"Ah! If he givesa way out, should I just take it? Do you think I'm that cheap? Am I really what people say I am? Am I just a pushover?" Lauren said indignantly.

"See, I told you! Finally, someone who understands me." Lauren sighed. "You think I did nothing wrong, right, Chlo? Right?" Ivanna glanced at me, looking a little displeased. Then, she said, " Lauren, I have a question for you." Lauren gave her a sidelong glance. "What?" She had probably guessed what Ivanna was going to ask.
