Tiffany finally noticed a certain someone at the staircase with a sullen expression on his face. How could she have forgotten it was the weekend?! Mark was usually home during the weekend. She suppressed the embarrassment she felt and shamelessly rolled her eyes. “I’m speaking the truth. I’m glad that he heard me!”
Mark did not argue with her. He stepped forward and touched Arianne’s forehead. “Remember to put on an extra layer of clothes. Don’t catch a cold. I’ll take you to your prenatal examination in the next two days.”
Arianne was not used to his concern. She lowered her head awkwardly. “Mm…”
Tiffany lifted her wrist to check the time on her watch. “I’ve gotta go, Ari. I promised to go shopping with a colleague. Would you like me to get you anything? I can bring it over.”
Arianne shook her head. “No. You go on ahead.”
Tiffany giggled as she put on a show and talked to the baby in Arianne’s belly. “Bye-bye, I’ll see you again soon…”
...
After leaving the Tremont Estate, she drove to meet Aye at the shopping mall. She drove the Audi that she already had. She did not dare to use any of Jackson’s cars. She would not be able to enjoy her shopping trip if her vehicle was too luxurious.
As soon as she met Aye, Aye pulled her to a branded mobile phone counter. “I’ve been wanting to change my phone for a while now, Tiffany. Is this a good brand? I’ve seen you use this brand.”
“It’s definitely reliable,” Tiffany patted her chest and confidently said, “I’ve always used this brand. You should definitely get it. Let’s go have lunch at noon. I’ll take you somewhere nice.”
Aye was terrified. She said softly, “I heard that the sales assistants for luxury brands like that are snobs. Won’t they be disgusted by us if we don’t buy anything? It’ll be too embarrassing if they roll their eyes at us… Let’s not go over there.”
Tiffany was annoyed with her dawdling. “I’m not afraid of anything. Why should I be afraid of someone rolling their eyes at me? I’m going to have a look…” However, before she could finish her sentence, a familiar figure entered her sight. It was Jackson, who was supposed to be working overtime!
She instinctively pulled Aye with her and hid in a clothing store next door.
Aye had spotted Jackson as well. She muttered, “Why are we hiding? We’re off the clock. Mr. West won’t be concerned with what we do during our free time, right? What’s Mr. West doing in the women’s section anyway? Do you think he’s here with his fianceé?”
