For the umpteenth time, Jessica took a deep breath. Her fingers were constantly tapping on the table, and her eyes were staring out the window.
"Please answer! What relationship do you have with Al? Are you guys playing behind me?"
Oh, wait!
Jessica immediately looked straight into Vera's eyes and shook her head quickly.
"We're just friends, Vi!" cried Jessica quickly.
Vera narrowed her eyes and shook her head in disbelief.
"Look! Alex isn't the type of person who wants to waste time accompanying people for a walk! If he wasn't pushy, he wouldn't want to leave the house! Moreover, accompanying women to the salon?!"
Oh, No! Jessica's eyes immediately widen when Vera mentions the word salon. How did Vera know about the salon?
"Oh, you must be wondering where I got to know about the salon! As long as you know, Lea is the bucket! It's news that when he brought you there it has already spread! Could it be that there was love at first sight between you two?" Vera asked probingly.
Jessica immediately pursed her lips. How was she going to explain to Vera what had happened? There was no way she could tell Vera about her problems with Rey.
"Look, Vi, we're close, but we're just friends! If there's something more than that, I will tell you."
"Friends? The problem is that Al is suspicious! It makes me curious, you know?! But come on, maybe you guys haven't gotten that far yet. But, if there is something, I support it with all my heart."
Jessica just smiled listening to Vera's words. If only she knew what was going on between them.
"Okay, by the way, what do you think about me?"
Vera looks confused to hear Jessica's question.
"Em, do you think I am old-fashioned or not? Ouch, how do you say it?" Jessica again tapped her fingers on the table.
"You are talking about appearance?" asked Vera, who began to understand the direction of Jessica's conversation.
Jessica smiled broadly and nodded quickly.
"You are beautiful, calm, sweet. You look a bit old-fashioned, but it doesn't matter, because whatever you wear, you still look beautiful!"
"The problem is, today's men like trendy, fashionable, sexy ones, Vi."
"That's right. Don't worry, for that one, I have a solution!"
"Please, don't tell me you want to take me to the salon! It's enough with Lea, I don't want other Leas to touch my face!" said Jessica with a horrified face.
Vera immediately burst out laughing when she heard Lea's name being mentioned. Especially with the look on Jessica's face that was deliciously horrified.
"Calm down, the important thing is that you prepare a lot of money!" exclaimed Vera with a broad smile.
"A lot of money? For what?"
***
"Wow ..." Jessica looked at all the clothes that were beautifully displayed in front of her in amazement.
"Yes! Welcome to women's paradise, Sis!" said Vera with sparkling eyes.
Jessica nodded slowly. Her gaze was still focused on the window of one of the most luxurious fashion stores in the mall they visited.
"There are lots of clothes nowadays that are super comfortable to wear. So you can just leave the T-shirts with pictures of Winnie de Pooh and his friends in your closet from now on!"
Jessica immediately grimaced when she heard Vera mention one of the cartoon characters she liked. It's true, apart from work clothes, most of the contents of Jessica's wardrobe are t-shirts of various colors with various adorable cartoon characters. It's not wrong if Alex and Lea call her a high school girl. No, today's high schoolers don't even wear something like that anymore.
"Shopping time!" Vera shouted, pulling Jessica's hand, dragging her into the shop.
With great enthusiasm, Vera chooses so many contemporary models of clothes that match Jessica's style and face.
"Crazy, this is cool! Sis, you must have this one!" Vera exclaimed while bringing a very pretty short skirt.
Even though the skirt was really pretty, Jessica didn't dare imagine herself wearing such a skirt.
"Eh, it turned out to be pants!" Jessica screamed in disbelief.
Vera only smiled a little at Jessica's surprise.
"The model is indeed a skirt, but these are pants, Sis!"
Jessica nodded slowly and took the skirt from Vera's hands.
"But if you use this, I guarantee you, Rey will be furious!" mumbled Vera slowly.
Hearing what Vera just said, Jessica immediately smiled broadly. An idea crossed her mind.
"Let's buy this one! Who cares about Rey?! Being beautiful and sexy is not a sin!" Jessica exclaimed with a faint smile appearing on her beautiful face.
Not only bought it, but Jessica also immediately wore it.
After shopping, they rested at one of the ice cream shops in the mall. Vera takes so many selfies with Jessica because according to her, Jessica looks very beautiful right now.
Shortly after Vera uploaded a photo on her Instagram account, Rey called her.
"Rey called! Will you pick this up?" cried Vera panicked.
"It's up to you! You're the one on the phone!" said Jessica casually. Jessica is indifferent, she chooses to enjoy ice cream in front of her rather than having to worry about Rey.
"Hello?"
Vera picked up the phone from Rey. The girl deliberately loaded the call speaker so that Jessica could also hear their conversation.
"Vi, you can just delete your post, can't you?" Rey said in a cold tone.
"Why?"
"Don't you see if Jessica's skirt is too short?"
Hearing Rey's tone starting to rise, Vera immediately glanced at Jessica. And of course, the girl just kept ignoring Vera.
"Rey, that skirts are still safe to wear. Many women wear skirts that are much shorter than that!"
"The problem is, have you seen her wearing such a short skirt all this time? It's okay, you don't have to argue with me! You better delete this post now, or just crop it Jessica!"
After saying that, Rey immediately ended the call.
Vera scowled in annoyance, while Jessica immediately laughed in satisfaction.
Rey still seemed to care about her. Maybe he likes her, it's just that Rey never realized his true feelings for Jessica.
"I'm starting to get suspicious again. You said, Rey is not your brother, so who is he? Could it be, Rey is a bodyguard that was ordered by your parents to take care of you?" asked Vera.
Jessica immediately gaped at Vera's guess.
"You watch a lot of dramas, you know?! I'm not the president's daughter! After all, you know that Rey is the son of a rich man! How do you think he can be a bodyguard?!"
"That's true, he is rich. Oh, could it be that you are his ex-girlfriends who are still close?"
"Ugh, I'm getting dizzy when I hear your stupid guesses! Finish it off, go home!"
