Edina narrowed her eyes. It felt like it wanted to go berserk, but it tried to restrain itself from making a fuss in a public place and inviting attention.
"No, tuh. I got a rich man."
Edina then pulled out a new phone from her tiny bag, showing the luxurious glint of the latest smartphone she just bought and looking unscratched in the least.
Faizah only pursed her lips in envy. "It's a shame you always change smartphones, but never try expensive designer clothes."
The show-off intonation was not aimed at herself, but at Ayla, the girl beside her who was quite fashionable.
If Ayla was compared to Edina, it was obvious how different their styles were.
Ayla is a fashion maniac, while Edina is a tech maniac until her friends have to remind the woman to pay more attention to appearance.
"By the way, Alesha?" Ayla turned her head and replied, leaning her body towards Alesha.
The girl who was biting a straw with bulging cheeks looked distracted from her daydream.
'A lot of whatever I produce doesn't seem to be enough, ' Alesha said in her heart. He then looked down lethargic.
Alesha's friends don't know exactly how her life is. But all they know is that Alesha is really in desperate need of money and they understand why because Alesha is not such a wasteful child among them.
They know that everyone has their own problems. That is what makes them support each other and always entertain each other.
"Ah, stop. Let's eat first." Alesha shook her hand while chuckling. Feeling guilty. Didn't expect his lethargic face to provoke the empathy of the three materialistic women.
On the other hand, Rafael felt the thing he had accidentally heard from the girls with thick makeup was really interesting. That involuntaryness is precisely he craving now.
He sharpened all his senses. Sharpen the sense of hearing to obtain information from their conversations, and sharpen the sense of sight to silently stare at the woman who had shifted her attention.
Girl with deep and soft eyes, cute ran lips, and snow princess cheeks that make perfect proportions. Somehow ... the girl reminded him of Aeleasha —his ex-wife. The woman he had always missed.
The conversation of the four young women subconsciously caught Rafael's attention. The man ordered another latte so he could sit there longer.
They seemed to have finished eating, but were still eager to continue their chatter.
"You know what, the most accurate place to see where the rich men are?"
The three women leaned towards Ayla. This woman is indeed the smartest to open a controversial topic.
"I asked." Ayla looked at her friends one by one, putting on a confused pretentious face.
"Don't force me to curse you, Ayla." Edina the girl who was the most impatient among them always made the conversation even hotter.
"Come on, we know you never say anything unknown." Alesha this time opened her voice.
Ayla this time did not give up on flirting. "I'm really asking you your opinion."
"There are people asking opinions with intonation like wanting to tell a horror movie so." Faizah is now rolling her eyeballs. "Then what do you think, Ayla?"
His argument was met with admiration by his three friends. Ayla then continued her words in a soft, half-whispering tone.
"When I want to get in here I see a guy with a fancy sports car. Ah, unfortunately I have an appointment with you guys so you have to come here quickly."
"If I wasn't that big. I just need to look at the man passing by, then see if the watch price is expensive or not. In addition, the indicator can be his phone, or his earphones. It's easy to tell the difference." Edina now showed her appraisal skills.
Alesha clapped her hands and smiled wryly. "Well .. so great is your ability."
Faizah frowned. "How can you make such a complex observation? Want as rich as anything, free if stingy."
The three girls laughed.
Until then Ayla again took an upright position, preparing to take attention.
"Friends, why are you dressing up this beautiful and coming here?"
Ayla. "Everything has space, there's an opportunity, right? How about we prove it now?" The girl smiled and made the smiles of her friends expand.
Faizah now stood up with spirit. "Let's see who manages to get a handsome prey!" he cried with a voice full of spirit.
The four young women then moved one by one from their seats and scattered in different directions.
Rafael straightened his body. He prepared to follow the direction of the passing of a woman named Alesha who walked towards the north. Somehow those footsteps wearing high heels could be more agile than him. The woman's steps seemed to be getting faster. Rafael half-runs after him.
Rafael discovers that the girl has entered the elevator with several people. Rafael ran towards the elevator to stop the door. However, it was too late as he arrived right after the door was tightly shut.
Of course, he clucked in annoyance and threw his hand violently into the air. He could almost reach the woman.
He then rushed up the stairs to the third floor, which was the closest direction to the elevator. Thinking that he will be on time, but made even more riled up when he saw people had gone out of the elevator without the woman named Alesha. There was no longer any elevator inside.
Rafael searched the entire corner of the third floor. From fresh fruit stalls, hydroponic vegetables, to frozen meats.
He immediately realized, young women could not get there. The man turned around tracing the possible angles. Until he saw the exit to the parking lot. Rafael wished the girl was there.
He wandered around the entire parking lot, but still found no sign of the woman.
Rafael who was panting then returned to the Mall area. Ride the elevator to the fourth floor based on his non-concrete instincts. Tracing every corner of the Mall is like looking for a missing child.
Rafael constantly repeated his quest from the first to the fourth floor. Either the optimism that suddenly overflowed from mana made him so persistent with no indication of giving up a single percent.
"God! Where's that woman named Alesha? Why is it that it goes so fast as it is chased by a ghost? Where is he looking for sugar daddy? There's no need to search because I'm the one who's gonna offer to be a sugar daddy."
Rafael now thinks it will be a daddy trait for Alesha because she thinks she can use a woman who fits her criteria.
"Alesha .. The woman is very similar to my ex-wife."
