While recording, Sarah had been on a strict diet.
She decided to take this chance to indulge a little.
Ariana didnât stop her and just murmured, âJust this once.
â
Sarah ignored her completely, her mind completely fixed on all the delicious food before her.
After everything arrived, Sarah ordered even more, and Betsy also ordered some dessert.
Shaking her head in amusement, Ariana sipped her orange juice.
âYou know that fan who came to your defense? Heâs Aziel Carrillo, the CEO of Saziel Technology.
A 25-year-old hotshot.
â
âAnd heâs very handsome!â Betsy interjected, her enthusiasm startling Sarah.
Over the previous few days, Betsy had been reading fan novels online.
She had now become their biggest shipper.
âEveryoneâs saying that you two would make a perfect couple and I think so too,â she said to Sarah excitedly.
ââAziel seems like a good man.
He would be loyal to you.
Otherwise he wouldnât have been watching you and protecting you for seven years.
â
Sarah took a gulp of beer, and put a couple of peanuts in her mouth.
âDonât judge a book by its cover,â she said indifferently.
âEven if he is a fan of mine, heâs seven years younger than me.
Not to mention Iâm divorced with a daughter.
I have been through it all and Iâve lost interest in romance.
â
âBut what if heâs the one? Give him a try.
Maybe itâll be true love,â Betsy said encouragingly.
Sarah clicked her tongue and patted Betsy gently on the head.
âLittle girl, what do you know about love? Passion fades with time and you get left with nothing but all the trouble to solve.

Sarah let out a sigh.
Her cheeks had become red from all the beer.
âHeâs only 25.
Heâs so young, with a promising life ahead of him.
Men like that donât fall in love easily.
Eventually heâll succumb to the temptations around him.
â With a self-deprecating smile, she said, âI donât think Aziel actually likes me.
It was probably just a publicity stunt to win his company some popularity.
â
Betsy fell quiet after hearing this.
With her head in her chin, she sighed, âMaybe youâre right.
â
âYes, thatâs my girl.
Cheers!â
Sarah clinked her glass against Betsyâs.
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Ariana with a sullen expression.
Leaning over, she pinched her cheek and asked curiously, âWhat are you so worried about? You look miserable.

After a pause, Ariana decided to get it off her chest.
âI have this good friend, who is married.
But thereâs this other woman who is very close to her husband.
The woman would even answer his phone for him.
And my friendâs husband refuses to tell her about their relationship.

âMaybe itâs a relative.
Does he have a sister?â Betsy suggested, in between bites.
âBullshit! The woman has to be his mistress,â Sarah exclaimed, pounding her empty glass on the table.
âA phone holds private information.
A man wouldnât hand his phone over to just any woman.
She must be very good at this.
â
âMen are all the same! Your friend needs to see his true colors.
â Betsy sounded bitter.
âYeah! Totally agree.
Guys are the worst.
Divorce is the only way.
â With that, Sarah refilled her glass and downed it in one go.
âLook at me.
Iâm divorced and free.
I can do whatever I want and Iâm so happy.
â
Ariana hesitated.
âMy friend is also pregnant.
Do you think she should get an abortion?â
Betsy thought about it calmly.
âIf sheâs planning to get a divorce, she shouldnât keep the baby.
Itâs hard to raise a child as a single mother.
