The Wrong Woman

Candice requested a day off, followed by the weekend ahead.

She spent three consecutive days holed up in her room. She didn't want to leave her room unless it was meal times.

She felt gloomy. She spent her time sleeping, listening to music, or simply staring blankly at the scenery outside the balcony.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

Lethargically, Candice reached for her phone and glanced at it. It was her colleague, Vanessa.

"Hello, Vanessa," Candice answered on speakerphone. She lay motionless on the bed, her voice lazy and weak.

Vanessa nervously said, "Candice, let's watch a movie."

Candice wasn't interested, so she rejected easily. "No, I have to work tomorrow."

"It ends at 9:00 pm. Come on, I'll introduce you to a handsome guy," Vanessa insisted.

Candice sighed in resignation. She had heard Vanessa mention her brother too many times, so she asked, "Your brother again?" "Yeah, don't you always say you want to date? You're 22 years old and still haven't had a boyfriend. Why not take a look at my brother?" "Vanessa, we're not suitable for each other," Candice said solemnly. "I know your brother is very handsome, but we're not compatible." Their social status was incompatible, and her family would never agree to her marrying anyone who couldn't match her.
