"Fine!" Holley had no other choice but to give in. George knew that Holley was only compelled to agree because of him. So he also tried to console her,"Whatever her reasons of coming here, I would always be with you. Let's face all the problems together."
Then he added,"I have been wanting to marry you since then. I think I should do it as soon as possible. So please, just be more patient for now. Please do it for me." George pleaded in a tender tone.
Holley sighed and said,"Fine. I'll try."
Holley ate just a little for dinner because she would go to the bar with some models of the company. George asked his driver to take Holley to the bar and then he went back to the company to deal with some matters.
On the other hand, Sheryl wasn't able to come to the bar so Sue came alone. But since Sue was Sheryl's best friend, she received an indifferent treatment from all of their colleagues. Because of that, Sue decided to just sit in one corner by herself.
When Holley greeted the models, she noticed Sue in the corner. She walked towards her and asked,"Why are you here alone?"
"Hi, Miss Ye," Sue greeted her. Sue always found Holley's behavior strange. Right now, she felt that Holley approached her because of a hidden purpose.
"Are you Sheryl's best friend?" Holley asked. She prompted the waiter and ordered two glasses of cocktail for them. Her voice sounded friendly and calm.
"Yes, I am." Sue nodded. Then she asked Holley,"Miss Ye, why did you want to know?"
Holley shrugged. "Just out of curiosity, nothing more." Holley wore a smile all the while. "Since you're Sheryl's best friend, you definitely know many things about her, right?"
"Yes," Sue answered in puzzlement. She couldn't help but frown. She sensed that Holley was interested in Sheryl so she said,"What do you want to ask me? Just go ahead."
"Nothing really important, actually," Holley answered. The smile never escaped her beautiful face. Then she continued,"I'm just worried about Sheryl. As a single mother, why didn't she marry someone?"
"She has a boyfrien
the heart to tear them apart.
However, Holley's prodding seemed to lead Sue to a realization. She suddenly realized that her feelings for Anthony had never changed even though she had just kept it hiding inside her heart for many years.
Her heart seemed to have awaken and she couldn't keep the feelings hidden anymore.
"I was just kidding. Don't take it serious." Holley pretended to take her words back. But she also added,"Personally, I still think that man with a kid is more suited to Sheryl. After all, if they could be together, you will have the chance to be with Anthony."
"Miss Ye!" Sue urged her to stop. She didn't want to talk about this further with Holley so she said with finality in her voice,"Anthony is Sheryl's boyfriend and I would never come between them whether they break up or not."
She cast a cold glimpse at Holley first before she added,"Please never say those unbefitting words again."
"Okay, I won't say them again," Holley promised. "Let's have a drink now."
Holley secretly smiled maliciously. She felt victorious that her little tricks worked. Now, she could be certain that Sue really loved Anthony. If not, she would have just told Holley straight.
But Sue didn't. She just kept on defending Sheryl and Anthony in front of Holley. She only stressed the importance of her friendship with Sheryl that she couldn't betray her.
