Lilly held the phone, staring at the screen in a daze.
Ms. Gemma Sullivan…?
Oh! Gemma Sullivan!
The young lady Lilly's mother possessed!
She hadn't seen her in such a long time. Lilly had a great impression of this young lady that her mother had clung on to for a while. She forgot to be sleepy altogether, hurriedly making a phone call over.
"Hello?" Her adorable voice was a little nasally from just having woken up.
Gemma was struck by the cuteness at once. "Lilly, there's this guy who won't leave me alone. He's so weird and narcissistic!"
Lilly held the phone in one hand, clutching her pants in the other. "Gemma, why haven't you called me in such a long time!"
Gemma stopped short. "Huh? I just didn't want to disturb you guys…"
They were all a happy family— there was no point in interrupting that.
The two of them chatted for a while, when Lilly suddenly began counting on her fingers. "Gemma, don't block him! I'll come looking for you another day!"
Gemma said, "Huh…?"
Lilly hung up the phone in a hurry. "Oh me oh my, I'm gonna be late for school! Bye, Gemma!"
Gemma said, "What???"
Beep beep beep…
Gemma looked at her phone, seeing messages come in from Chad.
You're twenty-two this year, you don't have much time left… you're going to be out of the market once you pass twenty-five.
I'm right, aren’t I!
Gemma frowned, and could not help but reply:
My *ss, you're right! You useless man, I can't believe you went to school for so many years just to turn out like this!
Conservative people cover their bodies up, but I think you've covered your f*cking brain!
Did you not put on your brain this morning waking up? Stinking up my inbox with your dimwit messages!
How much do you make a month? A couple thousand dollars? Who are you to say women are out of the market? Go ask your mother if you're in the market at all, you piece of garbage!
Gemma got more and more angry as she typed. She sent a few swearing emojis, before chucking her phone to the side.
She switched to another phone, throwing on a new set of clothes and left the house to have breakfast.
She had an abundance of phones anyways, and all of them were functioning.
She wasn't going to work, and there was no need to worry that someone would have to reach her urgently!
She could do whatever she wanted.
Over on another end.
Chad's expression was expression, staring at his phone in a fit of fury.
What a trashy woman. These children whose parents died early on truly weren't taught any manners at all!
How dare a woman like this still be picky? She should be thankful that someone found her attractive at all!
But Chad realized that Gemma did not block him after telling him off, and scoffed to himself.
See? Women were just annoying like this. She clearly didn't have feelings for him, but was still keeping him in her contacts just so there would be an extra person liking and commenting on her posts whenever she updated.
He sent another text: It's not classy for a woman to use the word 'f*ck'. Please mind your language.
