Chapter 190
Barclay’s sudden appearance shattered Alfie’s “fantasy.”
Of course, it also dealt a heavy blow to Emma and Thalia
Initially, Cynthia wasn’t pleased with Alfie’s insistence on staying, but she thought Moira was just showing off, and it wouldn’t hurt to stick around to see the joke.
But in just a few minutes, Barclay appeared!
Their thoughts were different, but Juliet felt quite pleased with herself.
She was about to make a sarcastic remark when a young man in a suit, holding an umbrella, looked towards her and said, “Hello, are you Miss Juliet Wells, a friend of Mrs. Covington?”
Juliet was taken aback, looking at the man in front of her. She hesitated for two seconds before nodding. “Yes, that’s me. What’s the matter?”
Linden said, “I’m Mr. Covington’s secretary, Linden Dittman. Mr. Covington asked me to come and take you home. It’s pouring rain, and it’s not easy to get a cab.”
Linden’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was loud enough for Emma and Thalia’s group to hear clearly.
Upon hearing this, Juliet looked even more pleased, directly addressing Emma, “Since it’s raining so heavily, I’ll leave first. You can wait here for someone to pick you up!”
Juliet said, glancing at Linden. “Mr. Dittman, let’s go!”
Aher taking a few steps, Juliet stopped again, turned back to Emma, and said, “Since Mr. Guzman is so close to Ms. Weaver, why didn’t he send someone to escort you home?”
She added, “Oh, I forgot. Some people’s affection needs to be displayed. However, some affection is different. It doesn’t need to be shown. Everyone knows they are in love.”
Moira was absent, but Juliet played along, looking at Linden. “Right, Mr. Dittman?”
She gestured to him, hoping that Barclay’s secretary would understand the situation.
Linden smiled and said, “Ms. Wells, you’re right, just like Mr. and Mrs. Covington.”
Juliet almost couldn’t resist giving Linden a big thumbs up but restrained herself in front of Thalia’s group.
Finally, she mocked Emma and glanced at Thalla for two seconds.
She said, “Bye, Ms. Weaver, Ms. Oliver. Since Mr. Covington’s secretary is here, I don’t want to delay him.”
Juliet waved her hand and left with Linden, feeling satisfied.
Juliet’s remarks contained too much information, and the onlookers instantly understood what was going on.
Thalla, in particular, was infuriated by Juliet.
Emma’s expression wasn’t much better. Jullet’s words stung her.
The four of them were two pairs of besties.
Chapter 190
Moira’s best friend had a secretary to pick her up, but Alfie didn’t even look at Thalia’s best friend.
Some things only hurt when compared. Although Emma tried her best to convince herself that the situation was different, she was still dissatisfied with Alfie. She was also a little unhappy with Thalia.
“Mr. Guzman, Ms. Jimenez has been picked up by her husband. Aren’t you leaving? Do you think she’ll come back to you?” Emma’s words had a double meaning. Alfie’s face turned pale.
Thalia frowned. “Emmal”
Emma snorted, turned her head away, and ignored Thalia.
Thalia felt uneasy, but with so many people around, she had to bear it. “Alfie, let’s go back.”
Alfie nodded and left with the umbrella, ignoring, Thalia.
Thalia had to catch up and grab his arm, reluctantly sheltering herself under the umbrella.
“Just now, I thought the first guy was handsome, but after seeing the second guy, I suddenly felt the first one was just average!”
“And look at this pair. The man is holding the umbrella but completely ignoring the woman. The woman must be getting soaked, right? The couple just now was so sweet. She rushed into her boyfriend’s arms! And the man tilted the umbrella completely towards the woman’s side! even took a videot”
Coincidentally, these words reached Thalia’s ears. She stiffened, her face turning cold.
