My salary grew several times, giving me more time, energy, and confidence to pay more attention to my dressing and makeup.
In my spare time, I would work out in the gym and practice yoga, so I was getting better and better in both figure and poise.
Many male colleagues in the company pursued me.
But I just politely declined with a smile all the time.
One time when I was on a business trip, I went shopping for a bag but ran into an old acquaintance, Antonia, in the mall.
She spent money lavishly, holding the arm of another man that was unfamiliar to me.
When she looked up and saw me, she
smiled at me.
“What a coincidence!

“I heard that you divorced Nat. Looks like
you are having a good life now without him.”
A beauty was always adorable.
Despite her ambiguous relationship with Nathan before, I bore her no grudge.
I turned to look at the man behind her who was paying and asked her, “Is this your new boyfriend?”
Antonia smiled with her eyes and brows curved.
“Him? Just another simp like Nathan.”
Antonia came over and whispered to me.
I couldn’t help but chuckle. Antonia was such a special girl with a peculiar style.
Antonia suggested taking a walk with me.
I didn’t refuse.
Looking at the passers–by coming and going on the road, I uttered with a faint smile, “I thought you would still be with

him.”
After all, Nathan was such a persistent chaser of Antonia, and she had never rejected his courtship.
Antonia acted as if she had heard a funny joke.
“Jane, do you think everyone is as silly as
you?
“For a man like him, girls only need to play with him. How can you genuinely get involved with him?”
I turned to look at her in surprise.
But Antonia opened up and shared with me her trick of flirting with men without
reservation.
“For a man like Nathan, I can see through him with only one glance.
“He seems faithful, but in reality, he has a wandering eye.
“To tell you the truth, I’ve seen you a long
3/4
time ago.
“At that time. Nathan was by your side shopping with you. He paid no attention to you and just kept looking at the beautiful girls on his phone. But you still had no idea that this man beside you had already betrayed you.”
Antonia’s words shocked me even more.
I stared at her in a daze, and soon, she did say what I had guessed.
“So you should thank me.
“I deliberately kept Nathan hanging so that you could see his true colors and divorce
him.”
It dawned on me.
Holding a glass of drink in her hand,
Antonia looked at me with a hearty smile and curved eyes.
I smiled too.
