A group of friends were huddled together, whispering, when a strange voice suddenly cut in, making everyone jump.
They instinctively turned to look and saw a beautiful girl standing nearby, watching them with a cryptic smile. Beside her stood the very person they had just been gossiping about.
There's nothing more socially mortifying than being caught gossiping, and these young girls hadn't yet mastered the art of keeping a straight face when confronted.
"Sorry, we didn't mean to..."
Arabella Donovan gave them a reassuring smile to show she wasn't offended, but her gaze lingered on the girl who had defended the cheating man. She turned to Iris Donovan. "Do you two... have some history?"
Iris Donovan frantically shook her head. Arabella Donovan arched an eyebrow and turned her questioning gaze to the other girl.
A flicker of guilt crossed the girl's eyes. She avoided Arabella Donovan's gaze and stammered out a denial. "...N-No, we don't."
