"Well, okay? How about you go with me to the chef school to inquire?" Michelle asked with a hopeful expression. She was worried that she might be the dumbest student in the class. If Leena went there with her, she would feel much better.

  "I'm sorry, but I'm hustling and grinding at work recently. The Paris Fashion Week is in just a few months, and I have to design new, cutting edge clothes for that," said Leena, apologizing profusely. If it weren't for that, she would be very happy to go with Michelle.

  "Oh, it's okay. If you don't have time, then I'll go by myself," Michelle said, a little disappointed. But she knew Leena must be really busy now as she was a well-known designer. She could do nothing about it.

  "I'm really sorry," Leena apologized, as she held Michelle's arm to comfort her.

  "We'd better hurry up then. What if Patricia were so angry that her leg suddenly got healed and then she ran away from the hospital, so that she could come after us?" Michelle cracked a joke with Leena. She really couldn't get angry at her.

  "That would be a piece of good news for sure. If that happened, she wouldn't have to go through that boring rehab program. Then she should thank us," Leena joked back. They stared at each other, and then burst into a hearty laugh together.

  "Did you drive here?" Michelle asked when they arrived at the garden of the hospital. Michelle's car was not so good. She was afraid Leena might not like it.

  "Yes, I did. Just follow my car. I'll take you to a nearby supermarket," Leena said. But then she frowned at the sight of a familiar figure. 'What the hell? Oh dear god, not again! I've seen this woman so many times recently. She didn't even get recognized by her fans for once. Is it because she's not that popular yet? Or her fans

  we are not really that close yet, Miss Lu. I guess you have the same feeling as well?" Leena said with a mocking smile. Actually Leena was not an arrogant woman, who would go out of her way to make people feel bad. But she just hated being fooled by people like Dorothy. It was no longer a coincidence that she had run into Dorothy so many times already, and most recently too. Something was up with this girl, and she knew that she was not going to like it.

  "Um…… I think you are a kind person, and I really want to become friends with you." Dorothy praised Leena as if she had no idea of Leena's distaste for her. However, Dorothy's reaction convinced Leena even more that Dorothy was up to something, otherwise she would have been pissed off by now.

  "I'm glad you see me that way. I'm sorry, but we have to leave now," Leena said with a polite smile. She was in no mood to talk to Dorothy any longer. Their encounters had become really boring and meaningless.

  "Wait! I am wondering if I could invite you to dinner." Dorothy immediately stopped Leena when she was about to leave. If she missed this opportunity now, she didn't know how and when she could get close to her next time.
