“That’s right. And people will probably call you a homewrecker, the other woman.

Maricela smiled and shook her head. “There’s nothing I can do. Cedrick and I have known each other since we had nothing. Even if the whole world condemns me, I’ll do anything as long as it’s for his sake. I don’t care what people say about me, I just want Cedrick to be happy.”
“Maricela, you’re so selfless.”
“Yes, it’s so moving. Cedrick is so lucky to have you.”
Zoe was furious. She said to Lucille, “Lucille, they’re bad–mouthing you like that. Are you just going to take it?”
Lucille smiled and shook her head. “No rush.”
No rush. Soon enough, we’ll see if this is really such a blessing for Cedrick.
“Hey, Maricela, what’s Rossi really like?
We’ve been hearing all these legends about him lately. They make him sound like he’s one in a million.”
“Uhm…” Maricela hesitated for a second, but then quickly launched in, “He’s hot!
Very, very hot!
No doubt about it.
And, it’s that classic aristocratic style. The moment he walks out, he has this unique presence, like a Magraican royal prince. No, even a prince doesn’t have his refined features, his tall figure, his noble air… and, you know, that full head of hair…”
The group of girls burst out laughing, and then one of them sighed, “Oh my god, I’d probably faint if I saw him then.”
“You would!”
Maricela continued, “Back at our school, there were screams wherever he went. I don’t know how many girls fell for him, but he never paid them any attention. He was very cold and distant.”

“Oh my god!
I can’t control my racing heart anymore. How much longer until he comes out?
The party’s about to start, right?”
“Maricela, please, Maricela, introduce him to me later, okay?

I just want to add him on WhatsApp, that’s all. I promise I won’t bother him. Just looking at his profile picture every day would be enough.”
“Well…” Maricela hesitated. “You know how he is, always so cold and distant. He doesn’t just add anyone on WhatsApp. He barely even talks to people…”
The girl was extremely disappointed. “That’s true…”
Another girl had a sudden thought. “Maricela, so many girls were after him and he ignored them all, but he was close with you. Does that mean…”
“Yeah, be honest, did he have a crush on you?”
“Well…” Maricela said, trailing off suggestively. “There was definitely something like that back then… But you know, I wanted to come back home, and his focus was in Magraica, so… Actually, he sent me a lot of emails afterward, but I never replied. There’s no point in leading someone on if it’s not going anywhere.”
“Oh my god, I heard Leo is still single. It couldn’t be because he can’t get over you, could it?”
“Oh my god, this unrequited love, staying single forever kind of thing… I’ve only ever seen that in DaisyNovel.”
It was unbearable.
Someone let out a laugh.
Robert.
The reason Robert laughed wasn’t because of what Maricela said, but because his sister was teasing him.
Every time Maricela said something, his sister would mouth the words back at him. When she got to that part, he really couldn’t hold it in anymore and laughed out loud.
When he laughed, Zoe laughed along with him, while Lucille wore a faint, unreadable smile.
Maricela felt completely humiliated, then zeroed in on the culprit, Robert, and snapped at him

coldly, “What’s so funny?”
A good–for–nothing has the nerve to laugh at her?

Robert even made a show of apologizing. “Excuse me, may I ask which university you attended?”
To be classmates with Leo?
Maricela started to regret it. She should have looked up Leo’s background before coming. What if she made up a school now and it didn’t match?
