A Graduation Gift

This woman had managed to see Rufus every day, but Cassandra could only see him once or twice a week at the most.

She brought lunch to his office every day, but it was rare for him to eat any food that Cassandra cooked.

Cassandra remembered the promise Rufus made to her the other day when he said that she was the only woman he loved, which sounded like a joke to her now or a dark joke, dangling in front of her face and smiling at her weirdly. Cassandra felt dizzy and started to rub her forehead.

"What's wrong with you, Cassandra? Are you okay?" Stella asked as she worried about her friend's sudden change of demeanor.

She noticed something strange about Cassandra. Her face turned pale and beads of sweat formed on her forehead.

"Nothing, I'm fine. Do you, do you know the name of that woman?" Cassandra struggled through to ask.

She was almost certain who the woman was, but was unwilling to accept it. She asked anyway as she hoped that Stella could give her a different name.

When she decided to be together with Rufus, she prepared herself mentally for that. She knew that a lot of women were after him due to his standing and good looks. Cassandra understood all that.

She had made up her mind to trust Rufus and believe everything he said to her. She took his promises seriously and was confident that she would laugh at all the gossips about him.

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you! Her name is Amanda Ke, a very popular pianist who is living in G City now!" Stella snapped out.
