I planned to get up and leave after saying that.
"Stop right there!" Elena followed me and grabbed my arm.
I frowned. "Is there anything else?"
"Yes, of course.” The smile on Elena's face seemed slightly grim.
I had a bad feeling and was just about to shake off her hand when she quickly grabbed a coffee cup and splashed all the coffee in it on me.
I stood frozen on the spot, taking a long time to come back to my senses.
'Maybe you should stop thinking so highly of yourself, Wanda Lane. You're just standing beside Theo because you look like Cindy. Otherwise, Theo would really be blind to choose a worthless woman like you. Now that Cindy has appeared in front o f him, you’ll be discarded like a piece of old rag."
I was not exactly enraged by it. More than anything else, I was feeling sorry for her.
However, I must now allow her to bully me like this, or she would only take it one step further the next time.
There was a bottle of lemon water on the table, which I grabbed and poured it down from the top of Elena’s head. "You're just like a fishwife right now, Ms. Mandez. It doesn’t match your beauty and talent. If Theo sees you in this state, then I’m afraid he won't even want to speak with you next
time.
Elena's skirt was soaked through, making her look absolutely wretched.
