Choose a side before it's too late

"Patricia, nice to see you too." Nina's smile didn't reach her eyes. "It's been a while."

"It has been!" Patricia, now a beautiful woman, flipped her shiny hair as she casually invited herself to Nina's table. "How nice, meeting you here!"

Nina smiled, staring at the spot where Patricia had sat down. "Someone is seated there."

"Oh? Are you with a friend?" Patricia furrowed her brows. "Or is it a client? Don't tell me it's your fiancé?"

"Patricia." Nina forced herself to maintain a smile. "Please, not here?"

"Not here? What do you mean?" Patricia tilted her head to the side. "If you're with a client, then I'll just hire you. That way, I'm a client now. Isn't that better?"

The corners of her lips curled up as her eyes sharpened a little, while Nina maintained her poise.
