"You did what?" I shouted in disbelief stomping the table in front of me.
"Slapped Liam," Eleanor repeated murmuring. "...but in my defense he almost killed me!"
My eyes widened still trying to understand how did my little sister change into a lioness all of a sudden?
"I'm sorry, sissy! I just couldn't control my hands. As soon as I see his face they just can't stop themselves from hitting him!" She added biting her lips as if imagining the scene again.
"What else did you do in just a single day?" I folded my arms across my chest.
"Managed to attract Noah's attention and make people feel he could be interested in me—unintentionally." She raised her hand in the air emphasizing the last word, "I swear, I didn't even know how it happened."
"Oh good God!" I gasped falling back into my chair.
"I'm sorry, sissy!" She added biting her nails.
I slapped her hand lightly to remove her nails away from her teeth and asked again pestering a smile on my lips to avoid the frustration, "What else?"
Eleanor copied my expressions and after a deep pause, finally decided to drop another bomb, "There's a very- very faint chance, Ryan Bennette has got his eyes on me." She said covering her face completely as I lost my balance hearing the final shock from her, or so I thought.
"Ryan is a psychopath. Liam will kill him for that!" I stressed.
"Why would Liam kill him? I don't care about that i***t! What if Ryan kills me?" Eleanor panicked too whining weirdly.
"How long have you been here girl?" I finally asked out allowing my face to turn dense, "How can you do all this just in a single day span?"
"Oh, there's more." She said all of a sudden.
I bit my lips to control my self from yelling out loud, "What?"
She stood up from her seat, walked across the table and sat beside me as she leaned on my shoulder side hugging me, "Don't worry, it's not a big deal." She assured.
"Tell me, what it is exactly," I asked mustering up all the courage I had left to hear what else could she have probably ruined. It's not like she could have sold her own name.
"I kind of told everyone that my name is Riri." She said smiling slyly.
"What's wrong in that?" I asked expecting a bigger blunder before figuring out myself the blunder she actually created was much worse than I had thought.
"You told everyone you're Riri, just Riri not Eleanor Relandi? The rumored girlfriend of Liam Martin?" I questioned getting up from my seat in disbelief.
She stood up too, biting her lips and slowly nodded her head. "It was Lele's idea. I swear!" She said before pushing Lele forward and running away.
This girl!
