I couldn't help it. I had to tease her. "Stop imagining your love life and eat up. I need to head back to work later!"
She blinked at me and sighed. "Why do you think the gap between the two of us is so big? Why do you have such a nice figure? Why can't I be like you? Why do you have to be so gorgeous? Does God make people according to His mood?"
I smiled faintly at her ranting, "You can ask God yourself. Besides, you are not bad yourself. You look good too. Especially if you doll yourself up. Don't belittle yourself."
She gestured with her chin, "Look over there. That woman, her beauty causes inferiority complexes. The beautiful girl in the red Cayenne. Those kinds of women will never have to worry about how to support themselves in life. There will be many rich people who'll want to support her."
I followed her gaze and froze. "Rowane, wasn't she in Jarold city? What is she doing here?"
"This is the most prestigious area in Asherton. Most of the people who live here are local powerhouses keeping a low profile." Naomi said and looked at Rowane. "Gorgeous women like her aren't usually locals. Judging by her temperament, she doesn't look like someone else's mistress. I guess she is buying a house here."
Her analysis was logical and I couldn't help saying, "She is the person in charge of the Roberts Group's Al project. Hendrix specifically invited her back from abroad. Money and appearances are indeed the goals of most women."
"F**k! Hendrix is surrounded by this kind of stunners? Aren't you afraid that your man will be taken away?" She wasn't eating because she kept staring at Rowane outside of the car.
It seemed that she was waiting for someone.
"If he chose to be with her, I think that my heart can take it. After all, a woman like Rowane would not fall just for any man! "
She looked at me, wide- eyed and speechless before chiding me, "You are trying to push your man away? What are you thinking?"
"The fish has been boiled too long. If you don't eat it now, it won't taste good anymore." I changed the topic.
