Soon, Sophie and Cindy arrive at an upscale western restaurant."Table for how many, please?"
"Two."
"This way, please."
With the waiter"s guidance, they enter the venue, sit down at their table, and begin to order.
After ordering, Sophie gets up from her seat with her purse in her hand. "Cindy, I"m going to the restroom."
Then, she walks towards the restroom.
Cindy replies with a smile on her face, "Okay."
But as soon as Sophie turns around, the smile on Cindy"s face quickly disappears. Looking at Sophie"s back venomously, Cindy takes out a cigarette, lights it, and begins to smoke.
The waiter delivering their coffee and juice comes up to her and reminds her, "Miss, this is a non-smoking restaurant. We have a smoking area in the restroom."
Cindy turns down the cigarette. "Sorry."
Feeling a bit upset because of Sophie, Cindy wants to smoke to relieve her frustrations.
After the waiter leaves, Cindy looks at the direction leading to the restroom. When she doesn"t see Sophie coming out, she knocks the cigarette ash into Sophie"s coffee as revenge and stirs it with a spoon. Then she starts to drink her own juice as if nothing happened.

She can"t speak out against Sophie, so she has to do things like this behind her back to get even.
Just as Sophie exits the restroom, she receives a phone call from Carl.
Sophie picks up the phone and walks towards the French window. "h.e.l.lo, Dad."
"Sophie, regarding the one million I promised last time, I"ve already transferred the money to your account. You must manage the flower shop you"re going to open well, all right? Don"t let me down."
"Really? That"s very kind of you, Dad! Don"t worry, and I definitely won"t let you down!"
"All right, I need to accompany a client for dinner now. I can"t talk anymore."
"Okay. Bye, Dad!"
Sophie can"t hold back her joy after she hangs up the phone.
In two days, it will be her birthday. She will call all her friends over for a party and have a good time.
Sophie turns her head and inadvertently sees Marcellus sitting alone in a quiet spot.
Marcellus?
The moment she sees Marcellus, a spark of surprise flashed in her eyes, and when she asked Marcellus out for a movie last night, didn"t Marcellus say that he had dinner plans with Katrina?
Why is Marcellus eating here alone? Where"s Katrina?
Seeing that Katrina isn"t around, Sophie feels happy not to see them together. Marcellus is the only one present at the moment. It"s more convenient for her to try and get closer to him.
Sophie takes out her compact to check her makeup before she walks towards Marcellus. "Marcellus, what a coincidence! I didn"t expect to see you here."
Sophie sits across from Marcellus.
Hearing Sophie"s voice all of a sudden, Marcellus"s originally bad mood seems to flash with more unhappiness.
Sophie hit Katrina.
Marcellus is very concerned about this. After all, he"s known Sophie for years.
He didn"t even learn about it from Katrina, and he had to find out about it on his own. Katrina didn"t want him to know about it. She didn"t want him to teach Sophie a lesson.
In the end, Marcellus doesn"t turn against Sophie. He keeps silent and doesn"t respond to her.
Despite being snubbed, Sophie begins to smile. "Marcellus, the day after tomorrow is my birthday. I"m going to have a party. Do you think you can come?"
In the past, as Sophie"s friend, Marcellus doesn"t refuse her when it comes to her birthday. But this time, he doesn"t even glance at her as he coldly refuses her, "I"m busy."
Although Marcellus deliberately keeps a distance from Sophie, he"s always polite to her. But today, Marcellus"s att.i.tude toward her is cold, as if he would rather not talk to her at all.
Sophie is surprised by Marcellus"s indifference to her.
What did she do wrong?
Why does Marcellus suddenly look upset?
Where is the elegant and gentleman she loves?
In an instant, Sophie realizes what"s going on. She slapped Katrina this morning. Katrina must have told Marcellus about it, and that must be why he is suddenly treating her so poorly.
Sophie can"t help but clench her fist tightly at the thought.
That b.i.t.c.h got back at her in secret!
Knowing that she likes Marcellus, Katrina deliberately rats her out to Marcellus to make him hate her. Although Katrina looks clever and sensible on the surface, she actually has a mean streak.
Unable to restrain herself, Sophie snaps, "Did that b.i.t.c.h Katrina badmouth me in front of you? She did, didn"t she?"
Hearing Sophie"s words, a hint of disgust flashes in Marcellus"s eyes.
Even though Sophie had slapped Katrina, she still maintained Sophie"s image and refused to let him find out and make trouble for her bully.
On the other hand, Sophie rudely uses foul language against Katrina and even calls her a b.i.t.c.h.
Imagining how she bullied Katrina in secret, Marcellus snaps back, "Sophie, watch your mouth!"
Who is she calling a b.i.t.c.h?
Marcellus doesn"t want to get into a fight with Sophie, but between her and Katrina, he will definitely take Katrina"s side.
Now that Marcellus knows Sophie"s true colors, his image of her sinks to the bottom.
This is the first time that Marcellus speaks to Sophie in such a fierce tone.
At that moment, Sophie is in a daze. Unspeakable sadness and grievances overwhelm her.
Desperate to be with Marcellus, Sophie is always so careful to maintain her image in front of him. But within two days of Katrina"s return, Marcellus"s att.i.tude towards her suddenly turns icy.
Katrina, that b.i.t.c.h!
Sophie blames Katrina for all the pain Marcellus causes her.
After waiting restlessly in her seat, Cindy gets up and hurries in the direction of the restroom to find Sophie.
She searches the restroom inside and out, to no avail. Finally, she sees Sophie"s figure in a secluded spot.
Cindy comes over and sighs in relief. "Sophie, there you are! All our dishes have been served."
