspects have not completely changed for the better yet, but change takes time, Alfredo, trust in time, it can change everyone’s stereotypes little by little.”
Hearing this, Alfredo lifted a pair of bleary eyes to her.
Today was Rafael’s re-election ceremony, she was dressed formally, a long black dress that set off her skin as white as the bright moon, the moonlight ruffled across her eyes, which were so clear that they could make a person ashamed of himself.
“I know you’ve been trying to change all that.” Alfredo said, “Don’t worry, I don’t trust time, I’ll trust you too.”
“Talk to me if you run into any trouble, I can’t force everyone to be able to identify with us Wind Islanders all at once, but I’m not going to let you be left to your own devices either.” Paige said as she looked at him.
At that, Alfredo’s gaze twitched, “Paige, I …”
“Paige-” a cold voice came from far away.
Paige turned back again, and saw Enrico walking this way, seeing her turn back, Enrico stopped his steps and looked at her and Alfredo with an unfavorable face, his eyes were cold, “I don’t want to stay, go home.”
This eyes …
Eighty percent of the time, the memory of some big sister’s husband and third sister’s husband popped up again.
Paige smiled helplessly, answered a “wait”, after looking at Alfredo, “What did you just say?”
Alfredo looks at her with the glass in his hand and smiles as he takes a step back, shaking his head, “Nothing, just wanted to cheer you up, I’m sure you can make everything right.”
“I will, you cheer up too, I’ll leave you to it then.” Paige nodded at him and turned towards Enrico, her steps becoming a little lighter.
Alfredo stood still and watched them.
Enrico reached out and took Paige’s hand in one hand and gave Alfredo a cold look at the lake, “What’s there to say to him?”
“Talk is still about how to make things better for the people of Wind Island.”
