"Hello, did you need anything?"June asked politely.
"We're going to be a family soon. Do you think it's appropriate to speak in such a distant manner? I just came out. Let's meet. As your sister-in-law, I didn’t even get to chat with you," At the other end of the phone, the woman's tone was a little unhappy.
June frowned. To be honest, she didn't know if she should meet the woman.
"What's wrong? You're married to Jonas. Why don't you treat me as your family?" The woman's voice was full of mockery as if she knew what June was thinking.
June didn't want to argue with the woman, so she agreed to meet her.
Skylar sat in a cafe. That day, she purposely dressed herself up. Usually she would dress up more maturely in order to cater to her older husband. But that day, she dressed up younger. She was actually in her early 30s, so that look was quite eye-catching.
June followed the waiter and entered the private room. When she saw Skylar, she was stunned. For a moment, she failed to associate the young and beautiful woman in front of her with the hostess of that night.
"Nice to meet you, Skylar," June greeted her politely.
Skylar's eyes instantly fixed on her. Although she tried hard to make herself look younger, in front of June who was in her early twenties, she still felt the ruthlessness of time. No matter how expensive her skincare products were, she could not compare with the young woman in front of her. She was pure and natural, without any touch ups, which made her more dazzling.
June dressed casually in a white sweater and a pair of jeans. Her long hair was let down with light makeup. She looked pure and full of vitality.
"Sit down," Skylar suddenly was in a bad mood, and her voice was cold.
June sat down.
"What do you want to drink? Order it yourself," Skylar was still looking at her. When she thought that June could sleep in Jonas' arms every night, and even be loved by him, her heart was like being stabbed by a knife. It was so hurt that even the blue veins on the back of her hand popped out.
The man whom she had loved deeply before currently belonged to another little b*tch.
"It’s okay. I just had lunch with a friend. I'll just have a glass of water," replied June.
"You don't have to be shy. How did you get to know Jonas? What is your job?" Skylar had already investigated June's interpersonal relationships and knew that she used to be a small actress. She asked on purpose.
June was most afraid that others would ask her about her acquaintance with Jonas, because it was really hard to tell.
"I met him by chance. I work in the entertainment industry now,"June replied stiffly.
"Really?" Skylar saw through her lie at a glance. Met by chance? Didn’t she approach him for the sake of money?
She was really a liar. She didn't know what Jonas liked about her. She was untalented, she got the position only because of her good appearance. Thinking of those degree certificates she got abroad, Skylar suddenly felt sorry for herself. In order to be with Jonas, she’d worked hard and went to the same university as him, but in the end?
She lost to a good-for-nothing woman. It was said that she didn't even get into college.
