Chapter 192:

“What does their engagement have to do with me?” Phoebe suddenly snapped, her tone sharp with anger.

Realizing she had reacted too strongly, she added, “You can’t even handle your own problems, yet you find time to meddle in my life?”

Eileen walked around her desk, fiddling with a potted plant before slipping something into her bag.

“This issue really ruins the vibe of the holiday. Want to go out for drinks now?”

Thinking Eileen was upset about the situation at the education center, Phoebe grabbed her coat and headed for the door. “Let’s go.”

Though Eileen had been in Wist Land for a year, she still wasn’t as familiar with the city as Phoebe.

They hopped into a cab to an address Phoebe provided, and about half an hour later, they arrived at a bustling street food stall.

With Christmas approaching, the place was crowded, but Phoebe knew the owner, who quickly set up a small table for them.

Soon, they were served various grilled seafood dishes and beer. They began their meal in silence.

Eileen drank moderately, while Phoebe quickly became tipsy.

Soon, Phoebe started to complain, “Jacob is nothing! He’s just a coward, totally under his dad’s thumb!”

“You’re right,” Eileen agreed.

“He thinks I don’t understand him. He says he’s mad because I embarrassed him by running away. But I know the truth; he actually likes me. Why can’t he just admit it?” Phoebe said. She was straightforward; after Jacob had arrived in Wist Land, she had even proposed they be together, but he had refused her.

Thinking of that made Phoebe even more upset.

She began drinking heavily, and seeing this, Eileen texted Raymond to give him their location. Handling a tipsy Phoebe was too much for her alone.

Twenty minutes later, Raymond showed up. By that time, Phoebe’s emotional turmoil had reached its peak but was beginning to subside.

Just as they were preparing to pay the bill and leave, Phoebe received a message from Megan.

Phoebe and Megan had barely communicated since becoming contacts on WhatsApp. Since Phoebe had left the Burton family, Megan had never reached out to her.

“I wasn’t planning to tell you this, but for old times’ sake, I’m inviting you to my engagement party with Jacob,” Megan wrote.

“Oh, I forgot you’re not in Onaland now. It’s a bit late to tell you this. But even if you were here, you probably wouldn’t dare show up. After all, Jacob and I are way out of your league.”
