Chapter 125
When Gevena arrived, she brought along Janice. They looked at me and immediately asked, "How are
you? He didn't give you any more trouble after he left, did he?"
I filled them in on what had happened and Gevena clapped in approval. "If it wasn't for you saying we
could still use her, I would've taken care of her myself, let her have a taste of real life," she said.
"We can take our time. She's a great weapon to use against Marissa!" I hinted.
Janice sighed heavily, full of regret. "If my sister was as smart as you, she wouldn't be in her current
state, caught between life and death."
I gave a bitter smile. "After a close brush with death, how could I not learn my lesson? In a way, your
sister is luckier than me. Irving only married Olivia, while Jaylan brought me a whole group of
mistresses who want to kill me. If I didn't fight back, I'd be chewed up in no time."
We all shared a knowing smile and Gevena suggested, "Let's go somewhere to sit and talk. This is
hardly the place for a discussion."
We were just about to leave when Janice suddenly pulled me back. I followed her gaze and felt a surge
of joy.
At the same time, Catherine spotted two people not far away and laughed playfully, "Oh my, what do
we have here..."
Gevena reacted the fastest, quickly dragging us into a boutique. She whispered something to a
salesgirl, who then hurried off.
The store manager recognized Gevena and quickly invited us to sit down, pouring us each a cup of
coffee.
Twenty minutes later, the salesgirl came running back, handing her phone to Gevena. Gevena thanked
her and opened a video on the phone, casually placing it on the coffee table.
We all crowded around to watch.
The video showed Marissa, who I had just seen, being held by a tall, young man. He was quite
handsome, but his demeanor screamed 'scoundrel'. He was laughing flirtatiously with Marissa, his
hand wrapped around her inappropriately.
"Are you sure about this one?" Marissa asked, her voice full of charm.
"Honey, I love the color blue!" the man replied, his voice sounding rather pleasant.
Upon hearing this, Marissa glanced at him approvingly and told the salesgirl, "I'll take the blue set."
The salesgirl beamed, quickly wrapping up the clothes Marissa had chosen and complimented, "Miss,
you have great taste. This gentleman is perfectly suited for this color. It's too sophisticated for most
men, but it enhances his good looks."
Janice snorted disdainfully, "What a flatterer! This is nothing more than a gold-digger."
The salesgirl quickly suggested, "Miss, why don't you pick out a light-colored tie? Our ties are of the
highest quality and they would go perfectly with this suit."
In the video, Marissa glanced at the tie section and the man quickly agreed. They walked over to the tie
section, which was filled with a dazzling array of ties. The man picked out an ivory-colored tie, which
was quickly wrapped up by the sales girl.
The salesgirl then suggested, "Miss, why don't you take a look at our shoes? They're very important to
the overall look and can enhance or diminish the impact of the suit."
I had to give the salesgirl a thumb up, because she was a great at her job. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Marissa seemed hesitant, replying in a noncommittal tone, "Maybe next time. We have other errands to
run."
The man immediately cozied up to her, pleading softly, "Honey, I really don't have shoes that match this
suit. Could you... help me out?"
Marissa gave him a sidelong glance, her smile a bit strained. The man quickly spun her around,
directing her attention to the shoe section.
