That night Charlos went to the cafe with Jared. Charlos met him at Edith Miriam's fashion show. They are pretty good friends, just as he is friends with Satria. However, he cannot call Satria his best friend anymore because he is not comfortable being friends with someone who loves the same woman.
Charlos had never seen Satria again. After Satria started dating Elizabeth, they rarely communicated.
At least, Jared was married. They don't need to snatch any woman from each other.
Jared is the CEO of a garment company. Charlos knew Gladys from him because they were college friends. Charlos did not think that his mother and Gladys's mother were friends of socialite mothers.
He hadn't seen Jared in several months. The man was shorter than Charlos, slightly distended stomach, and had thin front hair. They were actually the same age, but Jared looked older than him.
"Hey, Charl." Jared waved at him. "How are you?"
