All Too Late

Samuel brought Kathleen out to eat.

By pure coincidence, they encountered Michelle Yoeger.

She was the second daughter of the Yoeger family.

Michelle and Kathleen hardly crossed paths in life.

However, Michelle disliked Nicolette too.

Therefore, when Kathleen got up to go to the restroom, Michelle left her table and stopped Kathleen before the latter could enter it.

That made Kathleen frown. She asked, “Is there something wrong, Ms. Yoeger?”

“Isn’t it obvious? Why else would I look for you?” Michelle brushed her hair and said, “I mean, you are a stunner. Why couldn’t you handle your man?”

Kathleen was at a loss for words.

Michelle sized up Kathleen and said, “What’s more, you look identical to Nicolette. There’s no way he didn’t catch any feelings for you at all.”

“Ms. Yoeger, I hope you won’t bother me regarding Samuel and Nicolette.” Kathleen pursed her lips and continued, “It’s none of my business.”

“How is that none of your business?” Michelle panicked. “She’s trying to snatch away your husband. He’s your husband, right? Don’t act like a bystander. Or else I seem to be more worried for you than yourself.”

“Ms. Yoeger, there’s nothing I can do about it,” Kathleen said soberly. “Therefore, please stop looking for me over this matter.”

“Why don’t you ask for my help?” Michelle looked at Kathleen intently. “I know just the way to handle a man. Should I teach you the know-how?”

“I heard you just broke up with your boyfriend last month, Ms. Yoeger.” Kathleen pursed her lips. “Ever since you started dating, all of your relationships don’t last over two months. Some guys even dated you because of your affluent background. But they all broke up with you after a few days because they couldn’t stand you.”

This time, Michelle was at a loss for words.

“How did you know that? You investigated me?” Michelle was stunned. “Are you interested in me?”

She was terrified and hugged herself.

Kathleen sighed. “No. You are too famous. I’ve heard about it from others.”

“Hehe! So I am this famous?” Michelle acted shyly all of a sudden. “To tell you the truth, I’m preparing to make a debut lately.”

Once again, Kathleen was rendered speechless.

She couldn’t believe Michelle didn’t get what she really meant.

“Oh, we’re going off-topic.” Michelle furrowed her brows and continued, “Anyway, don’t let that little bitch, Nicolette, get what she wants. Got it?”

Kathleen kept quiet, not knowing how to respond.

“Do you understand what I just said?” Michelle put one of her hands on Kathleen’s shoulder. “Reach out to me if you need help from the Yoeger family. Here, this is my phone number.”

Michelle stuffed a tiny note into Kathleen’s pocket with her other hand. Then, she turned and left.
