The two walked out with grim expressions on their faces.
When they reached the door, Joanna Lawrence called out to them.
Lillian White turned around and snarled, "What else do you want to say?"
Joanna tilted her head, her gaze falling on the bag Lillian was carrying, and said airily, "You can leave, but leave the stuff behind. My boyfriend gave you those gifts because he thought we were close friends. Since we’re no longer friends, please return the gifts."
Both Lillian White and Gretchen Skerit took the set of skincare products with them when they left.
"Hehe, I thought you guys were so high and mighty. You criticize me for this and that, but why do you still have the face to take the gifts? Where’s your integrity now?" Aria Rowlett had been angered by the two and naturally wouldn’t miss this chance to ridicule them.
The expressions on the faces of the two at the door changed.
Gretchen Skerit, who still had some integrity, threw the bag on the ground coldly: "Here, I don’t want it."
But Lillian White was unwilling to return it.
She said confidently, "Why should I return a gift I’ve been given? This set of makeup products was given to me by you and is now mine. How I deal with it is my business."
Aria was shocked by her shamelessness.
Even Joanna had to admit that it wasn’t until today that she truly understood her two roommates of three years.
After saying her piece, Lillian White left the private room with the bag, holding Gretchen Skerit’s hand.
Watching the two leave the private room, Aria Rowlett couldn’t help but swear: "I never thought Lillian White could be so shameless. I never saw her as this type of person before. And Gretchen Skerit, who would have thought she’d be so dark-hearted."
"I’ve been in the same dorm room with them for three years, and I haven’t understood them at all."
"Same here." Joanna smiled sarcastically, "I originally thought that even if we couldn’t be good friends, at least we could coexist peacefully. Now it seems that I was too naïve."
Should she thank Ashton Heath for this?
After all, his dinner allowed her to see the true colors of the two.
"Joanna, don’t be too upset. You should be thankful that you saw their true colors in time. From now on, you won’t need to waste time and emotions on them."
"Yeah, I know." Joanna wasn’t very sad, just a little disappointed.
They were never really good friends to begin with.
Just as Aria Rowlett said, she should be thankful that she saw their true colors through this dinner.
"So now..." Aria Rowlett looked at the table full of dishes, her face pained, "How are the two of us supposed to finish all this food?"
Joanna frowned as well.
Compared to Aria, she was in even more agony.
After all, she would be the one settling the bill later.
No matter how hard the two of them tried to eat, they still left a lot of food behind.
In the end, Joanna called the waiter over and had them pack up a few untouched dishes.
When she asked for the leftovers to be packed, she felt a little embarrassed.
No one who came to such a high-end place would pack up the leftover food.
She could bet that she was the first to do so.
When the waiter heard that she wanted to pack up the leftovers, he was taken aback at first, but quickly said respectfully, "Okay, Ms. Joanna, please wait a moment."
After packing, the two went to the counter to pay the bill.
The cashier smiled and said, "Miss Joanna, someone has already paid for your bill."
Joanna was surprised: "Already paid?"
