"He's around a hundred and eighty- five centimeters tall, and seventy-five kilograms. Please get the size accordingly," Hendrix's suits were customized, and they were tailored according to the measurements.
I couldn't recall the exact measurements at the moment, so I told her those that I remembered.
The shop assistant got the suits in the size I wanted and wrapped them up while I paid. I was about to leave after I took over the suits from the shop assistant.
Then was when I saw a couple enter the store hand in hand. The woman looked somewhat familiar, so I glanced over at them a few times more before I finally recognized who she was.
It was Kelsey!
I was quite surprised to meet her here. I thought that I wouldn't be able to see her again after she left Roberts Group.
Kelsey seemed surprised to see me here too. She walked towards me and greeted me, her face full of mixed emotions. "Miss Reid, what a coincidence to meet you here. Are you also
here to buy clothes?"
Her eyes quickly glanced at the shopping bag in my hand.
I nodded and gave her a soft smile. "I'm just walking around. How have you been lately?"
As I said, I shifted my eyes to the man beside Kelsey. It was Calvin.
I nodded to him with a faint smile as greetings.
Kelsey looked better than before. It seemed that she had been living a good life after she left the Roberts Group.
"Well, we have been busy preparing for our wedding." Then, abashed, she continued, "I heard that you were fired because of the auditing issue in Advancer Tech and Roberts Group. I'm sorry, Miss Reid. I didn't expect things to turn out like this."
I curled my lips slightly. To be honest, I didn't mind it. "It's alright. I'm now staying at home to prepare for childbirth. I'll have to leave Roberts Group in the end anyway."
There was no need to probe into what roles Kelsey and Calvin played in that matter. The only thing I had to do now was to move forward.
Then, my rounded belly caught Kelsey's eyes. She exclaimed in surprise, "It's so big now.
How far along are you in the pregnancy? Did anyone come with you?"
I shook my head. We talked a bit more before I excused myself.
Out of instinct, I got up to follow them. Yet before I even got to the other side, Calvin had gotten into the car and left with the middle-aged man.
I hailed a taxi on the roadside to tail them.
"Ma'am, you're pregnant. Why are you tracking this man? Is he your husband?" the taxi driver asked while driving.
I answered absent-mindedly, focusing on the car in the front. I then asked the driver to follow them closely.
We tailed the black Maserati until it entered the villa area in the north of the city. The taxi driver pulled the car and turned to look at me. "Only private cars are allowed into Golden Scale Villa, Ma'am. We can't go in!"
I nodded and got out of the taxi after I paid the fare.
I went to ask the guard but failed to get any information.
After pondering for a while, I called Evelyn. It didn't take her long to answer my call. "Hello, Mrs. Roberts!"
"Hello, Mrs. Hammer. I'm sorry to disturb you at this time. I'd like to ask you about something personal. Are you free to talk now?"
