"What are you two talking about? Calling each other brothers already?" Yanis came out from inside and happened to hear Bonnie's words, so she chimed in.
Bonnie turned around upon hearing Yanis and looked at her. "Talking bad about you."
Ivan shook his head at Yanis. "I didn't say anything. It was all Bonnie."
Bonnie let out a sigh. "Ivan, if it were in the past, someone like you would have been executed. The crime of rebellion is punishable by death!"
"Ivan, don't worry, I'll protect you," Bonnie said.
Bonnie rolled her eyes. "Alright, you two go on and don't bother me."
Yanis looked at Bonnie with concern, wanting to say something, but Bonnie didn't give him a chance. She waved her hand at Yanis and said, "Go on, I have things to do too."
After saying that, Bonnie turned around and walked back inside.
As she walked, she reminded Ivan, "Don't forget about our plans tomorrow."
Ivan replied, "I'll remember it all the time."
After Bonnie went inside, Yanis looked at Ivan and asked, "What did you arrange with Bonnie?"
"I said that the three of us haven't had a carefree outing for a long time, and she wanted me to free up my schedule tomorrow to go out and have some fun with her. She'll treat," Ivan truthfully explained.
"Didn't you say anything else?"
Ivan turned his head to look at Yanis. "Did she really have a fight with Myles?"
Yanis nodded. "But she didn't tell me the reason, only that it's her own problem."
Ivan furrowed his brow slightly. "These two never seem to stay quiet for long."
"Before, even though Bonnie had a hot temper, she would always tell Myles everything that happened. This time, I think it must be serious. I asked her a few questions earlier, but she didn't say a word," Yanis said in a low voice.
"Has Myles not been coming here recently?"
Yanis shook her head. "I asked Linda, and she said it's been a while. He came once after returning from abroad, but hasn't been back since. Linda said Bonnie has been acting as usual in the store and hasn't been affected."
"How about... asking Myles?" Ivan suggested to Yanis.
Yanis hesitated for a moment. "Let's not interfere in their relationship matters. After all, they are both adults, and they should figure things out on their own."
Ivan nodded in agreement with Yanis. "You're right. When it comes to matters of the heart, the people involved should resolve them themselves. As bystanders, no matter how well we understand, it won't be of any use."
Yanis agreed with a sound. "Let's go."
Ivan responded and started the car, driving away.
When the two of them arrived at the jewelry store under the Bexter Group, they coincidentally encountered a family selecting jewelry.
They had been negotiating the price all along.
"Can't you lower the price a little more?"
The one speaking was a middle-aged woman, looking at the salesperson with a sincere smile on her face. "If you can give us a discount, we'll buy it."
The salesperson looked somewhat embarrassed. "Auntie, we have already given the lowest price, and we showed you the discounted set, but your daughter-in-law didn't like it. There's nothing more we can do."
Standing on the side, the woman playing with her phone looked up at the middle-aged woman after the salesperson finished speaking and said, "Who would wear something so ugly? I like this set. You figure it out."
"I... I'll talk to them. Don't get angry," the middle-aged woman said to the young woman in a gentle tone.
The young woman disdainfully glanced at the middle-aged woman. "Seriously, if it weren't for your son treating me well, I wouldn't be wasting my time here with this person. It takes forever to buy something. If you can afford it, buy it. If not, forget it. What's the point of wasting this time?"
