“Let it go, sis,” Bea said. “I heard Trina is still single until now. No husband, no kids. Poor thing. Such a waste—you were Valedictorian back then, but look at us now, housewives of successful businessmen!”
Trina quietly sat in a corner.
“You know, Trina,” Vanessa added, showing off her large ring, “my husband is a Senior Manager at Apex Global. His salary is huge! That’s why I can buy anything I want. What about you? What do you even do? You don’t look very successful.”
Trina simply smiled. “I’m happy with my life, Vanessa. I keep things simple.”
“Simple? Or maybe a failure?” Bea mocked. “At least our futures are secure. Oh, by the way, our husbands are coming to pick us up. We’ll introduce you so you can finally see what a truly successful man looks like.”
A few moments later, their husbands’ cars arrived. Two men in suits entered the ballroom.
“Honey! Over here!” Vanessa waved at her husband, Mike.
“Babe!” Bea called out to her husband, Rick.
Vanessa bragged immediately. “Girls, this is Mike. He’s a Manager at Apex Global. And Rick is the VP of Sales.”
