"Jennifer..huh." Melissa's friend asked when she noticed how Jennifer is happily spending time with her friend. 

"She does look so happy." her friend added. 

Melissa snorted. 

"She is indeed a lucky person. Even after that freaking accident, she turned out beautiful like always." her friend continued to speak. 

"She is still close to Oliver, right? I heard that they work in the same hospital and in the same department. That Flo - Jennifer is really something. She followed him to med school and even after getting rejected, she is shamelessly clinging to him." Melissa's friend diverted the topic when she noticed Melissa's dark face. 

Melissa is the same age as Oliver and has been in the same class as him for more than fifteen years but she never got his attention, affection or recognition. 

However, Jennifer, although she is younger than him and never shared the same class as him, he used to meet her very often in their school time. They are pretty close that Mellisa was always jealous of her.

"Who is that other girl beside her?" Melissa's friend asked. Looking at Kyra, she can tell that she is not an ordinary person. 

"I don't know her name but I met her once. She works for LK groups." Melissa answered. 

"Employee?" Melissa's friend asked for which Melissa nodded her head. 

"From what we saw till now, it seems like Jennifer is buying some things for her. That other girl must be from an ordinary background and is taking advantage of Jennifer." her friend shared her thoughts with Melissa. 

Melissa knows that it is not true. Today, this woman might be looking ordinary and pretty easy going but from what she has experienced a couple of days back, Melissa can assure that it is quite the opposite. 

"Mel, seeing that new friend of Jennifer's I am remembering someone from eight years back. Your step sister. That country bumpkin was close to Jennifer right? It's a shame that Oliver and you have graduated by the time that country bumpkin became friends with Jennifer. Otherwise, you would have utilized that chance to get close to Oliver." her friend said. 

"That country bumpkin was good for nothing, She was not useful to you at all." she said in a mocking manner. 

"I don't know why but when I look at that woman with Jennifer, I feel like she resembles my step sister a lot." Melissa said. 

"Why the hell did you feel like that, huh? That country bumpkin is dead for good. This woman here is not your step sister. You are overthinking that's it." her friend told Melissa. 

"She humiliated me during the meeting." Melissa muttered. 

"What? She humiliated you?! How can we let it go, Mel? Let's reciprocate the honor, come on." Melissa's friend pulled her with her to the next store to which Kyra and Jennifer just walked to. 

—---------

"We have to go on charity champagne this Thursday right? Let's buy some suitable, comfy clothes for those four days." Jennifer told Kyra who is getting exhausted already. Unlike most of the women, she is that affinated towards shopping. 

"I have enough, Jen." Kyra helplessly said. 

She was never asked to accompany Sophia and Lisa to shopping because they know that she will hold them back. That is why they would do her shopping as well. 

"You wear such baggy clothes, Ky. You have such a beautiful and sexy figure, which often made me wonder how your boyfriend is still holding his self control, anyway, what I am saying is, be yourself. There is no need to be this low key." Jennifer said. 

Kyra rolled her eyes. 

Jennifer has a knack for jumping from one topic to a totally different topic as freely as water. 

"You want me to stop disguising myself as a nerd dork and be myself?" Kyra asked. 

"Exactly!" Jennifer said. 

"Let's do that. It is not like I can hide this forever." Kyra said. 

She wanted to avoid attention but it became impossible the next second she got into a relationship with Oliver. 

Their relationship will be brought into light, if not now, at least at some time in future. All her personal details will be dug out and hiding herself would no longer be possible. 

"You agreed!!" Jennifer jumped excitedly, making every person in the shop look at her. 

Controlling her excitement, she whispered, "I never thought you would agree this fast." 

"I am not seeing any use of being low key now." Kyra said. 

"Exactly! First of all, you are the president of LK groups and would be taking over your grandmother's company soon as well (The company which is now under control of her biological mother). Secondly, you are dating and would marry the most eligible bachelor of this circle anytime soon. Thirdly, you are Collins! You are bound to become a public figure," Jennifer whispered. 

She made sure no one was able to listen to her and in fact no one did. It was at this moment, Melissa and her friend entered the shop and leisurely walked around. 

"It will be cold as we are going to hillside towns this time. Let's get geared up to bear that freaking temperature first." Jennifer said.

"Hillside towns? You mean the towns in the mountains to the east of our city?" Kyra asked. 

"Most probably." Jennifer said as she looked around in the winter section. 

"This scarf is good, Ky. It will go well with the dark shaded clothes which you always wear." Jennifer said, showing the scarf to Kyra. 

But Kyra was distracted and didn't respond to her friend, making Jennifer look at Kyra. 

"What's wrong?" Jennifer asked. 

But before Kyra could say anything, Melissa's friend Emma grabbed the scarf in Jennifer's hand. 

"We will take this." she told the saleslady and chucked it towards her. 

The sales lady managed to catch it but she looked at Jennifer for confirmation. After all, she was holding it first. 

"Flies. So many flies." Jennifer said, looking at Melissa and Emma. 

Kyra chuckled. 

She was in no mood for this child's play so she let Jennifer have the fun. 

"YOU- how dare you." Emma sneered and was about to get physical but Kyra stopped her thanks to her quick reflexes. 

"Jen, after observing this lady's emotions, I feel like she needs mental counseling. Should we help her in making appointments in our hospital?" Kyra asked. 

"You are generous like always, Ky. I don't think rude people deserve that generosity." Jen said. 

"Oh, even you work in that hospital. Let me tell you miss, this Jennifer here is so shameless that she is clinging on to your boss, Mr. Miller even though he rejected her countless times. You shouldn't be hanging out with shameless people like her." Emma said. 

Jennifer clenched her fists. This news of Oliver rejecting her has become famous in the whole circle that she is often mocked for that. 

"Really, Jen?" Kyra asked and that made Emma and Melissa smirk. 

Jennifer is so perfect. 

Beautiful. 

Successful. 

Rich. 

Loved by everyone and adored by mostly every guy in the circle. 

Only opportunity to mock her is to bring her the most humiliating rejection. 

"My brother would be so mad if he finds out some people here are mocking his girlfriend with some small thing in the past. Maybe you are right. These people do need counseling."

"They are holding on to such a small thing from the past and are overthinking it to this extent. Ut shows how free they are. They must be given counseling for wasting their precious peak age on other people's life instead of enhancing their own." Kyra said. 

"It is your friend who needs counseling, miss. She was and might still be depressed for getting rejected in such a humiliating way." Emma, although embraced, retaliated. 

"Is there no security here? Kick those both who started the fight out." the onlooker said. 

"Yes. It's noisy. High end shops like yours should take care of these." another person said. 

Emma got frustrated. 

"You- how dare you!" she shouted and threw a heavy yet small statue which is kept for show. 

Kyra was about to catch it but someone else did it first, preventing it from injuring Jennifer. 

"You fine, baby?" he asked Jennifer, making Kyra almost cough. It is her brother. 

She texted him to come here to pick her up. Her actual plan was to ask him to send Jennifer home but she knows that he wouldn't come if she said the truth. So, she came up with a white lie. 

'Perfect time, bro' Kyra thought inside and smiled. 

"Jen," Anthony called her again. Even he doesn't know why he did this. He simply couldn't tolerate seeing Jennifer getting bullied. 

It made his blood boil. So, even before he registered what he did, he was already here. 

Meanwhile, Melissa and Emma are in utter shock. 

So handsome!

He is no less to Oliver and God! His voice is so sexy and husky that it pumped all their blood to their cheeks. 

This guy here is Jennifer's boyfriend??

He is like a human version of adonis!
