Mr Billionaire's Regret Chasing His Irresistible Wife (Jared and Arielle) novel Chapter 103

(SOFIA’S POV)

I arrived at "Elegance," a popular unisex fashion clothing shop patronized only by the rich. Being a regular caller, I was treated well as I walked to the female section to shop for new arrivals.

"Welcome back, Sofia, "Jenna, the sales manager said, approaching me with a smile.

"Hi, Jenna. Just browsing new arrivals," I replied, scanning the racks.

"We have some lovely pieces from the latest collections," she said, leading me to the designer section.

After selecting a few dresses and trying them on, I made my final choices. At the checkout counter, Jenna summed up my purchases.

"Total comes to $10,000," she announced.

I handed over my black card, and she withdrew the amount. Afterward, I pulled out wads of bills from my purse and handed them to her. "Here, for being a nice girl."

"Thank you. Bye," she called out.

I nodded and walked out, bearing the shopping bags. Getting into the Bentley, I felt a thrill, and I suddenly craved speed.

It gave me a surge of adrenaline to be behind the wheels of such a powerful car. Besides, I didn't get to drive it all the time; it was my first time precisely, as Jared had been really selfish with the car since he got it, considering how expensive it was.

I began speeding, loving the way the cool breeze blew my hair in the car. Soon, I got lost in the moment, and before I realized it, a pedestrian was in front of me. In an attempt to avoid hitting the person, I swerved to the left, bumping into an oncoming car in the other lane.

"No!" I exclaimed, scared and shocked.

The Bentley's front bumper was squeezed, and the sound of shattering glass rented the air.

My heart did a summersault in my chest.

What had I done?

I quickly alighted from the car to assess the damage done. The bumper was badly damaged, and the front headlight was broken with shattered glasses littering the floor.

I stood at the spot, my chest heaving in anger as I watched them talk. Almost immediately, the lady returned, casting a condescending look.

"You're lucky my friend thinks you're not worth spending our precious time on, so I'll let you go."

I felt insulted and embarrassed, but something about the lady made me pause in my barrage of insults. As I looked at her properly, I felt a sudden spark of recognition.

"Have I seen you somewhere before?" I asked, against my wish, my voice softening slightly.

The lady smiled coldly, her chin shooting up. "It's best if you forgot. I will take it that today is my bad luck day. We will never see each other again."

With that, she turned and returned to her car. I watched, stunned, as they drove away. Unlike me, who never gave up on a fight easily, I surprisingly didn't want to argue further.

As the car disappeared into the distance, I tried to get a glimpse of the other woman. But it was no use. She remained mysterious, hidden behind the tinted car windows.

I sighed and tore my gaze away as I walked back to the Bentley, taking out my phone. I dialed Jared's number, waiting for him to pick up.
