"Alice, you must trust my reputation in my home. If Greg dares not listen to me, he gets to kneel on durian peel." Violet told Alice in a serious voice, while shifting her eyes to Greg to see his reaction.
A?confident smile spread across Greg's face after he heard Violet's words. He knew that even if the so-called domestic discipline was made and executed by Violet, she would still favor him at home. So he just smiled and kept silent.
"Great! That's a good idea. Men should be punished this way! Better if the durian is pushed up their crotch!" Alice's tone was full of praise for Violet's idea.
"Alice, now I get why you are single! It turns out that you always think of how to punish men. You are too strong and men would be intimidated by you." Greg shrugged his shoulder and teased Alice. He then pretended to turn his head aside to avoid eye contact with her.
"Greg, you..." ?Alice's temper?again flared?and she fiercely?stared?at Greg.
Sensing the tense atmosphere, Violet immediately stood up and walked beside Greg and sat down. Curling her hands up under her chin, she winked at Greg and in a flirtatious voice, said,"Honey, since you care about Alice's love life so much, why don 't you introduce one of your buddies to her?"
"Well, this..." Greg hesitated for a second, not knowing how to reply. The only person he could think of was Tim, but he knew what kind of a person he was! He wouldn't dare introduce such a playboy to Alice. If Alice knew of Tim's romantic affairs, she would kill him!
"What? You don't want to do a favor for my best friend?" questioned Violet. She pulled back, looking a little mad at Greg who looked hesitant.
"Hey, you two stop planning my love life! I have my own plans so don't worry about me. At worst, I will go for a blind date, just as what Greg suggested to my father," Alice said indifferently. She was not in a hurry at all about finding a boyfriend. Her friends were more anxious about it than her.
"I will see whet
It all starts on that fateful night.
When Ella, who is the dear sister of Samuel’s best buddy, sneaks into the hotel where the drunken Samuel resides and gets pregnant…
"I don’t want a divorce!"
"I don’t want a divorce!"
"I did no such thing!"
Ella jumped on the bed and cried out. “I don’t want a scheming woman as my wife. Just sign the paper...
ing and sightseeing. We soaked in the fashion in the streets of Paris." This time, the happy memories with her roommate?brought?a genuine?smile?on her face.
"Violet, you know what? After one-year of specialized courses, I designed my first piece, but I was scolded sternly by my instructor. She rebuked me for that design. She said that it was just a piece of cloth without any sense of aesthetics." Alice's tone was calm, without any sadness in her voice.
"How could it be?" Violet couldn't understand why.
"Because I wanted to design a dress to cover all the scars on your body." Alice's voice sounded clearly in Violet's ears and she continued,"Perhaps, I still didn't get the essence of designing and I did not have any specialized knowledge at that time. What I made was just a long dress with long sleeves and a waistband. There was no other design element in it. That's why my instructor criticized me for it."
Violet couldn't help but be moved to tears. She realized that Alice had done too much for her and her value in Alice's heart was beyond fathomable.
"I then looked at other designs and there were various styles and materials. I suddenly realized that my design was just too common, no better than the ready-to-wear clothes that are mass produced." Alice continued, describing her life in Paris.
