Florrie didn't dare to drive until she got the green light from Daniela. In a nicer term, she was Daniela's friend. But to put it bluntly, she was Daniela's lackey.
Back in school, she did some pretty underhanded stuff just to get into Daniela's squad. And it was even more so in the real world. Almost every dirty deed Daniela did, she was part of it. Because she was not afraid of hard work or suffering, Daniela trusted her big time.
That was how she got the golden ticket into Daniela's clique. And that was how she got the chance to date Daniela's brother.
She thought that once she was with Daniela's brother, she'd be living the high life, with no more worries about making ends meet. But when she got a taste of the high society life, she realized it was not as easy as she thought.
She found that the world of the rich and famous was like an ocean, and as an ordinary person, she couldn't get a piece of the pie. Instead, they would just suck her dry and then drop her like a hot potato.
It was not just her. There were many girls like her who'd been through the same thing. They hoped they could change their fate by mingling with the rich, but in the end, they ended up with nothing, some even lost their lives.
However, in their social circle, Steven, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, seemed to be different towards Hannah. No one dared to mess with Hannah when he was around.
Remember two years ago when Steven took Hannah to his grandpa's birthday party? Someone made a few rude remarks about Hannah. It wasn't exactly an insult, more like a joke.
Hannah was there, Steven probably wanted to protect her dignity, so he didn't make a big scene, and the guy who made the remarks didn't realize how serious his words were.
The next day, Steven personally sought out the guy and gave him a serious dressing down. That was when the guy realized he messed with the wrong person. People started to realize that maybe Steven saw Hannah, who came from an ordinary family, as something special. Maybe Steven really wanted to marry her.
It was not like he wanted to use her to rebel against his family's arranged marriage, or just for a fling. Maybe Daniela's obsession with Steven was because of this.
Florrie didn't dare to ask if that was really the case. All in all, if she still wanted to live off Daniela, to live off the Salazar family, she needed to keep her guard up, mind her own business, and keep her mouth shut when necessary.
Soon, she left the parking lot in her car. She saw the young couple in the rearview mirror. Despite the distance, she could still sense the smile on the guy's face when he looked at the girl.
Why was he so happy looking at her? She didn't know. But she hoped that they could resist the temptation from Daniela.
She hoped they could keep living their simple and beautiful life.
But that could be hard.
