Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 33 Worry

“Just say it. Why are you staring at me?” Roxanne’s intent gaze crept Rayna out. The latter could not stand it and slapped her. “We’ve arrived.”

Roxanne pouted angrily and snapped, “Stop hitting me!”

If she continues, I’d be beaten silly.

Rayna wanted to buy some clothes for Linda. When they visited a shop, Roxanne offered to choose for Linda and even fought to pay for it. That was very uncharacteristic of Roxanne as she was one who usually complained of feeling tired when shopping.

“I’ll get it, Rayna. I have money!”

After that, they went to the underground supermarket to get groceries before heading to Linda’s house.

Linda still lived in the old residential area where she had brought the siblings up. It took them about an hour to get there from the city center. Rayna had always wanted Linda to move to another place, but the latter refused, insisting that she liked her current neighborhood.

When they got home, Linda started cooking in the kitchen, whereas Roxanne and Rayna chatted while watching television. A few minutes into their conversation, Roxanne showed her true colors. “Are you free this Saturday night, Rayna?”

“I knew it! You must have an ulterior motive for being nice to me today.” Rayna tossed a pillow at her sister and grinned. “Spill! Why did you ask?”

Roxanne inched closer and began to coax her, “There’s a cocktail reception at Dame Estate on Saturday night. Many famous directors from abroad will be there. Why don’t you come with me?”

Rayna rejected right away, “Nope. I’m not interested.”

Usually, she never liked those events. She would only attend such events only if her job required her to be present.

“Rayna, my sweet Rayna…” Roxanne showed her puppy dog eyes. “A director I admire will be going, and he’s searching for Chanaeans to star in his new movie. I want to have a chat with him. Who knows I might get an acting role successfully! However, you know I’m not good at speaking Anglandurn. Therefore, I was hoping that you could be my temporary translator.”

Rayna cast a disappointing glance at her. “Your sister is a translator, but you are terrible in Anglandurn. How embarrassing is that? Even primary school children speak better Anglandurn than you.”

“Oh well, we all have different interests. Your calling is to be a translator, whereas mine is to act.” Roxanne twisted the context skillfully. “You’re probably worse than me if you were to become an actress.”

Her remark rendered Rayna speechless.

Roxanne kept persuading Rayna, and the latter said yes in the end. How can I not lend a hand when my biological sister is trying to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry?

“You’re the best, Rayna!” Roxanne hugged and kissed her repeatedly. She even took a selfie with her sister out of excitement. Rayna could not stand her antics and pushed her away.

Soon, Linda finished cooking and invited the sisters to the table. Just when Rayna was getting up, the phone screen lit up, and she accidentally saw an incoming message from a person named “Brother-in-law”.
