Then she closed the door tightly, only to be glared at by Cornelia, "You're unbearable! I'm already mortified, and you went to say hi to him!"
Abigail said, "Chill out. From the looks of him, he didn't hear our conversation. He must have just arrived."
Cornelia said, "Oh."
Abigail said, "You were so brave just now, why chickening out so soon?"
Cornelia said, "Anyone can boast."
Abigail said, "Look at you, scaredy-cat. If you want to sleep with him, just do it. He's your husband. You have the right."
Cornelia quickly covered Abigail's mouth, "Stop it, what if he hears you? How am I supposed to face him?"
Abigail said, "Alright, alright, I'll shut up. I've done your makeup. Get up and change your clothes for the date."
Cornelia said, "Is that it? Why does it look like I'm not wearing any makeup?"
Abigail said, "You're a natural beauty. You look great even without makeup, I just put some moisturizer on you. Now stop questioning me and go change your clothes."
"Okay." Cornelia turned around and took out a T-shirt and denim shorts she had bought last time.
Abigail took one look, grabbed the clothes and shoved them back into the closet, "Don't tell me you were going to wear such casual clothes for a date."
Cornelia said, "I just bought these clothes."
Abigail said, "Sit down, I'll choose for you."
Cornelia's wardrobe was sparse. Winter sets, summer sets, all practical with not a single piece superfluous. Nothing liked a girl's wardrobe.
"You should treat yourself better." Abigail looked a bit heartbroken. Cornelia earned more than her, yet was more frugal.
