ULTERIOR MOTIVES!

"You saw that?"

"I did." Lisa said with a shrug. And when she saw Dove look at her with squinted eyes, she chuckled before waving her hand, "Don't worry. I won't tell anyone of that. And not to mention, seeing you do that was quite a lot satisfying. Last day, I almost cursed you for being so stupid. But it seems you are more than you show, hihi."

Dove's lips curled up to a smirk, and she shrugged before saying, "It is not as if I am scared of people knowing about what I did. Even if you tell them." And hearing her say that, Lisa laughed and nodded her head, "Yes. Yes. I know you are not scared of them knowing. All you don't want is unwanted attention towards you." And that hit the bull's eye point. Exactly what Dove wanted.

 

The girls resumed their steps, and after a moment of silence between them, Dove asked, "Anyway, what do you want from me?" Lisa blinked before she gasped, covering her mouth dramatically and looked at Dove accusingly, "Just because I am trying to be friendly with you, you can't just accuse me of having ulterior motives!"

Dove looked at her face, but she did not say anything and only smiled. Well, Dove was smart enough at least that Lisa had something in her mind going on, while approaching her. She took so much interest in her that she even took the liberty to dig her family background.

 

Though Dove wasn't saying that she had harmful ulterior motives, but she definitely had something in mind. And that Lisa too understood looking at that smile. Otherwise, how come she took interested on her, after a whole year of being in the same class all of a sudden? From what she knew, Lisa was a very extrovert person, she did not lack friends.

 

Though, she was also a scholarship student, but her carefree nature and charm attracted a lot of friends.

The fake wronged expression on Lisa's face soon turned into a grin and she hooked her arms against Dove's at once, and said, "Well, you are right! I do have something in mind~ It is nothing bad though. I want something from you!"

 

Dove raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you need? How can I help you?" Lisa turned towards her, and after a moment she said, "Be my friend."

"Eh?" For a moment, Dove thought that maybe she heard something wrong. Be friends? That is what she need from me? She thought bewilderedly.

 

Dove saw Lisa beaming and she said, "Yes! Listen, I know you have no friends in the class. And though I hang out with a lot of people, I wouldn't consider anyone of them to be my close friends. Seeing you, and observing you made me feel as if I can trust you with myself. And what is better is that, you are soon going to inherit Sterling Corporations! What would be better than having a rich friend! And I don't have a family with generational wealth. So, you can help me get a nice job perhaps too~ Or just being friends with me would do. MOREOVER! You are a gorgeous woman, and I have a thing for good looking women! See, I am a pretty looking girl too! We would really make a fabulous duo! Just think about it~"

 

Dove stared at the girl with her mouth hanging open. She for a moment doubted the clear words she heard that came out of Lisa's mouth. What in the world!

Though she knew a lot of friendships happen with people's own motives behind it. Even a lot of people tried to approach Dove just of the sake of a family, and status. And Dove knew that. But for the first time, she met someone who was so unapologetically open about it!
