Chapter 840


    ?


    Natalie hooked an arm around Skr''s and walked out with her. She hadn''t noticed Jeremy''s change in expression. His eyes were stuck to her as she left.


    Jeremy didn''t even realize when Helena sidled up to him.


    Not only did that woman know Jeremy, but she also knew Joe and Skr. That was her name, wasn''t it?


    In addition, Jeremy looked at her in a weird way. It was as though he couldn''t see anyone else when he was staring at her. Her instinct gged Natalie out as a threat. She said, "Mr. Hughes, let''s continue shopping." Jeremy shook himself out of his daydream. He looked down to hide his red-rimmed eyes. Then, he said," That''s enough shopping for today. Let''s go."


    He turned to Joe and added, "I''ll take my leave now."


    Joe nodded. He nced at Helena thoughtfully. Then, he walked out.


    Natalie and Skr walked into a shop selling male clothes.


    "I don''t have much savings. I can''t gift Mr. Powell luxury suits. However, I can manage a tie. You''ve got great taste. Help me pick one."


    Austin''s birthday was in a few days. Everyone in thepany secretly prepared gifts for him.


    Natalie hade to the mall to pick a gift out. Initially, she nned to take pictures and send them to Skr to select one. She was surprised to find out Skr was in the mall. This was even better.


    Skr was relieved to realize Natalie truly didn''t care that Jeremy had a new girlfriend. She focused on selecting ties with Natalie and asked, "How about this one?"


    "This one looks good. However, it doesn''t look like something Mr. Powell would wear. On the other hand, it looks like Mr. Martin''s style. Why don''t you buy one for him? You''re already here, after all," suggested, Natalie.


    Skr thought of how Joe had just paid for her clothes. A tie would be an adequate token of exchange. "I would like this one." Skr pointed it out to the promoter standing there. She continued, "Help me bag it up." Then, she continued helping Natalie pick a gift.


    It didn''t look like Natalie had a favorite one. She chatted with Skr. "Jeremy has got a new crush, and I''m really happy for him. I''ve made sense of things. I''ve got to look to the future rather than get lost in the past.


    "When I reflect upon our time


    together, I realize that Jeremy and I


    aren''t really suited for each other.


    I''ve heard of Helena. She''s professional and hardworking. Her career hasn''t been smooth sailing


    for the past six or seven years. She''s probably an excellent woman.


    "It looks like you''ve let go of your rtionship with Jeremy. Skr believed Natalie had grown and changed.


    Natalie was exposed to many new experiences since getting to know Austin. She opened herself to the wonders of the world.


    She nodded and replied, "At the start,


    I couldn''t get past what happened. However, I''ve opened my mind to possibilities since the divorce Skr, love isn''t the only thing in one''s life. Look, no matter what


    happens, you''ll always be my best friend! Mr. Powell is a great boss, and Hank is a great manager


    "My parents have stopped worrying about me. They even began following Mr. Powell''s career closely Everything is proceeding in a great direction." Jeremy was also moving forward.


    Everyone was safe and happy with their own life trajectory and goals. Wasrit that awesome?


    The two women browsed through a few more shops. In the end, Natalie selected a woolen scarf. He could


    .n


    wrap it around him on nes. would also be useful when winter rolled around, thus making it an extremely practical gift.


    Joe didn''t drink coffee in the end. At this hour, it would jeopardize his quality of sleep.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.

    He stood outside the mall and smoked.


    His heart sank when he thought of how things were going on between Joe and Skr. Before he realized it, he''d gone through four cigarettes.


    When Skr came out, she saw Joe smoking. He seemed to be in a bad mood.


    Joe looked up and saw Skr. He asked, "Are you done shopping?"


    "Yeah, Natalie ran into a colleague. They''re going to shop for a while more. Let''s head home."


    Skr recalled the tie she''d bought. She handed the bag to him and said, "There''s a tie inside. Have a look


    at it and see whether it''s to your liking. If you don''t like it, I''ll go back and exchange it for another one."


    Surprised shed across Joe''s icy orbs. Then, his eyes lit up with mirth. He said, "I''ll take a look.” The tie had been packaged beautifully.
