Bella froze. Then she turned to look at the door.
To be honest, she didn't like others using her personal items, like clothes.
"By the way, I was looking for proper clothes for the interview tomorrow. I don't have any, so I tried on yours. Will you blame me?" Ada said apologetically with a mask on her face.
Since Ada had apologized, Bella could only stifle her displeasure. "Have you found proper clothes?"
"This dress is very beautiful. Can I borrow it?" Ada had her eye on a high—end dress, which was given to Bella by her father on her twentieth birthday. She rarely wore it because there were few formal occasions.
"This is a birthday present from my father. Ada, you can choose another one." Bella didn't want to borrow.
"Don't be so stingy. It's just a dress. I'll wash it after the interview. I promise it will be the same as a new one." Ada had a silver tongue. She ran over and begged Bella.
Bella shift her gaze from the dress to Ada who seemed to like it very much.
"Alright then. Take it." Although Bella was very unwilling, she could not disappoint her friend. Plus, tomorrow was an important day to her.
"Thank you, Bella. You're so nice. Love you." Ada put on a happy expression after she got the dress. She took it and went back to her room.
But Bella was still uncomfortable. She didn't know why.
She then let it go. Now that Ada is in an all—time low, she shouldn't be particular about the trifles.
Ada put on the dress the next morning. The white dress brought out her best features and made her more elegant.
"Bella, do you have a necklace? The dress is low—cut. It looks strange without necklace." Ada put on her makeup and felt that something was missing. She realized that she needed a necklace.
Bella was almost late for school, so she opened a jewelry box and took a necklace.
Ada's eyes widened when she saw all the shiny jewelry.
Heavens, Bella had a lot of jewelry which looked quite expensive.
Ada had always thought Bella was poor after her parents divorced, but it seemed she underestimated her.
"Ada, I'm leaving. Good luck with your interview." Bella carried her bag and went out.
Ada beamed at her. When the door was closed, her smile disappeared instantly.
She turned around and entered Bella's room. She found the jewelry box under the bed and opened it. Seeing the beautiful jewelry inside, she felt jealous of Bella.
All young girls wanted a jewelry box that was filled with shiny things, but she didn't have it.
Ada turned green—eyed. She took out a bracelet and put it. It was really beautiful and dazzling.
"One day, all your jewelry will be mine." Ada put it back. She swore that she must live a better life than Bella.
Bella ran very fast because Ben was waiting for her downstairs.
Ben was standing in front of the garage, dressed in a smart suit. Many passers—by peeked at him.
Bella ran to him and asked nervously, "Sorry, am I late?"
