Chapter 87


    Nancy said at once, “Hey, watch your tone.”


    “What? Am I wrong?” Cindy replied, indignant. “He’s just some lowlife who doesn’t even have a job yet! Gosh, I sure hope you


    don’t end up getting scammed by him.”


    Nancy shook her head helplessly. It seemed like Cindy was still ignorant of how powerful Wilbur was from the way she spoke of him.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    “Him? Scamming me? That’s impossible. You don’t know what you’re talking about,” was all Nancy could say.


    Cindy, however, took a seat right next to Nancy. “I heard that you’re now the general manager at Willow Corp?”


    “Uh, I’m just the general manager of one of the departments there.”


    Cindy chuckled. “That’s all I need to know, You’re a manager now, and that idiot Wilbur doesn’t even have a job! He’s using your rtionship as an ex-ssmate to cheat you into a rtionship. Isn’t that obvious?”


    Nancy was dumbstruck. She did not understand just how Cindy’s brain worked to think so poorly of someone.


    A momentter, Nancy shook her head. “You’re overthinking things. I asked Wilbur out myself.”


    “What?” It was Cindy’s turn to be shocked now, as she shouted, “You’re paying for that loser? What’s so great about him, anyways?


    Nancy felt like her head was going to explode. “We’re just having lunch. Could you please not make it sound like that?”


    *Just having lunch?” Cindy rolled her eyes. “Like hell I’m going to believe you! I’m telling you, we’re in our prime right now. It’s


    important to choose the right partner. The rest of your life is at stake here! You’re going to have a hard time in your fifties if you


    end up with someone like Wilbur.”


    Nancy did not know what to say. She gave it some thought and finally decided to reveal a little information to Cindy.


    She wanted Cindy to know that Wilbur was nothing like what he used to be and was far from the loser she was calling him. That


    was to avoid a confrontation when Wilbur got here.


    Nancy said, “Cindy, do you remember when Wilbur got us out of trouble at thatst gathering?”


    “Oh my gosh, you brought it up.” Cindy scoffed, unimpressed.


    “He didn’t do sh*t. It was Edward who had to call his dad and take care of that Torrent guy just so Wilbur didn’t get beaten up. I wasn’t even going to talk about it, but you just had to bring it up.”


    Nancy widened her eyes. She had seen for herself that Wilbur scared Will Torrent into a quivering mess -just on his own, and Wilbur was even given a card with unlimited spending. Why did Cindy make it sound like Edward had saved the day?


    “Is that what Edward told you?” Nancy said, confused.


    Cindy smiled haughtily. “Of course. Edward called his dad in front of me on the way home. He couldn’t have lied!”


    Nancy was silent. It was clear that Cindy had been lied to.


    Yet Nancy did not want to expose the truth and put Cindy in a bad light.


    She nced at the foreign man next to Cindy, trying to change the subject. “Who’s this, then.”


    “Ugh,” Cindy scoffed. “That idiot Edward was only good for his looks, so I dumped him. This is my new boyfriend, Ricardo


    Licorica. He’s the CEO of the Dasha branch of the Waller Street International


    Investment Group. He’s here to start a new branch.”


    Nancy was at a loss for words. Cindy really was quick in switching up her boyfriends.


    A secondter, she made up her mind to reveal what had really happened that day.


    Yet before she could speak, Wilbur’s voice cut through the air, “What’s Miss Prom Queen doing here?”


    Nancy turned and saw Wilbur smiling as he walked up to her table.


    Nancy hurried to say. “Wilbur! We just bumped into each other here. Cindy came with her friend. We didn’t n this.”


    “Ah, I see.” Wilbur nced at the foreign man.


    Nancy hurried to get Wilbur to sit down, then shot a look at Cindy.
