?Chapter 1268:


    After stepping out of the stall, shethered her hands with soap at the sink when a voice suddenly came. “Ms. Wright.”


    Belinda lifted her head.


    The voice was a bit unfamiliar.


    Looking up, she saw the woman’s reflection in the mirror.


    It was Zaria, the same woman she had seen at the restaurant the day before.


    “Hello,” Belinda said, nodding slightly as she washed her hands.


    “Could I have a word with you, Belinda?” Zaria asked.


    “What do you want to say to me?” Belinda inquired, turning towards her.


    Zaria hesitated, then said, “Could we talk in the lounge next door? It’s not ideal to have a conversation here in the restroom with the constant flow of people.” Remembering something, she added, “It’ll only take a few minutes.”


    After a moment’s consideration, Belinda agreed.


    She dried her hands and followed Zaria to the adjacent lounge, which was conveniently empty.


    Once seated, Zaria dove right in and said, “You and Mr. rk are together now, aren’t you?”


    She had seen Belinda and Lucas at Wondend earlier in the day, wearing matching outfits, which had led her to deduce their rtionship status. Honestly, seeing Lucas in that outfit,plete with a cute headband, had truly surprised her.


    She had never imagined Lucas would wear something like that just for Belinda.


    This revealed to her just how important Belinda was to Lucas.

    “Why do you ask?” Belinda countered, not answering the question directly.


    Zaria smiled and said, “It’s nothing serious, I’m just envious. Mr. rk seems like a great man. You’re really lucky to have someone like him as your boyfriend.”


    Belinda looked at her with a puzzled expression.


    Was this really why Zaria had approached her?


    It couldn’t be this simple.


    Before Belinda could respond, Zaria added, “Since you’re with Mr. rk, you’re not interested in anyone else, right?”


    After a pause, she said, “Just a piece of friendly advice—I hope you maintain appropriate boundaries with other men. Otherwise, I’m sure Mr. rk would get jealous.”


    This, Belinda realized, was Zaria’s true intention.


    She knew that to pursue Darwin, Zaria needed to focus on him, but she also felt she needed to be cautious of Belinda.


    Some women, despite having a boyfriend, liked to keep other options open. Zaria believed Belinda could be this kind of woman, and she needed to make things clear with her.
