Doris arrived in her hometown, all happy and successful. She gathered all her classmates and girlfriends in a café and even paid for the whole table. Sitting there so important, in expensive clothes, beautiful jewelry, manicure, styling.
– How did you manage to become so important?
– Yes, tell гі, Doris. At school, you was so shy, I didn’t go out with anyone. All the time she dreamed of her own, and now everything has really come true.
And then Doris began her incredible story. Like, in a small town like this, there is nothing to catch. It is necessary to go to the capital or another large metropolis. That’s what she did after school. She lived in the capital and worked as a waitress in an expensive restaurant. There she was noticed by a rich man. Although he was older, but not by much. She was 20 and he was 38.
A stormy romance began, he bought her any gifts that Doris asked for. However, there was one nuance, he was married. But he was ready to file for divorce to be with Doris.
– So, he divorced his wife? – asked his friends surprised.
– No, I’m not that selfish. He had not just a wife, but also a child. I did not want to destroy the family.
– And the fact that you were having an affair behind his wife’s back, did it not destroy the family? – Maggie asked
– No, it did not affect the child. And if you are so jealous, I will ask you to keep your reproaches to yourself.
– Maggie, don’t interrupt Doris. Go on, continue the story, – my friends asked.
This man eventually signed the apartment over to Doris and moved with his wife to another city. Later Doris met another young man. He was the son of an oligarch. He began to teach her to drive and eventually gave her a cool car as a wedding present. They went to Bali for their honeymoon. They ate exotic fruits, went to the beach, had massages using local technologies. It was like a fairy tale.
– Why don’t you have any photos from the vacation? There is no information in the social network, – Maggie asked.
– Because happiness loves silence. Why should I post what I see every day, it’s just losers showing off with photos, – Doris replied.
Maggie felt uncomfortable, her friends began to whisper about her envy. It just did not fit in her head how everything could be so easy and simple. Moreover, Doris is not so beautiful.
Maggie went home. A friend from another city had just arrived to visit her husband.
– Why are you so sad, sit down with us at the table, – the man began. Maggie told about Doris’ successful life. And the man’s friend recognized Doris by some signs.
– What capital, she lives in my city. She works in a women’s clothing store, in the evenings I see her standing at the bus stop after work. Waiting for the bus.
– Where did she get such expensive clothes and jewelry?
– Maybe she takes them from this store, but does not take the tag off to put them back in the window.
Maggie was relieved. She knew Doris was lying. Maggie didn’t tell the rest of her friends the truth. They will think that she deliberately made it up out of jealousy, but the main thing is that Maggie knows the truth.
