One tall man and one short one stood outside. They were both wearing dark-colored suits. One was


    dragging a huge piece of luggage while the other was pushing a wheelchair. The three of them donned


    an awkward expression.


    Jasmine was wearing a long white dress, and a thin sheety on her legs. Her lustrous hair cascaded


    down her neck. Even a long journey failed to make her unkempt.

    I hadn''t seen her in many years. I subconsciouslypared her current face to the face in my memory.


    Perhaps due to the incident, she looked skinnier than she was back at school. Her facial features were


    more pronounced, her eyes were big and sparkly. Sitting in the wheelchair, she was elegant and well-


    mannered. With a smile, she greeted me casually, "Long time no see, Luna."


    She emphasized my name, which bothered me a bit.


    Ever since Colin rejected her advance in her final year at university, I had stopped seeing her on


    campus. I didn''t know where she had gone. Were it not for what had happened recently, I would''ve


    forgotten about her.


    She was my senior and two years older than me. Even though we hadn''t seen each other for years,


    she hadn''t changed a bit other than losing some weight. She still spoke with the same gentle cadence


    as she did in the past.


    For a moment-perhaps it was just a trick of the eyes-I sensed something unfamiliar behind this familiar


    face. I couldn''t quite put my finger on it, but I certainly did not like it.


    "Long time no see indeed, Jasmine," I greeted back.


    Colin shook. He finally realized that he had guests. Therefore, he came over and opened the door. He


    then invited them in apologetically, "My girlfriend needed me. Sorry for the wait. Pleasee in."


    The decently sized living room looked crammed as three individuals plus a wheelchair came into the


    picture. Andrew stretched out his limbs grouchily upying as much space as possible.


    What was he trying to achieve by taking up space? While he may be tall, he still acted like a child


    sometimes, which added to his cuteness.


    "Ms. Taylor, this is the ce I found in a rush. It''s not huge, so it can''t amodate so many people.


    Please bear with me. I''ll find another apartment for you and your colleagues soon," said Colin very


    courteously.


    "Oh, no need for the hassle, Colin. Just find me a hotel will do. I wouldn''t want to impose myself in your


    apartment," said Jasmine tenderly after she checked out her surroundings discreetly. Her eyes were


    glued to Colin as if no one else mattered in her world. She seemed to put him above herself.


    She wouldn''t want to impose herself in his apartment? What did she mean? Why did it sound so


    familiar?


    My eyelid twitched. I had expected to see Jasmine here, but to see herunch her first attack this soon


    and silently... Just how impatient was she? Her words let me know that she was here to put up a fight.


    I finally knew what was hiding behind that familiar face of hers-hypocrisy.


    I had seen many telenovs and had many first-hand experiences myself. Naturally, I could read


    between the lines and understood thetent message.


    After a few years, the easygoing woman who said, "We''re friends, right?", had turned hypocritical and


    stic. And she seemed to be more cunning than Lc.


    Lc only knew how to y the victim and stir up some small trouble. But presently, Jasmine just


    dered war on me while maintaining her cultivated facade.


    She was trying to provoke me so that I''d scowl back and make a fool of myself.


    But I was not a gullible girl anymore. She came to grab what was mine, but I was not going to let her


    achieve that.
