"I am just happy for you." Leena had a big grin on her face. Well, her best friend and her brother were finally together. Wasn''t it a huge miracle and something to really be happy about?


    Patricia rolled her eyes at her friend''s words in fake annoyance. Leena was indeed her best friend who knew her inside out. They were alike in more ways than one.


    Life was just perfect for Patricia now. She had great friends who cared much about her around, a bittersweet love she would remember for the rest of her life and a lot more to look forward to.


    "Hi, would you mind if I sit here?" In an elegant and tranquil coffee shop, Dorothy gently asked Leena in a sweet voice, looking at her with smiling eyes.


    "Oh. Hello, Miss Lu. Of course not. Please, have a seat." The corners of Leena''s lips lifted into a gentle smile. She was much more mature than she was before. She had that beautiful and elegant aura around her just sitting there.


    "Thank you." After these words, Dorothy pulled a chair and sat down in front of Leena. As usual, she had that pair of over-sized sunsses, hiding half of her face. She looked sexier than thest time they saw each other and Leena noticed it.


    "Would you like something to drink? I can order it for you." Saying this, Leena raised her hand and gestured for the waiter toe. There was a small smirk on her face. ''What is going on, that Dorothy and I keep running into each other? I can''t even have a cup of coffee alone.'' she thought to herself.


    "I will have atte. Thank you." Dorothy gratefully smiled at Leena. The smile lit up her young and beautiful face. Though she and Leena were about the same age, Leena still thought that Dorothy looked more youthful and was much more childish than her. Maybe Leena just went through too much in her life that she couldn''t help but be a grown up.


    "Miss Lu, it''s such a surprise seeing you here. Are you not busy filming? How about other projects?" Leena asked in a casual tone, taking a sip from her coffee. She was really curious why Dorothy would be here instead of working.


    "I just happen to have some time for myself, that''s all. I will start filming a big movie in a few days. I won''t be so free and easy then," Dorothy said while looking at Leena''s face. To be honest, she envied Leena for her wless skin. Leena''s skin was fair and luminous, making her shine like a doll. She hoped to get her secret of keeping such beautiful skin, one day.


    "That''s good to hear. What is the movie about? I''m sure, with you in it, it will be a blockbuster." Talking with someone you didn''t know well was definitely torture. It was boring and also awkward for Leena. Fake smiling at Dorothy and chatting with her could get exhausting. It would be easy to run out of things to talk about.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    "You can call me Dorothy, you know. No need to be so distant," Dorothy said in a friendly tone, looking at Leena with eyes full of expectation. It seemed that she really wanted to be friends with Leena.


    "Well, we are not yet that familiar. Besides, you are a big star and I''m just a nobody. How can I call you by your first name?" Leena refused in a smart and diplomatic manner. The truth was, she really didn''t want to be friends with this woman. It was not because of the rumors involving her and Kevin before, but because she gave her a very ufortable feeling. She couldn''t pinpoint what but it just did not feel right. So she didn''t feel the need to get to know her better.


    "I am ttered. But you really can call me by my name. Everybody knows that you are thedy of the Leng Group. So it would be quite an honor if I could be friends with you." Dorothy didn''t seem to be angry for getting rejected by Leena. In fact, she thought that it was normal for an upper ss girl like Leena to have a little bit of temper. So she didn''t feel surprised that Leena didn''t want to be her friend so easily. She did know that when the wealthy wanted to be friends with someone, they didn''t stop until they actually became friends. So she was taking her chances.


    "You seem to know me well. You must have done quite a thorough research on me." Leena raised one of her eyebrows and looked at Dorothy with challenging eyes. Did this woman already know that she was Kevin''s wife? It was why she intentionally approached her, wasn''t it? But why would she do that? Getting close to her didn''t make any sense. Was she a friend or still an enemy, smiling in front but stabbing her behind her back? Maybe Leena misunderstood her? Maybe she just wanted to make up to her like she said? Leena was suddenly confused, but she did not dwell on it.


    "Haha. You are wrong. I know you are thedy from the Leng Group because that''s what the media says all the time. The designer of LN FASHION is the daughter of the Leng Group. Haven''t you read about that report?" Dorothy giggled at Leena''s words, as if she had said something really funny.


    "Oh. I see. I am sorry then. It seems that I overreacted." Leena never knew of any report like that. In fact, she was in aa during that time. She barely had gotten out of danger and didn''t have time for anything else other than focusing on her recuperation. Reading news around the world as well as tabloid gossip was the least of her priorities that time.


    "That''s all right. Ipletely understand. There must be many people who approach you on purpose for your fame and money, because you are talented and from a big and rich family. That is why you are so cautious around me." Dorothy said in a genuine tone, looking like she really understood Leena''s situation. It put Leena into a slightly awkward position. It made Leena seem too paranoid and not to trust Dorothy who was being all friendly and understanding. But fortunately, Leena was not the same naive girl like before. She didn''t really mind what others thought about her. So she quickly threw it in the back of her mind, smiled at Dorothy and didn''t say a word. She didn''t want to change just because of what the young actress just said. Especially an actress that she wasn''tfortable calling by her first name.


    "I am wondering if it is possible to ask you a... quite a private question?" After an ufortable silence, Dorothy hesitantly asked Leena a question.


    "Well, if you are sure that it''s a private question, I guess it would be better if you don''t ask. There is a reason that it is called a private question," Leena said while ying with the coffee cup on the table. Originally, she wanted to have some time to herself in this quiet coffee shop and think about some things in private. But now, it seemed impossible with Dorothy at the same table, struggling to do away with the awkwardness. She should just go away.


    "Umm..." Dorothy was a bit stunned at Leena''s subtle but direct refusal. She didn''t expect that Leena would be this straightforward and she was taken aback. She just shut her mouth. Now, after Leena specifically said no, she couldn''t ask the question that had been lingering in her mind anymore.


    And right at this time, Leena''s phone suddenly rang, breaking the deafening awkward silence. She smiled at Dorothy a bit apologetically and picked up the call.00000
