The Author's POV

Chapter 707

"Huaaam. I'm so bored."

Monica yawned as she stretched her limbs while leaning against a plain white wall. There were a couple of other people not too far away from her, all minding their own business.

All of the people present were extremely renowned individuals. They were the special group gathered in secret outside of everyone's knowledge.

"Feeling bored already, Monica?"

An aged voice sounded, and Monica's expression changed. With a stiff smile, she looked to her side.

"Ha… D-Douglas? Fancy seeing you here?"

"Fancy seeing me here? Shouldn't you already be aware that I was going to be here?"

"Oh.. ah, right."

Monica smacked her fist and stuck her tongue out.

"Seems like I'm getting older. My memory is giving away."

"Your brain is the only thing that's giving away."

Another voice interjected.

This time around, Monica reacted in a manner that was entirely different. She whirled around and glared in the direction of the source of the voice as if she were staring at her worst enemy.

"Old witch, what are you on about?"

"Old witch?"

The voice was taken aback for a moment. But before long, Donna had worked herself up into a rage and was staring angrily at Monica. If there was one thing that she detested more than anything else, it was when other people brought up her age.

"Don't tell me you're still angry at me for what happened a week ago?"

"I'm glad you know."

Monica grumbled while still glaring at Donna.

With a bitter smile, Douglas looked at Donna and mouthed.

"What did you do?"

"Nothing, really." Donna looked back at him and murmured. "I just told her that even if she wore high heels, she'd still be the smallest person attending, so there'd be no point in buying them."

"Bitch!"

Monica shouted, glaring even more fiercely at Donna.

"So what if I'm still the shortest?! It's all about my neck! If I'm a tad bit taller, I won't have to strain my neck to talk to everyone!"

"Oh, that makes sense."

Donna found it hard to refute Monica's comment. It indeed seemed rather straining for the neck.

Looking at Monica, she apologized.

"Alright, I'm sorry. Please forgive me."

"Hmph."

Monica gave Donna a side glance. Attempting to suppress her grin, twitches appeared on her lips.
