"There's one thing that I haven't been able to figure out..."

As darkness fell outside, F City was lit up by colorful lights, and the commercial streets bustled with people and activities.

In the second floor of a high-end coffee shop, a woman sitting near the glass wall looked outside the window in a daze.

"Barbara, I'm talking to you.What are you thinking?"

Erica in the opposite seat raised her voice.

It was not until then did Barbara regain her senses and respond with a smile, "What is it?"

Raising her eyebrows, Erica looked at her.She lit a cigarette casually and took a puff.

"Barbara, are you used to wearing such a fake smile?" Erica blurted out.

"It's a professional habit," said Barbara with a nonchalant shrug.

Erica didn't say much about it either.It wasn't easy for Barbara to work in IP&G Group.

"By the way, Barbara, the party at the Fisher Family begins.Why don't you go?"

Barbara didn't seem to care much about it.She took a sip of the coffee on the table and said casually, "There's no need to go."

"You're part of the Fishers, Barbara.People say you're a tough woman, but I know you grow up without parents.You're eager to have a family.Knock it off" Erica married Chandler after she graduated from college.

Like Christina, she was outspoken and had few work experiences.

Sometimes she would compare herself to Christina, but she was frustrated to find herself overshadowed by her.

"Well, get married as soon as possible.Enjoy a relationship so that you won't be immersed in work, and..."

Erica paused and looked at Barbara with suspicion.
