After realizing that his dream lover was Tina, Desmond had gradually forgotten about this incident which reflected only the once-immature part of his life.
However, Abby did not know it.
Just like what the young lady said, the incident that occurred many years ago was the reason why Desmond and Wilson did not get along with each other well. Abby believed that this was true. She thought that Desmond was so depressed by what happened among Wilson, Abby, and him, that he was still seriously biased against Wilson. The indirect message conveyed by this fact was that Desmond still loved Abby, that he still missed her, that he hated Wilson because of her. This was indeed something rather enjoyable for Abby.
Now that Desmond had said that, Abby felt even more sure that he was simply trying to cover up the fact that he still loved her.
Abby smiled sweetly and gracefully. "Did you come here today because you knew I would be here?"
Desmond was taken aback for a while. Then, he shook his head. "No, you're mistaken!"
Abby smiled as she thought that Desmond was purposely trying to hide the secret that he still loved her. Just as she was about to speak again, she noticed that Desmond's eyes suddenly lit up. He walked past Abby directly and waved his hand in front of her face.
"Tina..."
A black Rolls- Royce stopped on the roadside. Its rear door was opened, and two young ladies got off the car one after another.
Today, Tina was wearing a coffee-brown westernstyle dress, which belonged to the latest costume series released by Susan's studio. Susan was wearing a suit and trousers of the same costume series, and this was indeed a masculine dressing style. When Tina and Susan walked together hand in hand, they could attract a lot of attention from others.
Desmond strode forward, and it was obvious that he was heading straight for Tina.
Then, he had been waiting for...
Abby realized that Desmond had been waiting for Tina, and her face suddenly turned pale. She could hardly maintain her demureness on the surface.
When Tina saw Desmond, she was amazed. "Desmond, how are you doing?!!"
Desmond swayed his slightly curly hair happily. "Fine. Thanks."
When Susan saw Abby, who was just two steps away from Desmond, she felt very unhappy. Then, she said, "Tina, I'll go in first and wait for you!"
Tina understood how Susan felt and nodded. "Okay!"
Susan let go of Tina's hand and walked into the hotel first.
After she got off of the car, Tina immediately saw that Desmond and Abby were chatting. Now, thinking of the relationship between Desmond and Abby, Tina looked at Desmond calmly but meaningfully.
Seeing this, Desmond was afraid that Tina might realize that he had been purposely waiting for her, and therefore he tried to hide this secret. He asked casually, "Abby, how's uncle these days?"
Abby was stunned. Then, she replied with a smile, "He is fine..."
Desmond shrugged. "Oh, really? I attended a charity auction this morning. Chairman Amery was the representative of the charitable donation, but he failed to come in the end. I heard that he might be ill!"
Upon hearing this, Tina also looked at Abby.
"Nothing serious... It's just a small problem of catching a cold. He's much better now!" Abby's expression was somewhat unnatural, while there was an air of panic in her beautiful eyes. However, she was still wearing a decent smile on her face. "My friends are waiting for me. I'll go in first!"
After finishing her words, Abby nodded slightly and left gracefully.
Desmond heaved a long sigh of relief. "She's gone!"
He actually did not enjoy meeting Abby and talking to her face to face. What's worse, Abby mentioned something which was very annoying to him.
Tina blinked her eyes. "Desmond, you don't like her now?"
"I have told you before. I don't like her anymore! I already have someone I like now..."
Tina was surprised. "Who is she?"
Desmond gazed at her, yet he did not say anything.
"My dream girl is far away but in sight..." He thought.
The corners of Desmond's lips twitched. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of something out of the corners of his eyes. A beam of bright light was reflected in his eyes.
