Cordy had no idea how many times they ran into each other by chance since yesterday.
And judging from the look in Lucas’s eyes, she knew that he must be thinking that she was following him.
She promptly put a hand around Sean’s arm, who appeared surprised by her action.
Cordy had never taken the initiative in the years since he met her.
The sudden gesture made him smile, and the smile turned gloating as he turned to see Lucas.
At the same time, Cordy scowled a little—Lucas had never been nice to her, and he was even prejudiced against her just because she allowed her eyes to linger on him a little yesterday at Maron's backstage lounge.
Still, leaving a good impression was unnecessary when it came to strangers. So, she simply kept her hands around Sean and strode past Lucas.
A shop assistant promptly received them, but Cordy didn’t have any style in mind since she just needed something warm. Thus, she told the shop assistant to pick a clothing article for her at random.
The shop assistant naturally did so, and promptly whipped out three designer styles while saying, "I think these three would fit you, ma'am. Oh, and this one comes in a couple's set. Would you like your partner to try it?"
Cordy glanced through them and said, "No, it's fine. Just pack up the lady's one for me."
"Of course. The payment desk is this way, ma'am," the shop assistant gestured respectfully.
"I'll pay," Sean said, following them.
Cordy didn’t refuse, since Sean was plenty rich and wouldn’t miss the money.
The international mall was for luxury items, and the heater was plenty warm.
