Chapter 38: Encounter
‘‘But who was this man?’’
‘’More importantly, what was the relationship between him and Michelle?’’
The two girls were silently measuring up their odds so they could make a move on George.
"Hey ladies, is there any problem?" George finally asked, since their blatant stare made him feel uncomfortable.
He could tell from their conversation with Michelle that they were familiar.
Besides, they also mentioned that Michelle's surname was Greenwoods.
'I wonder what's going on, ' George thought in passing.
Seeing the tentative smile on his handsome face, Paula began to talk to him in her seductive voice, "Nothing.It's just that we're quite familiar with who Michelle's friends are but this is the first time we saw you.May I ask who you are?"
"Oh, I see," George replied without giving anything away.
With his legs crossed, he brought the glass of juice to his mouth and drank it with finesse.
There was no way he would answer her question.
Paula's cheeks reddened out of embarrassment when George ignored her.
Meanwhile, Jolie snickered and thought to herself, ‘Don't get too cocky, Paula.Do you think all men would bow down and worship at your feet?’
If Jolie's memory served her right, this man was the same doctor she met in the hospital a few days ago, which meant that he was Michelle's colleague.
At that time, Jolie barely glanced at George.
Never did she think she would meet him again.
‘This must be the fate.’ Jolie couldn't help but blush at the idea.
"Michelle, what do you think about this one?"
Nina emerged from the fitting room wearing a formal dress.She stood and twirled in front of the mirror while asking for Michelle's and George's opinion.She was oblivious to Paula and Jolie's presence.
Michelle finally breathed a sigh of relief.
A smile instantly painted her face then she walked towards Nina.
No matter what her friend was wearing, she had always praised it, "It looks very beautiful on you.This is the one."
Michelle just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
To be exact, she didn't want to be in the same place as Jolie and Paula.
However, what Nina said next completely shattered her wish.
"But Michelle, I think the one I just tried was more flattering.How about having a look for me again?"
Nina was already walking back to the fitting room, completely immersed in her own thoughts. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
When Michelle turned around to go back to her seat, she found George in between Paula and Jolie.
It was such a relief to see that their attention was focused on him.
For the first time ever, George came in handy as a shield.
At least now, he had distracted the two women from attacking her further.
Where Michelle finally had some peace and quiet, George got the short end of the stick.
Jolie and Paula made it their mission to pester him.
They kept asking personal questions, which was so unbecoming of women born into a wealthy family.
They chattered annoyingly and even dared to ask whether his shoes were handmade from Italy.
‘It's my first time encountering this severe type of gold diggers!’ George thought angrily while trying to control his temper.
"May I call you George?" Paula asked coyly as she twirled her long hair around her finger.
"Of course," he agreed graciously.
No matter how hard it was, he would make sure not to forget his manners.
‘What else can I say?’ George retorted at the back of his mind.
He was utterly speechless at their attitude.
Although he appreciated beautiful women, he would never care for bimbos like these two.
"Are you Michelle's colleague? Why haven't I heard her mention you?"
It was Jolie who asked this time.She even batted her eyelashes thinking it was endearing.
"Oh, I'm new here.What's the relationship between you two and Michelle?"
He steered the conversation away from him.
Although George hated these two women to the core, he would still try to talk to them because he wanted to know more about Michelle too.
