With her arms crossed, Yannie teased Rebecca, “So, you’ve turned into a wimp ever since you split from Jeffrey? That’s not the bold Rebecca Alexander talked about.”

“Says the famous Yannis–aren’t you nothing like your reputation either?” Rebecca shot right back.

Yannie stepped in closer and asked, “Oh? And what’s my reputation supposed to be?”

Rebecca shot back, “Wouldn’t you know better than anyone? Weren’t you the one who started most of those rumors yourself?” After all these years married to Jeffrey, Rebecca knew pretty much everyone in this circle.

Yannie paused, caught off guard by Rebecca’s reply. She asked, “Did Jeffrey tell you that?”

“Do I really need him to?” Rebecca retorted.

Yannie asked, “Am I really that easy to read?”

Rebecca replied, “Not at all. If people didn’t actually get to know you, they’d really think you’re just that spoiled, entitled heiress everyone talks about.”

Yannie asked, “Then what was the point of everything you just said?”

Rebecca said, “I just happened to see you once–you were all high and mighty, throwing water at someone, and then you turned around and had someone pay them off big time.”

If Rebecca hadn’t seen that, she’d never have realized Yannie was simply acting. It baffled her that Yannie would go to such lengths to maintain the façade, given the affection and privilege she received at home.

Yannie asked, “Who did you tell this to?”

Rebecca said, “Oh? You really care about that?”

Yannie rubbed her brow, feeling exasperated. She thought, ‘Seriously, why is it that every time I’m around her, I can’t keep a secret to save my life?‘

Rebecca said, “If you promise not to make a fuss about that incident at the party two years ago, I’ll tell you exactly who I’ve talked to. And I swear I won’t tell anyone else.”
