Say Goodbye to the Ex,Welcome to the New Life
Chapter 5
Right after we walked out of the wedding venue, Anthony gave me a thumbs-up and praised me with shining eyes, "Opal, you're amazing. If you enter showbiz, everyone else will be unemployed."
I was quite flattered.
Feeling a little embarrassed by his praise, I patted his shoulder. "Anthony, you have great potential in acting. I'll transfer the money to you."
I initiated a transfer to Anthony on WhatsApp, but he refused, "It's nothing. I'm glad to know you, Opal."
But I already made a promise, and he agreed to take my money. How could he refuse now?
I insisted on giving Anthony the money, but he disagreed, "Opal, don't forget about me. You may treat me to a meal when you're free."
I was puzzled. How come 9,999 dollars couldn't be compared to a meal?
But seeing him stick to his decision, I had no choice but to accept it.
Walking around with a big belly was quite inconvenient, so I waved goodbye to him.
Just as I took a few steps, I heard his voice from behind. "Opal..."
I turned my head in confusion only to see him in the breeze waving at me, looking in high spirits. "You haven't personally told me your full name yet."
Oh, that was right. He helped me so much, but I didn't even tell him my full name.
He attached great importance to the sense of ceremony, I guessed.
So, I turned around and formally introduced myself to him, "Nice to meet you, Anthony Atkinson. I'm Opal Johnston."
His smile made my heart skip a beat.
