A Night with Her Cruel Mate

Julia lightly chuckled, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "You always make fun of Consuela whenever she isn't around. Aren't you afraid that I'll tell her?"

"Please don't tell her," Samuel begged, feigning fear expression. "Consuela is a shrew. The last time I called her that, she chased after me for half an hour. Even though I'm a famous actor, she didn't save my face."

"Well, a famous actor," Julia mocked and took two glasses of champagne for Samuel and herself.

Samuel gave Julia a pointed look and stopped the waiter. He exchanged one glass of champagne for orange juice. Handing out the glass to her, he said, "You shouldn't drink alcohol while you're injured."

"It's just champagne..."

"No way." Samuel smirked. "You still haven't told me why you came here today."

"Oh. It's nothing." Julia laughed. "Consuela just wanted to introduce me to more people. You better stay away from me later on. Otherwise, people wouldn't want to come up to converse with me."

"All right, all right. I won't bother you," Samuel joked. "I saw an acquaintance. I'll go over and say hello. You better stay here and not wander around, okay?"

"I know. I'm not a child," Julia chortled in amusement.

After Samuel left with his glass of champagne, Julia felt bored. Walking around, she found a corner and sat down. She scanned the people around. Consuela was right, they were all acquaintances.

People got together in twos or threes, making it easier for Julia to see their distinguished groups. She felt out of place.
