In the quiet cafe,
sweet music was being played on the piano, which made the atmosphere somewhat romantic.
In the seat at the corner, Zena stared at the coffee in front of her for a long time, but she didn't intend to drink it.
"You saw the waiter serve it, so just drink it without worries."
Zena raised her head and looked at the woman in front of her, smiling faintly, "Are you kidding me? I'm sorry, but I don't think it's funny."
The woman sitting opposite Zena wore smoky makeup. She dressed very sexily, and she was wellshaped. Although she wore heavy makeup, it could be seen that she was not bad-looking.
This woman was Josephine, who hadn't appeared in front of the public for a long time.
Hearing Zena's words, Josephine didn't get angry. Instead, she shrugged her shoulders and smiled, "After all, we're not familiar with each other. I think it's good to say a joke to keep a closer relationship between us."
Zena said, "Since you know we're not familiar with each other, why did you ask me here?"
"But you still came here with me, didn't you?" Josephine turned over the lighter in her hand and didn't look as proud as before. Instead, she was a bit of raffish and wide, "But you made a mistake." "What?"
Josephine raised her eyebrows, "You said we're not familiar... Maybe you're not familiar with me, but I know a little bit about you."
Hearing this, Zena was somewhat unhappy. Didn't Josephine mean that she had investigated her in private? Just a little bit? She didn't believe it!
Josephine seemed to have noticed that Zena was annoyed. She smiled and said, "Don't be unpleasant. Isn't there a saying that knows the enemy and knows yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat? Since I came to seek cooperation with you, I should know something about you. Am I right?"
She would only find someone useful. If Zena was useless to her, why should she spend so much energy and time on her? Wasn't that stupid?
Therefore, during this period of time, when she knew Zena, she paid attention to her especially. But to her surprise, she was quite satisfied with Zena.
Zena raised her eyebrows, suppressed the displeasure in her heart, and said impatiently, "Just tell me why you asked me here."
Hearing this, Josephine stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "You like James, don't you?"
Zena's heart trembled when she heard this. She immediately looked up and stared at Josephine with gloomy eyes and pursed her lips tightly.
This kind of feeling was really not good.
Josephine was totally a stranger to her, but she suddenly exposed her real thoughts, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
"Ha! Don't stare at me like that. I didn't say anything wrong." Josephine shrugged her shoulders, "Do you think I only followed you for one day? Your eyes were so strange when you looked at James and Elizabeth. Anyone smart can know what you're thinking about, but..."
After a pause, Josephine said in a slightly mocking tone, "Only Elizabeth, that fool, didn't see it. Tut-tut, she's really pitiful! As her rival in love, your jealously and hostility is so obvious, but... She can't be sillier!"
