Ten years later

BPOV

Not again!

I was waiting for the elevator when I noticed Edward Cullen coming there with his arms wrapped around the waist of a pretty brunette.

"Oh that's interesting." he said to her. He had noticed me, but decided to ignore my presence completely.

Huh! That was rude! He could have at least smiled at me!

Edward and I came across each other from time to time at various business conferences nowadays. In fact, now that I was done with my crush on him, we didn't have the awkwardness we shared years ago. We were quite cordial with each other now.

"Yeah I'm too much into technology." The woman said, "Whenever any new app is available for using the filters and all that, I'm the first one to know."

Oh, this was her definition of "Too much into technology."

"Wow! That's great." Edward said.

Really?

"Yeah like, people tell me you're too pretty to know any kind of intellectual stuff, but I love technology." she said.

Like, really? Didn't he used to have higher standards earlier?

"I'd totally agree with them." he said as we all entered the elevator, "Considering your non-tech background, this is really, really impressive!"

I rolled my eyes. Was he so desperate to get in her in his bed? I mean, judging by the way she was looking at him, she might have agreed anyway!

"You're too hot for a tech guy, by the way," she said.

"Thanks, I'm flattered," he chuckled artificially.

I rolled my eyes again.

Well, a lot seemed to have changed in these ten years. Now he didn't seem to give a damn if they had got brains or not!

They were about to go out as the elevator stopped when he quickly turned his face around and mouthed at me, "I know she is stupid, okay?"

I shook my head and laughed.
