Farrah can feel her excitement through the phone. ""Katrina, what happened? Why are you so happy? You seem so very happy today.""
Katrina can't wait to share her joy with her best friend and squeals, ""I got recognized and promoted at work!""
""Wow! That's wonderful, Katrina!"" Farrah gushes, ""Why were you recognized? What happened?"" Katrina has always been dedicated to her work. She must have done something great for her to get promoted like this!
""I can't explain right now, I'll tell you tonight. I'll send you the address after I've made a reservation!""
""Alright, then! I'll wait until tonight! Even I'm dying to know the truth I still need to control myself and wait for your revelation,""
After hanging up the phone, Farrah lights up with a smile. Since they were childhood friends, they have always shared their achievements with each other.
Katrina and I will be best friends forever. Even though we have a rough life, having each other's support makes everything easier. As long as we have each other, our future will only get better and better.
Even though we are orphans, it doesn't mean anything. Where we start doesn't dictate where we end up at all.
In the evening, Katrina arrives at the restaurant early.
While she waits for Farrah, a waiter comes up to her table with the menu. She looks up and smiles. ""Sorry I'm waiting for my friend. I'll order later, but I'll have a glass of orange juice for now. Thank you.""
""Okay."" He comes back after a while with the orange juice.
After twenty minutes, Farrah still hasn't arrived. The orange juice is half-empty, and Katrina starts to get a little worried. Should I call her? She thinks, getting her cell phone from her bag.
No, she might be on the way—no need to make her worry. I might just cause an accident if I call… If she doesn't get here in ten minutes, I'll call. I can wait a little longer.
As Katrina places her phone on the table, she hears a familiar voice.
""How sad! What, no friends to eat with now that Marcellus has left you? Why don't I keep you company for a while?""
Katrina looks up to see Sophie strutting towards her on high heels, a scornful look on her face. Her best friend Cindy is sitting at a nearby table filled with a pile of half-eaten dishes.
Why do I always bump into Sophie? She thinks of resignation. Since I broke up with Marcellus, she's been out of control. And she was trying to drag me down. This stupid woman makes me feel disgusted.
Sophie sneers, feeling immense satisfaction whenever she taunts Katrina about Marcellus. I had to endure this stupid bitch in silence, but she's not under his protection anymore!
Katrina scowls as she picks up her glass and takes a sip. I'm not letting her spoil my mood. ""Thank you for the kind offer, but you don't have to. I'm waiting for my friend.""
But Sophie has no intention of leaving quietly. She must be waiting for Farrah, and she's the only friend this wretched bitch has!
