The women sat down in the living room while the young man gave Minnie a chilled can of orange juice. Both Diana and Jane who came to the apartment unit earlier than Minnie already had their own opened cans."Sorry, I don't have tea here," he said in a sheepish tone.
"Don't worry about it. I'll gift you some high-quality tea leaves, so how about you go on a date with me?" Minnie winked at him.
"Minnie! Stop flirting with my cousin!"
"Oh, come on, Diana! I'm just admiring a handsome man. There's nothing wrong with going on a date. It's not like I'm asking him to marry me."
The young man blushed again.
"Look at him. He's so cute! Ahahahaha! I still didn't get your name. Come on, tell me. Don't be shy. Your beautiful and sexy Big Sister Diana won't eat you up, I promise. At least not yet."
"My English name is...Luke. Big Sister Diana and I are maternal cousins."
"Hi, Luke! Come here and sit beside me."
Before Luke could react, Minnie had already pulled him down to sit beside her on the couch. All of his exposed skin turned red, causing her to laugh even more merrily.
She hugged his arm and pushed her big, fake boobs against him. Then she glanced at her scowling best friend and the curious Jane. "So Diana, why did you call us in this pitifully tiny apartment?"
"Sorry that it's so tiny," Luke said in a small voice. "My family isn't rich like Diana's maternal family. I'm renting this place on my own because it's near my university."
"Oh, Luke. Don't worry. Your new Big Sister Minnie isn't looking down on you! How about I sponsor your entire schooling and find you a better apartment? What do you think?"
"Minnie, stop it! My cousin isn't a beggar. He has me, his blood-related cousin, to help him!"
Minnie leaned her head on Luke's shoulder. "If you're really helping your cousin, why is he still staying in this place then? You even asked ME, the one and only Minnie, one of the most iconic Singaporean socialites of this generation, to come in such a squalid area! Can't we just meet in your condo or somewhere nicer? You even invited a teenager! What if some thugs attacked Jane while coming here? What were you thinking, Diana?"
"Thugs rarely come here," Luke mumbled.
"Just shut it, Minnie," Diana said, sighing. "I haven't really met any of my maternal relatives since I came to the country. That's why it's only now that I learned about my cousin's situation. And I asked you to come here because there are paparazzi camping outside my condo to ambush me ever since those...illegally recorded private videos of me were spread on the internet. Even the tabloids started attacking me. This place should be safer since not a lot of people know that Luke is my cousin. I was sneaking out of my condo when Jane called me to offer moral support. She wanted to meet me so I decided to just bring her along."
Jane stomped her foot. "Hmph! I bet that it's that bitch Jennie who caused you to be humiliated in the media like this, Diana! Previously, the tabloids were criticizing Jennie for making Lisa fire you because of her jealousy. And then the next day, those shameful videos of you were spread all over the internet and the tabloids suddenly changed their aim to you. It's just too coincidental! How can she ruin your reputation like this? She's so despicable!"
Diana clenched her hand hard, causing her nails to dig into her palms. Indeed, she agreed with Jane. It must be Jennie who caused all the troubles she was facing right now.
"Well, you have to admit that you were really wild and naughty in those videos, Diana," Minnie interrupted, laughing. "Even I'm impressed by your libido. What's your secret? Are you taking some special supplements or something? Quick, tell your bestie. Don't be shy. Ahahaha!"
Both Luke and Jane turned red at her frankness.
"Shut up, Minnie."
"Ahahaha! You're still such a bitch. I really feel confused why I'm still friends with you."
Jane tried to interject. "Miss Minnie—"
"Call me Minnie."
"Minnie, please don't call Diana a bitch. It's Jennie Kim, that man-stealer, who's the real bitch here, not Big Sis Diana."
"Ahahaha! Girl, do you even know the definition of man-stealer? In the first place, Lisa has never been Diana's man, so how could Jennie steal him away from her? It's actually Diana who's in the wrong here because she's lusting after another woman's man. Oh, woe to me! Even though I know it's wrong, but since Diana is my bestie, I have to support her no matter what. This is what a best friend is supposed to do. I'm ready to help her with anything. Oh, she's so lucky to have me!"
Diana's expression was now extremely ugly. She was trying so hard to control her anger and to restrain herself from slapping her friend's cosmetically-enhanced face.
It was at times like this that she often wondered how she became best friends with such an annoying person like Minnie. But she already knew the answer.
Minnie was the most loyal friend. She was the type of person who could make one's blood boil in anger by her careless words and superficial, condescending actions but would still help a friend bury a corpse without hesitation.
This was why Diana tolerated this annoying best friend of hers. She couldn't find anyone who was more loyal to her than Minnie.
She sighed and massaged her temples. "Just please stop for now. Okay, Minnie?"
"Alrighty, Diana~"
After calming down, Diana looked at everyone with a serious expression. "You all know that the situation I'm in right now is the worst. I need your help. Will you help me?"
Minnie rolled her eyes. "Diana, do you even need to ask me that question?"
"Big Sis Diana, I'll help! Just tell me what to do!"
"You're my cousin. Of course, I'll help you."
