Seeing this, Gianna thought she could never be as calm and collected as Eleanor.
She sneaked another peek at Evan, who was still staring at Eleanor, and couldn't help but ask, "Do you like women like her?"
Evan numbly nodded his head. He wanted to ask Gianna what "like" meant, but all he got was a roll of her eyes.
And then...
He got a smack on the back of his neck again!
Evan helplessly followed Bernard into the study.
When the study door closed, Eleanor and Gianna exchanged a look.
The atmosphere was a bit complicated, a bit awkward...
"Ms. Shultz, got any coffee?"
After a moment of silence, Gianna was the first to break it.
Eleanor said yes, then turned around to make some coffee.
But Eleanor, unfamiliar with the new house, couldn't find the coffee. The atmosphere got awkward again.
She turned around, her waist still hurting, to look at Gianna, who was also looking for coffee.
"Would water do?"
Gianna raised an eyebrow, "Whatever..."
She didn't want coffee; she just wanted to ease the awkwardness.
So, Eleanor brought two glasses of water and sat across from Gianna in the living room.
Bernard had actually asked her to go upstairs and rest. But with a guest here, she couldn't just leave, could she?
After a few sips of water, Gianna put down her glass and looked at Eleanor.
"Ms. Shultz, can I ask how you got Bernard to like you?"
Straight to the point.
"Ms. Penrod, why do you ask?"
Gianna pointed to the study, "Cause I want to chase him."
This "him" refers to Bernard.
Eleanor tightened her grip on her glass, about to say I'm married to Bernard; you chasing him is a third-party intrusion.
But before she could say it, Gianna interrupted, "Or, you could teach me some tricks to chase men?"
She wants to chase my husband and wants me to teach her how to do it? Is there no justice in the world? Eleanor lowered her glass and angrily said, "Ms. Penrod, he's mine; you better not get any ideas."
