A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

The woman smiled brightly, showing her lovely dimples. She said,"Hello! I'm Nora Mo. David and Rita are my friends."

The way Nora was speaking, she seemed too close with David. But he didn't avoid or stop her. It seemed that David was already used to it.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Emily Bai." She nodded as Emily introduced herself. Emily turned to Rita and noticed her facial expression was a little impatient. Hence, Emily immediately said,"Come in please."

As a woman, Emily's intuition told her that their relationship must have been a little difficult to analyze.

"Rita, let me help you." Nora said with enthusiasm as she went toward Rita. She reached out and extended her hands to show sincerity. But Rita just ignored Nora's hand.

"No thanks! But I think I don't need your help." Rita didn't even look at her, answering Nora in an unkind manner.

Nora was embarrassed at Rita's reaction. She didn't know how to respond. She pressed her lips and there was an upset and injustice expression flashed across her face. With a soft and lowly voice, she said "I just wanted to help you. I just...".

David who was watching them silently, suddenly spoke. "Rita, what kind of attitude is that?! You are being rude with Nora!".

"Well, you know the reason, right?". Rita sneered. Before today, no matter what she said or do to him, David wouldn't get annoyed. But this time, unexpectedly, when she was rude to Nora, he immediately came to her rescue.

"You..."

"Okay the auction was about to start. Let's come inside now." Without hesitation, Emily stopped them immediately. She instantly took Rita inside and whispered,"What's going on there?". Are you alright?"

"Yes, I'm fine."? With a grimly smile, Rita answered,"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing."

Nora managed to have a hold of David and was able to stay by his side. And to make things worse, Nora was the woman David cherished so much for so many years, but they didn't end up being together. It could lead to a conclusion that Nora was part of the reason of their divorce.
