Chapter 602: Marriage scares me

[Crimson Bar]

"You are... Nina?" Grace leaned over, cupping her face, her eyes on the meek Nina seated beside her.

Nina pressed her lips together and glanced at her. "You must be Grace."

"Penny told me about you."

"She talks about you as if I've known you well," Nina smiled. "She told me about you?"

"Just like what you said," Grace smirked. "She talks about you as if I also know you."

"Well... it's nice to finally meet!"

"The feeling is mutual." Grace winked at Nina, making both of them smile. Grace then pulled away, glancing at the private room Penny had booked for all of them to meet. "So Penny only has two friends?"

"Yuri will come." Nina smacked her lips, smiling at Grace as the latter looked back. "She just had a few things to do, but she will come. Exams week is hectic... is what she said."

"I thought exam week is the most relaxed time for teachers."

"Not sure." Nina shrugged. "I think Penny also invited Ginnie and Lily. They're her best friends."

"Ahh... those two, huh?"

"You know them?"

"I've heard about Ginnie and I've already met Lily." Grace grinned. "She's a client of mine."

"Oh."

"Oh, well. This will be fun." Grace leaned back and enjoyed her drink, but she couldn't help glancing at the door and then at Nina from time to time.

Nina hadn't touched her drink and only looked at it as if she didn't plan to even touch the glass. Grace observed her for a while, as she had heard many things- good things about her.
