A Graduation Gift

"Cassandra, are you still keeping in touch with Rufus?"

Stella suddenly asked. The tone of Cassandra's voice baffled her, so she got a little bit worried.

That question seemed to have pulled Cassandra back into reality. Looking at her dearest friends, she thought that there was nothing to hide from them.

"Yes, I actually am. Rufus told me that, for a while now, Amanda has been so depressed and emotionally unstable. And because of her condition, he had been backed into a corner and had no choice but to get engaged to her to keep her in check..."

Before Cassandra could finish what she was trying to say, Stella abruptly slammed her hand onto the table and stood up.

"Cassandra, you've always been such a smart woman. How could you easily fall for his sweet lies so easily? The persons involved would find it hard to see the bigger picture, but from someone who doesn't really have anything to do with it, it seems to me that Rufus just wants to fool around with both you and Amanda at the same time. And you're actually dumb enough to believe him. This is getting on my nerves!"

Stella yelled out of anger, with her face burning with intense rage. Since she had been frank with Cassandra, it was plain as day that she didn't like Rufus. And now, the thought of Rufus playing with Cassandra's emotions was driving her insane.

"Cassandra, you would always think rationally when you're working, but how could you be so ignorant when it comes to your relationships?"

With her brows deeply furrowed, Lyndsy had the same opinion as Stella. She believed that Rufus was a man who should not be trusted.
