Memories Of The Night

When she got together with Marcellus, she did her best to be a good girlfriend. She never thought that their relations.h.i.+p would end this way.

Although the pain is not unbearable, it still feels suffocating and beyond comparison. There"s a constant pain in Katrina"s chest as if there"s a thorn in her heart.

Sensing Katrina depression during the past few days, no one dares to mention Marcellus"s name in front of her.

Farrah had witnessed Katrina, and Marcellus"s relations.h.i.+p has developed since the beginning. From the moment they started having feelings for each other, to Marcellus"s confession of love, to them finally getting together, and finally, the moment they break up.

Farrah has been there for Katrina through everything.

After the breakup, she knows that her best friend must be down in the dumps. Katrina broke up with Marcellus not because she wanted to, but because she had no choice.

To support Katrina during the most difficult days following her breakup, Farrah always makes time to keep her company to help cheer her up.

That weekend, Farrah makes plans to go out with Katrina. For girls, the best way to cheer up is to go out with their friends, eating out and shopping together.

Although Katrina seems all right on the surface, never showing how depressed she really feels, Farrah senses that Katrina has somehow lost the energy she used to have.

Even her smiles are weak, sometimes forced. It"s like Katrina is carrying a burden in her heart, incapable of being as happy as she used to be.

Farrah doesn"t push her to vent out her feelings. Instead, she links her arm with Katrina"s and pulls her to the downtown shopping mall. She says in a light and cheerful tone, "Katrina, I don"t have any clothes to wear these days. You have good taste, help me pick out some clothes!"

Katrina lets out a small smile. "Okay!"

Arm in arm, the two girls enter the shopping mall.

Farrah doesn"t want to buy clothes. All she wants to do is to relax and cheer up Katrina.

Katrina is very serious in helping Farrah choose clothes. In turn, Farrah pretends to be serious in trying out clothes.

When they enter a new shop, Farrah is drawn to a dress that seems perfect for Katrina. Her eyes light up in excitement. For women, there is nothing better than buying beautiful clothes and cosmetics.

"Katrina, this dress looks good. Why don"t you try it on?" Farrah asks, reaching for the dress hanging on the rack.

Just as she is about to touch the dress, a brightly manicured hand shoots out of nowhere and grabs the dress out of her grasp. Stunned by the sudden action, Farrah turns to the culprit and snaps in displeasure, "Hey! I saw that first! "

There was no one beside Farrah when she came over to get the dress earlier, meaning she is the first one to see the dress. But the stranger rudely s.n.a.t.c.hes the dress from behind her, without any respect for others at all. Anyone would be annoyed under the circ.u.mstances.

As soon as Farrah speaks, she hears a derisive scoff from her side. A familiar voice sneers, "So? It doesn"t matter if you saw it first! Do you know how expensive this dress is? How could you even think about trying it on if you can"t afford it? The toad wants to eat swan meat!"

By now, Farrah sees the rude woman"s face.

It"s Sophie.

Sophie holds the dress with a proud and contemptuous look, sneering at Farrah and Katrina with disdain.

Because Farrah is not familiar with the brand of the shop they just entered, she didn"t know that the clothes inside are expensive. She chose the dress for Katrina because she thought the style looked good.

At Sophie"s words, Farrah takes a quick look at the price tags on the other clothes on the rack. Indeed, each item is equal to a month"s salary. The discovery makes her wince inwardly.

But it doesn"t give wealthy people the right to humiliate them and cheat others like this. Even if the dress is very expensive, it doesn"t mean that they can"t afford it.

Why does Sophie have to be a b.i.t.c.h? Farrah fumes. Not only did Sophie steal a dress from her, but she also humiliated her in public with her words. Farrah can"t sit back to suffer in silence.

Because Sophie kept bullying Katrina in the past, Farrah has always been very hostile to her out of loyalty to her best friend. In addition to their history, the recent incident makes Farah flare up instantly.

Katrina doesn"t want to waste her time with Sophie over a dress. She gently pulls Farrah"s arm and says, "Come on, Farrah. Just let her have it."

Farrah doesn"t say much when Katrina compromises easily.

Sophie shoots them a triumphant look, feeling pleased with herself for putting Katrina and Farrah in their place. She hands the dress to the shop a.s.sistant, arrogant as a peac.o.c.k. "Wrap it up!"

Farrah knows it"s unnecessary for her to buy something beyond her means just to prove Sophie wrong. Besides, she doesn"t want to lose her temper in the mall and yell at Sophie like a shrew. She can give up the dress, but Sophie has to take back her humiliating words.

Farrah takes a deep breath to relax and says off-handedly, "It turns out Miss Anderson likes the same dress. Too bad it doesn"t seem to fit you very well."

She deliberately folds one arm over her chest, holding her chin with her other hand. With a slight frown, she looks Sophie up and down with a serious look. "The style of the dress clearly shows off the legs. It only looks good on women with slender legs, but it seems that Miss Anderson"s legs are a little thick and bandy."

Farrah keeps casually talking as if she didn"t just insult Sophie. "But if Miss Anderson likes it, just pretend that I never said anything. I can"t blame anyone for buying happiness with money. But even if someone wears beautiful and expensive clothes, it would look ugly on a woman if her body is not perfect. Why don"t you invest in plastic surgery instead?"

Farrah flashes a gentle smile at Sophie, who explodes in rage.
