37 Chapter 37: Not all men are jerks (2/2)

Cathy walked across Laurice and gave her a huge a warm hug.

”Gosh, i miss you so terribly, Liz. I'm glad you came back. I couldn't believe that i will only get to meet you here. We didn't even get to see each other back in the states. Are you staying here for good?” Cathy asked.

”You were busy.” Laurice simply replied while looking at her with an expression that seems to say it was all her fault that they did not even met once since she moved to Milan.

Cathy answered back abruptly. ”Hehe, well can't help it. I haven't quite established my brand yet. Its taking longer than expected. But honey, don't go clean on me, you were busy yourself!” Then she dragged Laurice by the shoulders towards the couch inside the magestic room exuding an elegant feminine charm.

”Hey, don't drag me. I'm beat you know.” Laurice scoffed.

”Yeah and you're late. Just get yourself a personal driver already. An attractive guy to boot alright? Who knows, you two might clicked?! Oh! Oh! An indecent affair with your bodyguard. How ... ! ”

”Cliche.”

Before Cathy could even say 'romantic' Laurice interrupted her midsentence.

'There goes the cold ice princess.'

Cathy could not help but pity her friend. She said, ”Do you not even have any romantic bones in your body honey? It's been a long time already since you've been in a relationship. Not all men are jerks you know.”

”According to you.” Laurice replied with a boorish expression. She lied her sore back on the couch and massaged her temple.

'Romance? Indecent Affair?'

Somehow the words were bothering her. An image of a certain brown eyed hottie flashed her eyes.

Cathy noticed that she was in a daze and was surprised when she saw her flushed face.

Cathy jumped right at her and exclaimed, ”Meno Male!!! Who is it? Tell me. Oh! Was it the guy with the sexy bedroom voice last time?”

Her eyes were sparkling and gaping at Laurice who felt rather helpess under her daunting gaze.

”No one.” Laurice annoyingly replied.

Cathy felt Laurice was hiding something from her based on her expression alone.

”Dai! I don't believe you. You can't hide the fact that you're blushing honey. So...?” Cathy was persistent. She will definitely not let her go if she would not confess to her atleast.

Laurice averted her gaze and replied unconsciously, ”A stranger. I spent a night with a complete stranger.” Her gaze was filled with longing.

Not noticing that she made quite a suggestive remark. Catherine gasped sharply from the shock upon hearing her words.

Meno Male is an italian slang and an expression used like saying, ”Thank, God” while Dai simply means ”come on.”
