“Yeah, yeah! You were right about everything, okay?” Rosemary glared at her.
“You’ve done a lot of shopping today, but I’m starving.”
Carina stuck out her tongue. “Come on! Let’s get something to eat.”
Caroline Cafe.
Arm in arm, they walked into the cafe, talking and laughing, and sat down in a quiet corner.
“What can I do for you, miss?” The waiter asked politely, coming up respectfully with the menu.
“Rosemary, what would you like to eat?” Carina pushed the menu in front of her.
“I’ll take the steak medium rare. The rest is up to you.” Rosemary turned and looked out the window.
Carina took a deep look at Rosemary, picked up the menu and ordered two of their usual favorites.
“That’s all.” Carina closed the menu and smiled at the waiter.
“Rosemary…”
Carina called out softly. Rosemary turned her head and smiled at her friend. “What’s up?”
“Is there something you’re not telling me?”
Rosemary’s face lit up with grief as she asked. But it disappeared soon and Carina didn’t see it.
“No. It’s just that my dad’s company is having a little bit of a cash crunch. But my dad said he aleady took care of it.”
Rosemary put on a brave face and smiled at Carina.
“I’m glad it’s okay! By the way, my dad helped me with the paperwork to go abroad. I’m leaving in three days.” There was a sad look on Carina’s face.
“Rosemary, I really can’t bear to leave you.”
“Isn’t it your dream to go abroad for further study? You should be glad he’s letting you go now!”
Carina didn’t force her. She asked Rosemary to take care and left.
At night, Cornshire was full of flowers and colorful things. The road was packed with traffic. Standing high, it seemed to be a resplendent palace.
“Honey, we’re getting married the day after tomorrow. I’m so nervous!”
The young man poked the young woman’s nose and said,
“I’m here, you little fool!”
The woman nestled happily beside a man.
“Yes. It’s so nice to have you around!”
Rosemary’s heart ached. Everyone could get married with the one they like, so why was I supposed to marry someone I didn’t even know?
As she walked, Rosemary suddenly found herself in a lonely alley. By the time she realized she was in danger it was too late.
