Chapter 1642 - Mixing the issues
In reality, Livia was not going anywhere, much less asking her boss. Her words about part-time work
were just an excuse. The party, according to her, was another trap.
"I asked, but he didn't agree to give me a day off," Livia replied quietly."
"Why not? Did you tell him it's your classmate's birthday? Just say it's an important day, you have to
work every day anyway, it's the same if you work one day less or one day more
Easy to say, Livia thought.
This company had a reward system for no passes. If you came there the whole month, without missing
a single day, then you could get two hundred euros for it. Of course, two hundred did not matter to
Genara, unlike Livia. Genara usually spent more in a bar, but Livia had enough for a few days. So she
could not miss a single day.
"I'm sorry, Genara. I really can't go. My boss can get mad at me for absenteeism and fire me, and I
can't let that happen by saying that, Livia gave her a gift. -Here's another thing, I've prepared a little gift
for you. It is cheap, but from the heart."
Genara looked at the gift. It was wrapped in a simple package, and it was immediately obvious that
there was some cheap trinket inside, so she instinctively developed a sense of disdain. However, she
could not show Livia her true feelings, so with a fake smile she accepted the gift.
"Thank you. Actually, for me, I think it would make me happier if you wanted to go to the birthday party
rather than give me a present."
Who would believe such hypocritical words, Livia sneered in her heart, but her face did not show it at
all.
"I'm very sorry, I hope I can come to your birthday next year if I get a chance, I wish you a happy
birthday and have fun then."
" Thank you, Livia. I will definitely leave you some cakes. Angelica is also not going. Don't you
accidentally know what her sudden cases are?
- Doesn't she go either? Didn't she agree yesterday? Livia wondered."
- Exactly. Yesterday she promised she would come, and today I suddenly changed my mind. She even
gave me some perfume. Look, taking the perfume off the shelf, she handed it to Livia. - It looks like an
elite brand. I liked the fragrance so much. By the way, what did you have in store for me?
Livia looked at Angelica's gift, and when she saw the beautiful packaging she immediately changed her
face.
She half-closed her lips and spoke with difficulty, "My gift is not so beautiful, it's just a couple of
ornaments I bought, but I think it's quite exquisite."
As soon as the words left her mouth, Genara had already roughly unwrapped her gift box and tossed it
to the side, obviously acting with extreme disdain, but when she saw the pair of rabbit ornaments, she
showed a surprised expression.
"So cute, I really like this gift, thank you Livia~"
- Not at all. I'm glad you liked it, Livia replied indifferently, not feeling the sincerity in Eva's words.
Then Genara took the ornament and casually placed it next to the perfume on the nightstand shelf. The
perfume remained upright, but Livia's gift immediately fell on the pillow.
Michela saw it and pulled her lips together.
Livia involuntarily clenched her hands into fists, but soon relaxed, as if remembering something, and
then sat down at her desk, ready to start her homework. Anyway, she didn't spend much money. Only
twenty or thirty euros. She was not going to give Genara anything useful, so she was prepared in
advance for such rude treatment, for the fact that she would throw her gift away, like some kind of
trash. Then she opened the textbook, but suddenly remembered Angelica. Didn't she agree to go
yesterday? Why did she suddenly change her mind?
Livia recalled that in the past few days Angelica spent all her time with Manuel, they constantly had
dinner and walked together. From these thoughts, Livia's soul became restless.
She knew that a boy like Manuel would never look in her direction. His social status, his looks... None
of it was up to her standards, so Manuel did not like her at all. But she could not stop thinking about
him. She dreamed about him constantly. Every time she woke up, she blamed herself for it and
promised that such dreams would never happen again. She constantly forced herself to throw the
impossible out of her head, but she could not do it, so she tried to spend all her time studying and
working.
She hoped she could change if she succeeded academically and made a lot of money. But now it
seemed to her that it was too late, and all her work was in vain. Her last point, to which she aspired so
much, was someone's start. While she was doing her best to climb the mountain, someone easily
drove up. How could she compete with all these people?
From these thoughts, Livia smiled bitterly to herself and tried to focus on the textbook, but soon
realized that she could not understand a single word she read. Then she picked up another book, but
history repeated itself. Livia could not think about studying now; all her thoughts were occupied with
something else. Hearing Genara and Michela laughing, she pulled out a small mirror to look at them.
They looked happy and carefree. Livia did not know what they were talking about, but sarcasm and
ridicule could clearly be heard in Genara's voice. She took off the mirror and continued to pretend to be
busy with classes.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
After waiting for Angelica to finish washing, she took her clothes and went to the bathroom.
- Livia, are you home yet, I.... Angelica was about to greet her, but Livia, not paying any attention to her,
passed by.
Angelica was stunned and looked at Livia in her wake, but the door slammed noisily behind her, and
she continued to stand stupidly in the same place, not understanding what had happened.
Michela and Genara over there also noticed, and the two of them looked at each other before Genara
reached over and pulled Angelica.
"Did you fight?"
Angelica shook her head, "No."
" Then why is she acting so irritated?"
"I don't know." Angelica continued to shake her head, a little sad, but said, "Maybe she is too tired from
part-time work.
- Let it be, but tiredness is still not a reason to be so irritated and snap at you. Besides, you are always
so nice to her. Apparently, she doesn't know any manners at all."
Angelica frowned, "Don't say that, she is usually very kind to me."
It was probably something that bothered her, Angelica still trusted Livia.
"Angelica, we're not saying anything bad about Livia, we're just telling the truth, would you treat
everyone like this if you were the one out there with something to worry about?"
These words gave Angelica pause.
"Right, you wouldn't, and she gave me a birthday present when she came before, why are you the only
one who treats you like this, you must have offended her somehow?"
Angelica's features rippled into a frown and finally her eyes fell on the duo's faces.
"You are trying to turn me against her."
