A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Essie was slightly taken aback upon seeing Leila. She nodded politely to her and was about to go on her way when the other woman shot out a hand to detain her. Leila said, "I heard what you said just now."

Essie faced her. "Leila, don't you think it's beneath your dignity to eavesdrop on others' conversation?"

"I just want to know if your boyfriend whom she was referring to was Zac." Leila was not the sort of person to beat around the bush, so she directly confronted Essie.

Leila's words made Essie's insides quiver like a plucked string. As expected, people in love were so sensitive that they did not need any names mentioned to easily guess the relationship between them. If she said yes, would that ice guy be angry and blame her for causing a misunderstanding and sabotaging his relationship with Leila? They had been apart for too long, and it was not easy for them to reunite. He definitely wanted to maintain their relationship. Essie, as the unnecessary burden, shouldn't make trouble between them.

Unbidden, jealousy burned its way from her heart up her throat. She swallowed convulsively and silently tried to calm herself down, "Miss Leila, you're thinking too much. If my boyfriend were Zac, do you think you would be happy staying next to him?"

After hearing this, Leila pursed her lips and thought, 'Love is selfish, after all. No one would be able to tolerate their lover being with someone else.'

"That's good. I don't want anyone to interfere between Zac and me. Please tell your friend to stop dreaming. Zac is definitely not interested in her."

With a faint smile on her face, Essie replied, "Everyone has the right to pursue love. Maybe you and she can compete fair and square. Let's see who will win in the end."

With eyebrows angrily arched, Leila said with a malicious gleam in her eyes, "You are shameless, after all, flirting with two men and getting involved in other people's relationships. If Zac knew that you're such a hypocritical bitch, he would definitely kick you out of the house."
