Her breath was mildly taken away when they arrived at the West family residence. The house certainly wasn’t considered cheap in the capital. Every detail of it displayed traces of history. These were the kinds of things that were considered priceless. She couldn’t help pausing and admiring the hundred year old tree in the garden. The tree alone would cost a hefty price.
“You can come back as often as you like,” Jackson joked teasingly.
“Pfft… Yeah, right.” Tiffany rolled her eyes at him and stomped right in with her high heeled shoes, as if she wasn’t ladylike at all. This was her plan — the more Mrs. West disliked her, the better.
Summer West was sitting in the living room, drinking tea when they entered. She was carrying a light grey poodle in her arms. When she saw Tiffany, she said with a half-smile, “She certainly has an attitude. It’s better than pretending to be a delicate little flower.”
Tiffany’s entire head was filled with black lines. With her IQ, she couldn’t tell if Mrs. West was making an ironic remark or if she was being sincere.
She walked to the sofa across from Mrs. West and sat right down. “What a beautiful dog, Mrs. West. You must have spent a lot of effort in its maintenance.”
Summer West rolled her eyes at Jackson. “That’s right. I have no grandchildren to play with and I’m bored. So I have no choice but to have a dog. How long have you and Jackson been together?”
“It hasn’t been that long.” Tiffany replied, “We’re still getting to know each other. We don’t know each other intimately yet.”
Jackson realized that Tiffany was trying to mess with him, so he helplessly went upstairs, “Mom, I need to deal with some things in the company. You talk to Tiffie.”
Tiffie? This was the first time Tiffany had ever heard him call her by that name. She still felt goose pimples all over her body, despite knowing that this was only an act.
Once Jackson had left, Mrs. West put the dog down and sat next to Tiffany. “You’ve mentioned that you were just getting to know each other and don’t know each other intimately yet, are you saying that you haven’t done ‘it’ yet?”
“It’? Tiffany felt as if a bolt of lightning had appeared in the sky. It was true that she was a modern woman, and could talk about sex whenever she wanted, but she was currently speaking to an elder. She couldn’t possibly be expected to talk about that? It was better to be more reserved. “‘It’? What is ‘it’?”
