“Of course, if you didn’t bring any money, I can help you pay for it.” He liked a dress and pushed it into her arms. Without batting an eyelid, “Change and I’ll help you see if it’s suitable.”
Rachel stood still and saw that his eyes were cooling as if he was brewing his thoughts.
Kenneth took another dress to look and said calmly, “If you want to continue to work, and then listen to me, Mr. Lopez wouldn’t want a pregnant lady as his right-hand person.”
Rachel’s eyes darkened and her heart sank.
Threaten her!
But he was right, although the company provides maternity leave; it was only the basic salary. Without bonus and commission from the project, with the current situation of her family, they wouldn’t last long.
Furthermore, now the market is so competitive and she went through so much to get to this position. If she left, someone will easily replace her.
She absolutely cannot lose this job now. Otherwise, when the child was born, there will be other problems. Her mother had reminded her about these.
“Kenneth, if you let me lose this job, I’ll take the kid and drive you to your grave!”
Although she said that, she obediently grabbed the clothes and went to the fitting room.
Kenneth remains quiet as he glanced at her and continues to look at the clothes.
“Wrap up these.”
“Certainly, please wait.” The sales lady blushed as she saw the handsome and dashing man. She turned to wrap up the clothes.
Rachel changed and walked out. She looked herself in the mirror and she admitted that you’ll get what you pay for. This was much more comfortable than those cheap clothes she bought. They look fashionable and elegant.
Before the crisis befell the house, she loved all these branded clothes. She bought numerous branded items with her own salary. But of course, there was a part that she wanted to show her loved one but then again, perhaps he didn’t even notice.
She pursed her lips and then in the mirror she saw the sales lady packing up and her expression changed. She walked over and asked, “Are they all for me?”
Kenneth looked at her and acknowledged.
“I have a lot of clothes at home. We don’t have to buy so many. This one that I’m wearing is enough.” The sales lady was looking. She doesn’t want to cause a scene and didn’t sound too angry.
“Since we are here, buy some more. I don’t have much time in the future.” He took her handbag and found a credit card to give the saleslady.
Rachel was stunned ad wanted to grab the car, “I have the time.”
What’s it got to do with her that he doesn’t have the time? She may exceed the card limit with so many dresses.
Kenneth’s hand was long and he was tall and easily dodged her and gave the card to the sales lady, “Don’t come along to such placed. If you need anything just buy online and someone will send it over.”
Rachel’s expression changed and didn’t say a word, only to hear the sales lady saying with envy, “Missus, your husband is not only handsome but he is also thoughtful. You are so fortunate.”
“You are mistaken, he is my brother.” Swiping her card is thoughtful? This sales lady must be mesmerized by him.
Brother?
The sales lady suddenly felt awkward, laughed, and swiped the card.
Kenneth’s expression also changed but he wasn’t obvious about it. After all, brother sounded better than ex-husband.
After paying, the sales lady happily bade them farewell and Rachel stroked her handbag painfully as she walked out.
A month’s salary was gone just like that.
The clothes would be home delivered so that they don’t have to carry them. It seemed like Kenneth didn’t see her expression and dragged her to a shoe store.
Click, this moment was captured by a cell phone.
The three young ladies were sexy and fashionable. The one in the middle looked at the photo and then at them and her face turned blue. Her jealousy was seething.
“Sabrina, he, they, aren’t they divorced? Why are they still?”
The one standing in the center was Sabrina. She came with two of her friends to window shop and didn’t expect to bump into Kenneth. Before she could go forward to call him, she spotted Rachel.
That slut, is still clinging onto him. They’ve already divorced, why was she so shameless.
“What still? She’s shameless and will seduce any man she sees!” Sabrina clenched her teeth and swore.
“But… but that shouldn’t be, they are browsing the kids' section.” The other lady pointed to the sign curiously.
Sabrina laughed coldly, “That’s why I say that she’s a slut. She’s getting ready to be someone’s stepmother and yet came back to seduce her ex-husband. This woman is cheap.”
“Someone else’s child?” The lady rubbed her chin and raised her eyes to the sky and curiously said, “I saw that her clothes are so loose and she is wearing flats, I thought that she’s pregnant.”
Women understood other women. Furthermore, these were women who loved to gossip. They were familiar with the methods those movie stars hide their pregnancy and when they saw Rachel, they were able to distinguish whether it was real or fake.
One word surprised Sabrina and her face changed. She snapped around and looked at her friend, “What did you say? She’s pregnant?”
The two friends were shocked by her reaction, blinked, and carefully said, “I, I’m just guessing.”
Sabrina looked at the two and her expression turned terrifying, she smirked and laughed, “Just one look and you’ll know if she’s pregnant.”
If she’s pregnant, no matter who she was involved with, she wouldn’t let her have an easy time, not to mention that the man was Kenneth.
