    Vera transferred the money on her phone and said, “Given the damage to your car, transferring you


    ten thousand dors should be enough to cover the repairs. If it’s not enough, just let me know.”


    Then she stepped out of the car. “Were you here eating by yourself?”


    Vera looked into Skr’s car, scanning for Joe, but didn’t see him.


    Skr simply epted the money transfer. “If there’s any issue with my car, I’ll contact you. I’m


    leaving now,” she said as she opened the door and got in.


    The location wasn’t ideal for lingering around. They were still blocking the exit from the parking lot.


    Besides, Skr didn’t have much to say to Vera anyway. Their rtionship had always been


    distant.


    Vera frowned as Skr got into the car without responding further. A sense of frustration red up.


    She thought, “What kind of attitude was that? Did she not even hear me?”


    She got back into her car, her irritation growing. She quickly stomped the gas and followed Skr


    out of the lot.


    Skr drove for a while, making a few turns. As she waited at a traffic light at an intersection, Skr


    nced in her rearview mirror and spotted a familiar car.


    It was the same one that had rear–ended her earlier–Vera’s. She wondered if Vera had been


    following her this whole time or if it was just a coincidence.


    After crossing the light, Skr noticed Vera was still right behind her.

    Skr passed two more streets before deciding to pull over. Vera followed and parked behind her.


    She exited the car and walked toward Skr’s window, signaling her to step out. Skr got out of


    the car as well.


    “You’ve been following me for a while now. Care to exin why?” Skr asked directly.


    Vera’s actions and attitude were starting to get on her nerves.


    Vera was momentarily stunned by Skr’s direct question. She hadn’t really nned to follow


    Skr. It had just been a spur–of–the–moment decision driven by frustration. As Skr confronted


    her, she found herself at a loss for words.


    “I… I just wanted you to call the car dealership. See how much it would cost to fix the damage from


    the ident,” Vera finally said, grasping at an excuse.


    Skr scoffed and said, “Didn’t you just transfer ten thousand dors to me? You said I could


    contact youter if it weren’t enough.


    “I’ll take the car in for repairs this weekend. Once I have the exact cost, I’ll send you the receipt. I


    won’t take advantage of you.”


    Vera’s brow furrowed with irritation at Skr’s dismissive tone. “What’s with your attitude? Is this


    about the photo I sent you of Joe and me at the reunion? Are you really so jealous that you’re still


    mad?


    “You need to reflect on yourself instead of being jealous of me. My rtionship with Joe isn’t


    something that disappears just because you’re jealous.”


    Skr’s expression barely changed. “Jealous? Of you and Joe? If you have time to throw


    usations at me, maybe you should use it to spend more time with him. Go ahead, relive your


    memories, build up whatever connection you think you have–I’m not stopping you.

    “But do you even know what you’re doing right now? You’re acting like a secret mistress, hiding in


    the shadows. If you can manage to get Joe to divorce me, I might think more highly of you.


    Otherwise, I don’t care who you are in the Ruell family. It has nothing to do with me.”


    Skr couldn’t make sense of Vera’s thought process, especially how she seemed to bring Joe into


    every conversation. Her patience, already thin, was nowpletely worn out.


    Upon hearing Skr’s words, Vera’s face flushed with anger. She asked, “Skr, do you even


    realize what you’re saying?”


    She couldn’t believe Skr had called her a secret mistress. She wondered who the real secret


    mistress actually was.


    Everyone believed she was Joe’s perfect match. Their families werepatible, and they had been


    close for years. But Skr came from an ordinary background.


    Skr pulled open her car door and got into the car. Then she rolled down the window to give Vera


    onest look and said, “I know exactly what I’m saying. Ms. Ruell, next time you see me, feel free to


    take


    another route. Stop following me around.”


    With that, she hit the gas and sped off.


    Vera stood there, too furious to even react at first. She stomped her foot, rage boiling over.


    “Skr.”

    She wondered who gave Skr the nerve to speak to her like that. She dared to act so high and


    mighty and even called her a mistress.


    One day, Joe would see Skr’s true colors, and then she would be the one left in the dust–the real


    mistress.
