Chapter 99
“Something came up, so I’ll be leaving.”
Victoria could barely suppress the uneasiness in her heart and wanted to walk around Gabrielle and leave while she could still somewhat maintain her composure. Yet, it was because of her rejection that made Gabrielle misunderstand her, so she tugged Victoria’s arm and said forlornly, “My boyfriend dumped me by saying that I’m filthy. Do you also think that I’m filthy?”
“No. I’m just going out for a while,” she repeated as patiently as she could.
However, Gabrielle didn’t release her grasp as her eyes brimmed with tears. “Then, do you think that I’m very snobbish because I wanted to get to know Mr. Thatcher, Miss Spritz, and your brother through you? So, you don’t want me as your friend?”
Victoria merely stared at her, frowning slightly but didn’t say a word.
“I lost my boyfriend, and I don’t have friends anymore. I’m such a failure as a person.” Gabrielle snorted bitterly and released her in disillusionment.
Her eyes were filled with disappointment and pain, but she didn’t pester Victoria anymore, and she stepped out of the way with her head hung low.
“Just as you said, humans are all complicated. I’ve never asked my friends to be a hundred percent good to me, just as long as they don’t harm me.” Victoria swept her gaze across Gabrielle and then walked out.
Gabrielle jerked her head up, a glimmer of hope appearing in her dimmed eyes, “Victoria, am I still your friend?”
Still, Victoria didn’t answer and left after grabbing her purse and cell phone.
It was a little after 12.00PM and many pedestrians and cars were on the streets.
She stood at the entrance as she looked around and realized that she had no idea where to go, and she came out simply because she didn’t want to argue over the topic of friendship with Gabrielle anymore.
Were they considered friends? Actually, she wasn’t clear about it either.
