Chapter 664
She was no longer as cold as before, occasionally speaking with a hint of sarcasm. Now, although she and Lennon had not reconciled, there was a vague sense of ambiguity between them.
Even Jaida could see that there was a story between them.
That afternoon, Jaida went to the law firm to find Mariela.
In the office, Caylee brewed her own coffee while sourly saying, “Come clean, what happened between you and Lenny? You used to be so cold towards him, how come now you two are exchanging flirtatious glances?”
Marie laughed and gave her a disdainful look, “What kind of flirting are you talking about? Don’t spread rumors.”
“Hmph, I’ve seen it several times already,” Jaida muttered.“When you used to look at him, your eyes were cold, but now it’s different. Your eyes are sparkling, like stars. Are you two going to rekindle your old flame?”
Marie asked the cow and the horse, “I’ll take it as you were complimenting my beautiful eyes.*
“Don’t change the subject, tell me the truth, did something happen between you and him?” Jaida said, suddenly covering her mouth and widening her eyes.“You two, you didn’t… do that, did you?”

“…” Marie was speechless.“I mean, Ms. Moore, did you forget that we used to be rivals? Who are you to interrogate a rival like this? What? Which one? What on earth are you thinking about all day?”
“Of course, I was thinking about Lenny, what else could I be thinking about?” Jaida murmured. “Are you treating me as a rival or a friend?” Marie chuckled and looked at Jaida, “Why do you have the tone of interrogating a criminal, just like my best friend?”
“How do you say that word?” Jaida tilted her mouth, “Enemy honey, yes, it’s, we were enemy, both rivals and best friends.”
Marie couldn’t help but laugh,“Ms. Moore, ‘enemy honey‘ doesn’t mean that.”
Still having both a love rival and a best friend, how is that possible?
“I don’t care,” Jaida huffed, “I wanted to be with Lenny, be the best in the world with him, but I also wanted to be good friends with you, the second best in the world.”
