After Nina heard it, she nodded her head. It was indeed Tia.
Was Tia the only beautiful woman? As a woman, looking from an aesthetic perspective, Tia was not that pretty.
She was only good at dressing up herself and covering all of her flaws. She was cautious even when she was walking normally, controlling her tendency to out-toe.
It was only because Tia was rich, which made her look glamorous in the eyes of others. Who knew if she was good-looking after her makeup was removed?
The beautician saw her keeping silent and asked curiously in a soft voice, “Miss Langdon, do you know her?”
“She’s famous, everyone knows her.” Nina and Luca exchanged glances and went back to closing their eyes without planning to say anything much.
The beautician was someone who knew how to judge situations. When she realized the other party refused to talk about it, she did not continue to ask.
Nina and Luca did not continue their conversation, while the chattering next door went on and on.
After Tia had chosen the beauty products, she lay down to enjoy the massage service provided by the beautician.
Sophia did the same. She moaned comfortably as the beautician massaged her.
Tia chuckled. She thought Sophia was just a country girl who had not seen the world, so she said, “Sophia, it’s been a while since you came out to work. You just don’t understand that you should treat
yourself better. Women must take good care of their skin so that we can attract a few more minutes of attention from those men.”
“Ms. Tia, I understand, but I can’t afford such high expenses with my pay,” replied Sophia.
Tia knew how much was her pay, so she did not have to pretend to be rich in front of her.
TIa shot a glance at her and said with frustration, “If you’d like to live a better life in the future, you must be willing to spend on yourself. As a woman, being beautiful is an advantage. Once you become beautiful, a good man will have his eyes on you. You can then hold a glamorous wedding. Are you still afraid that you’ll be broke in the future?”
Sophia agreed with her, but deep down in her heart, she was wondering what kind of logic that was. : owner of this content.
If everyone was able to have such spending power like Tia, of course, they would not need to worry about anything else—not to mention a man’s wealth. Would it not be better to live in style alone?
Tia was already rich enough, yet she still wanted to throw herself at Luke Crawford even when he was brushing her off. Were all the facials that she had done for nothing?
Of course, Sophia would only dare to say these to herself. She dared not to say them out loud.
“Sophia, women will need to find good husbands eventually. Even though these words sound irritating, it’s the honest truth for people like you. Take good care of yourself, then you’ll be given the right to choose instead of waiting for others to choose you in the future. Tell me, do my words make sense to you?”
“Yes, Miss Tia, you’ve got a point. It’s no surprise that Mr. Crawford likes you so much.” Sophia appeared to seemingly agree with her.
Sophia was Tia’s assistant, so she knew what her boss wanted to hear most.
Speaking of Luke Crawford, Tia put on a smile. “Oh, don’t be ridiculous. Luke and I are just close friends.”
“Mr. Crawford isn’t interested in psychology stuff but he still found time to come to your seminar. Ms. Tia, I think the feelings Mr. Crawford have for you aren’t just as simple as the feelings between friends,” Sophia continued to say.
Although Luke had left the seminar after listening for only five minutes, Tia was still talking about it endlessly.
She thought that it must be the privilege Luke had given to her. The only reason he merely managed to listen for five minutes was that something urgent came up in the company and he had to leave.
“I’ll be angry if you continue this nonsense. What if others misunderstand us again?” Tia smiled as she denied it. She had no intention of getting mad at Sophia. “Let me simplify this for you. We women must take good care of ourselves so that we can live a better life in the future. Sophia, do you understand?”
Nina, who was at the next door, could not help but smile after she heard that. She said, “Nonsense. If women have to depend on men, our lives will be ruined.”
Luca smiled when she heard Nina say that.
These days, women still had to be independent. It was more reliable than just depending on a man. She understood that well, so even when Luke appeared to be so in love with her back then, she still adhered to improving herself. She attended law courses and took qualification exams just to strengthen her capabilities.
Only when a woman was capable would she have the confidence to stand in front of a man.
Nina and Luca were also doing the luxury package. All of them started their facials at about the same time. When they were checking out, it was difficult to avoid running into Tia. Tia recognized Nina and Luca. She was wondering when both of them became good friends.
She knew Nina well. Back then when she was defending Bianca’s interests, she looked like she was looking for trouble with every woman who showed up beside Luke. Previously, Tia had tried to please her to get closer to Luke, but she refused to accept her.
Now, when Bianca was studying abroad, Nina was showing up around Luca as if she was monitoring Luke on behalf of Bianca.
Hence, Tia did not like Nina.
As for Luca, the woman who had a scandal with Luke previously, Tia hated her even more.
Tia looked at the both of them, greeting them in a smarmy manner. “What a coincidence. Did both of you come to get facials too?”
Nina was wearing her sunglasses, and she rolled her eyes. It was obvious that they had just finished their facials but Tia had put on her foundation and makeup again. It seemed like she did that just because her bare face did not look great at all. Nina smiled and replied, “Yes. After all, we women have to constantly improve our looks to attract a man’s attention. For the sake of a better life in the future and to become a young mistress easily, I came over to get a facial treatment. I have to take care of my skin when I have the time.”
Tia felt like those words sounded so familiar. It seemed like that was what she had said just now.
She pulled a long face instantly. They were right next to them just now? Both of them had heard everything she told Sophia?
Nina added, “As expected of an expert psychologist. I’m impressed with your professional life lessons.”
Tia smiled and took her bank card out. “I was just talking off the top of my head. The others certainly have different opinions on this.”
“But I agree with what you said.” Nina accepted the receipt handed by the cashier and left arm in arm with Luca.
After they left the beauty salon, Nina said, “She looks exactly like someone who thinks about someone else’s husband. How shameless it was of her to say such things. How can people like that be considered an expert psychologist? I think the people in the psychology field are blind.”
“Alright, let’s not care about her. Let’s hang around here. I saw a bubble tea shop nearby. It’s been a long time since I had bubble tea. Care to join me?” Luca was not interested in Tia’s affair.
It was no longer a secret that Tia was interested in Luke, and now that Luke happened to be interested in her too, Luca did not want to think about it anymore.
