“So who was that you were chatting away so secretively with, hmm?” Lucia asked, blowing gently on her cappuccino.
“New boyfriend you have been holding out about telling your dearest friend Lucia?”
Jacqueline rolled her eyes good-naturedly. “You’re terrible. That was my university mate Adam whom I called up in Johannesburg.
We got to talking about you actually...”
She went on to relate how Adam was apparently quite the fan of Lucia’s modeling work without her knowledge.
Lucia looked immediately intrigued. “Oh? And is this Adam perhaps as dashing as he sounds on the phone?”
“Well I’ve always found him rather handsome,” Jacqueline shrugged. “Those dark soulful eyes and sharp dress sense certainly turn heads at the mall.”
“Let me see then!” Lucia exclaimed.
“If we are to have him visit during my stay, I must approve him as suitable for our charming trio of course.”
