Katrina has been with Aaron for so long. He saved her life and treated her well. More importantly, she doesn"t hate him anymore. At this moment, introducing Aaron as her boyfriend only seems right. After all, she is used to being around with Aaron. No reason for her to humiliate him in front of her best friend. It only takes a moment for Farrah to recover from her shock. She squeals excitedly, "Really? Katrina, why didn"t you tell me you have a new boyfriend?"
"I"ve been so worried about her! Marcellus married another woman so quickly after their break-up, I thought she"d be devastated. But now that she has a new boyfriend, I don"t have to worry anymore! She looks so happy with him. I should be happy for her too!"
Katrina hesitates before replying, "We just got together, I couldn"t tell you until now. I do not want you to be upset as I waited for the right opportunity. And because you are here now, I heartily introduce Aaron to you, he is my new found love," She quickly wore an awkward smile afterward.
Farrah accepts the explanation easily and greets Aaron with a smile, "h.e.l.lo, Mr. Wilson. I"m Katrina"s best friend, Farrah Jones. Thank you for helping her with my brother today. I am so happy for both of you,"
Aaron smiles in response. "h.e.l.lo, Miss Jones. Katrina talks about you a lot. Don"t mention it, and it wasn"t a bother at all."
After Farrah and Aaron exchange greetings, Farrah winks at Katrina and whispers, "Katrina, where on earth did you find such a handsome man? You work fast! I like him so much for you. I think you are a match made in heaven,"
Farrah quickly compares Arron and Marcellus in her mind. Though Marcellus is well off, handsome, kind, and elegant, Aaron is much better than him. Marcellus is from a distinguished family, and he has his own law firm. There are few men like him in the city, but looking at Aaron in front of her, she could justify that this man is coming from the richest family too.
"I thought she"d have a difficult time getting over Marcellus because he"s such an ideal boyfriend. But her new boyfriend is like a flawless movie star!
He"s tall and elegant, radiating n.o.bility with every movement. From his bespoke suit and expensive wrist.w.a.tch, he"s obviously a very wealthy man. He seems to be better than Marcellus in every way.
Katrina always attracts perfect men. All her boyfriends are excellent!
Despite her happiness for Katrina, Farrah can"t help despairing for herself. "Why do all the men I meet are so ugly and stingy? Why wasn"t I able to meet someone like Aaron?"
Katrina doesn"t want to think about how she met Aaron. Worried that Farrah will ask more questions about her new relations.h.i.+p, she quickly changes the topic. "Farrah, it"s really late. You should take Patton home and clean him up. I"ll go home and rest too."
"You"re right, let"s catch up another time." Farrah takes Patton"s arm when she notices that Katrina was limping a little. She immediately asks in worry, "Katrina, are you hurt?"
"No wonder she"s leaning against him! She must"ve gotten injured saving Patton."
At Farrah"s guilty look, Katrina shakes her head with a smile. "I"m fine. You know I"m not used to high heels, I just accidentally twisted my ankle. Don"t worry, I"m fine. I"ll feel better after I get some rest. This is just a minor injury,"
Worried that Katrina"s ankle will worsen if she keeps walking, Aaron suddenly bends down and picks her up.
Katrina shrieks on instinct and glares at Aaron, face red in mortification. "What the h.e.l.l is he doing? It doesn"t matter when he does things like this at home, but Farrah is right here! Why did this man want to feel upset? His att.i.tude sometimes is so childis.h.!.+"
Completely ignoring Katrina"s warning look, Aaron turns to Farrah and says gracefully, "I"ll take Katrina back home safely. Don"t worry I will take care of Katrina,"
Seeing that Katrina has such an attentive boyfriend, Farrah is no longer worried about her and nods. "Sorry to bother you, Mr. Wilson! See you both at another time,"
Farrah watches Aaron stride away with Katrina with a glimmer of admiration in her eyes.
Aaron ignores Katrina pounding his chest, and carries her to his expensive car in an elegant and domineering manner. The driver opens the door for them, and Aaron carefully deposits Katrina in the backseat before closing the door and entering the car from the other side.
The romantic scene gives Farrah complicated feelings. Since she was young, she has always known that she will never be the heroine in the romantic stories she loves so much. She"s just another supporting character who witnesses a great love story from the sidelines.
Seeing such an ideal man spoiling Katrina so much makes her very happy for her best friend. But it also makes her feel a little jealous.
"We both grew up in an orphanage, but only Katrina gets pursued by excellent men. Why are all my suitors so disappointing? They"re either particularly ugly or really broke. They don"t compare to Katrina"s boyfriends at all. Katrina often meets a good guy and becomes her boyfriend."
"How am I supposed to be satisfied with this? I can"t help comparing myself to Katrina. Though she"s pretty and simple, she always has a good life than me,"
"In the future, Katrina will live a wealthy life, spoiled by her handsome husband every day. Meanwhile, I"ll marry an average man who has a mortgage and car loan to pay off. Besides working all day, I"ll come home to endless housework and motherly duties. We"ll be living paycheck to paycheck, always fearing our income won"t be enough. I should find someone like Aaron, who can afford to buy me expensive things.
The thought makes Farrah shudder with dread. Driven by sudden determination, she vows to herself, No way! I must find myself a perfect man too!
