The man was talkative and funny, which made Melinda feel comfortable. She couldn't stop laughing at his jokes.

Melinda didn't put on weight easily. She felt helpless most of the time. Moreover, she had a good appetite and couldn't stop eating.

The man picked all the scrumptious desserts and placed them next to Melinda's plate. Her mouth began to water at the mere sight of the dishes. Although Melinda had a good appetite, this was too much for her. She had already eaten a lot and her stomach would burst if she tried stuffing more food.

Melinda happily chatted with the man. Talking to him was easy and they seemed to get along well. They had a lot in common and Melinda felt that he had a charming personality. Her opinion of the man grew better with their conversation.

"You seem like a very interesting person." Melinda propped her chin on her palm and smiled at him.

The man was good looking, and from her conversation with him, Melinda could tell that he was mature. But he sometimes behaved like a child, which she felt was incredibly cute. He was affable, warm, and capable of striking a conversation with just about anyone.

"Are you always this ambiguous or is it just with me?" he asked, chuckling.

The man couldn't tell if Melinda was complimenting or teasing him.

Melinda smiled.

The man didn't try pushing her further. Melinda was glad to have met him, or else, the party would have been boring. As time passed, people began to leave. Melinda's eyes involuntarily searched for Queena and Yulia.

"It's nice to meet you. I think we should be friends. My name is Leo Liu."

He smiled and reached out his hands for Melinda to take.

"Melinda Mo." She clasped his slender hand and smiled.

Leo Liu looked at Melinda's beautiful hand and smiled in return. He immediately pulled out his phone and asked for Melinda's number.

Melinda hardly met good, interesting people, so she gave her number without hesitation.

Queena waved goodbye to her friends and was about to leave. Melinda immediately stood up as Queena didn't bother looking for her.

"I have to go now. Bye."

She smiled wryly and scurried to catch up with Queena. When Queena saw Melinda, she turned away and continued to walk.

The road was desolated and they were the only people to head back home. Yulia had managed to make a lot of friends and they were already getting ready for the next party.

Queena despised Melinda and was uncomfortable to be in the same car with her. But there was only one car to pick them up and Melinda sat on the passenger seat.

Melinda was lonely and depressed. She asked the driver to drop her at the garment store.
