Chapter 260 - Wingwoman (2/2)

”What has he been asking?” Halia wondered. She had suggested that Isaac find a common topic to talk to Lily about, but she never expected him to use her as this common topic. How sloppy of him.

”He asked me what you've been doing lately and where you're working now. He also asked if you had a brother or a twin...” Lily replied.

Halia thought for a second and quickly laughed. That was right, Isaac saw her dressed as Mars at the hospital recently.

”I forgot. I haven't revealed my identity to him yet. He ran into me last time while I was dressed as a man and it must have confused him. Do me a favor. When you get the chance, sit down with him and help me reveal everything to him,” Halia said, trying to make a chance for the two to interact.

”Why don't you tell him yourself?” Lily asked suspiciously.

At that moment, Natalie suddenly cut in, ”Mrs. Wu is going to be busy making babies, remember? Plus, she should start planning her honeymoon soon. As her bridesmaids, we should help out wherever we can...”

Natalie had known Halia since they were kids and understood her well. Halia could move a finger and Natalie would already know what she was thinking. So, she had already gathered from their conversation that Halia was trying to set up Lily with this Isaac guy.

Lily laughed at Natalie's comment and nodded her head, ”Yes, I almost forgot that Mrs. Wu has a lot of work on her hands.”

Lily thought she was teaming up with Natalie to tease Halia. But, unbeknownst to her, the two best friends were actually teaming up against her.

Halia pretended to be embarrassed and quickly turned to look for her third bridesmaid. She had to leave before Lily found a reason to reject her again.

At that moment, she spotted Amelie having a conversation with Jaclyn. ”I'm going to go speak to Amelie instead,” Halia said as she went to sit next to Amelie and her new sister-in-law.

As she walked past Natalie, she gave her a slight wink. Her best friend had just wingwomanned a wingwoman.

Natalie quickly held back a laugh.

...

Meanwhile, not too far away, inside a hotel suite, a phone rang.

A pair of long slender fingers slowly picked up the phone and answered it, ”Hello.”

”Marissa, you wouldn't believe what I just saw!” a high pitched voice squealed.

Marissa placed the phone on loudspeaker, sat down at her dressing table, and started brushing her hair.

”What?” she asked indifferently. Her friends often contacted her with gossip, but unless it was related to Emerson, she never really cared.

The woman on the other end took a deep breath and controlled her excitement as she said, ”Haili Feng just got married!”

Marissa quickly paused and stared at the phone with disbelief, ”Married? Who did she marry?”
