"We're all good friends of Lisa, and I grew up with him as well. I heard both of you are married?"

"Congratulations!"

Nancy sized Jennie up while talking to her.

She didn't feel good about what she saw.

Chan had told her that she was a student, but he didn't say that the girl was so beautiful.

Although she still looked a bit too young and tender, her features were extremely attractive.

And her skin was so fair she was practically glowing.

Nancy lived in an area with strong sunlight and ultraviolet light.

Even though she applied sunscreen lotion every day and wasn't too tanned, she appeared a lot darker when comparing herself to this girl.

That girl had a pretty little face and lush long hair.

She had a nice and clean aura about her.

Nancy was pretty, educated, and had a rather good background.

No other girl in her social circle was more outstanding than her.

This made her a little proud, and she hardly looked up to other girls.

But this Jennie...

This was the first time in Nancy's life where she felt threatened, and also... jealous.

She had to admit that this girl's looks were definitely comparable to hers, all things aside.

In fact... this girl looked even better than herself.

Girls were always quick to pick up the subtleties in interactions, and Jennie was able to sense the hostility in Nancy's eyes almost immediately.

She was slightly stunned.Nancy felt a sense of enmity towards her?

Where was it coming from?

"Hello, Miss Jeon." Jennie shook her hand politely.

When she reached out her hand, she felt as if Nancy had stolen a glance at her hand.

The next moment, the hostile look in her eyes dissipated slightly.

"You don't have to be so formal with me." Nancy smiled and sounded rather nice and approachable.

"You're Lisa's wife, that makes us your good friends too. You can call me by my name"

Nancy glanced at her other hand discreetly while talking and then smiled even more widely.

Jennie was confused about what she was to look at.

What exactly was Nancy trying to see?

...

They were all seated.

The waiter then came over with the menu.

It was a welcome gathering for Nancy, so she took a look at the menu before placing the order.

When she was done, she handed the menu to the waiter and smiled at Lisa.

"Lisa, I ordered your food for you. We haven't met in just a year, I suppose your tastes haven't changed?"

Jennie wasn't sure if she was being too sensitive.

She felt as if Nancy was trying to flaunt how close she was to Lisa.

A woman's intuition was very accurate.

Lisa looked up and faced her.

Nancy smiled and rested her chin on her hand, casually saying, "I remember when you used to come over to my house. My mom would always prepare chopped chili pepper fish for you. She said you loved it."
