Chapter 74 Meet ine Again
The next day, after work, J went to a shopping mall nearby.
It was on the most bustlingmercial street in the city. Some kind of a fun activity was going on in
the shopping mall. Many children were performing on the stage as people cheered and pped for
them.
When J entered the mall, she was almost knocked down by the crowd. Suddenly, a strong hand
gripped her arm and pulled her back.
J turned around and saw Christopher smiling at her. He was wearing a denim blue shirt and
matching jeans. "Be careful. Otherwise, they might drag you to the stage to perform." "Thank you,
Chris." J smiled sheepishly as she smoothed her bangs. "Why are you here?"
"I went to the grocery store nearby and bought some daily necessities." Christopher lifted his bags
and waved them at her. "What about you?" he asked, arching an eyebrow.
"Well, I came to pick up a gift for my husband." J looked away as a blush med her cheeks.
The smile on Christopher''s face vanished in an instant. His heart sank with dejection. He quickly
forced a smile, trying to look normal. "Why didn''t you bring your husband with you? Do you need my
advice?"
Christopher seldom got the chance to be with J alone. Therefore, he wanted to stay with her,
even though it meant he had to help her pick a gift for her husband.
Afraid that Ethan might not like her choice of gift, J thought it might be a good idea to get a
man''s opinion. After a moment''s thought, she nodded. "Okay. Thank you, Chris."
The two strolled into an opulent leather product store.
ncing around, Christopher picked up a reddish-brown leather wallet and handed it to J. "The
wallets here are good. What do you think?"
"Yes, I love the color." J''s eyes lit up. "You have good taste, Chris."
Christopher smiled bitterly.
The two of them were busy examining the wallet, so they didn''t see ine staring at them through
the ss door.
ine had juste out of a clothing store opposite the leather shop. The blood on her face
drained when she saw J and Christopher interacting with such intimacy.
''Are they together?'' she wondered.
ine couldn''t find a satisfactory job after she got fired from the Larson Group. She had no choice
but to work for a smallpany to make ends meet.
Her pathetic life only made her hate J even more. She felt the woman had ruined her bright
future.
Bile rose in her throat when she saw J and Christopher shopping happily in the mall.
She felt that J was a slut, who must have seduced Christopher after joining the Larson Group.
Just as J and Christopher were busy choosing the right wallet, they heard ine''s voice. "Hi!
What a surprise to run into you two here!"
After a short pause, J forced a smile. "ine! Long time no see."
It was a small world, after all.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.
Since Christopher was not familiar with ine, he greeted her with a polite ''Hello''.
"Would you like to have dinner with me? We three haven''t seen each other for a long time. After all,
we used to be schoolmates. And Lind, I want to apologize for what happened before. I
misunderstood you."
ine shook her head sadly and looked around as if she had no intention of leaving.
"No, I''m going home for dinner." J smiled politely.
She was aware of ine''s hypocrisy.
Moreover, her rtionship with ine wasn''t good enough to have dinner with her.
Christopher didn''t bother beating around the bush, so he bluntly said, "ine, I don''t think we are
close enough to have dinner together."
ine''s face flushed with embarrassment. She remained silent.
With that, J and Christopher put down the wallets, intending to leave.
However, as soon as J arrived at the door, the anti-theft sensor on the door instantly turned red
and began to beep aloud, startling everyone.
