”Rachel, I'm back. Where are you? I wanna talk to you.” It was Celine on the other end of the phone. She called Rachel as soon as she got off the plane.
”Okay, I'm just getting off from work. Let's meet at the usual place!” Rachel took all her stuff and walked towards the elevator.
In a milk tea store on an old street in H City.
Celine had bought a lot of presents for Rachel on her trip. Rachel was moved when she saw them.
”This is a local snack. It's really good. I bought it for Aunt Fannie! Both of you should try it! And this is a handmade handbag. Isn't it cute? I bought two of these. One for you…”

And she's always pretending like she's weak to win people's sympathy. Why did Hiram save her?
You know what? When I found out that he chose Lydia over you, I was really really mad at him! Hiram is a smart guy. Why can't he see what kind of person Lydia is?”
Rachel took a sip of her milk tea. She rested her chin on her hands and looked at Celine, who looked more attractive when she was angry.
