"That's enough." Celia cut her off, looking sullen.
She had suffered at Grace's hands before, and she knew that it was very likely that the latter indeed had a connection with Joshua's first love. She didn't dare risk it in front of so many people.
Grace turned her phone in her hands.
Celia approached her and said in a low voice, "Don't get too triumphant. There's more in store for you."
Grace touched her hair, and her eyes shifted to the figure in the distance. "I'll be waiting."
Celia turned around angrily and left the boutique with her posse.
Silence fell at once.
The smile dropped off of Grace's face. Noelle asked hurriedly, "Grace, does Joshua really have a first love?"
"I made it up."
Emily laughed out loud. "I knew it! Only Celia would be dumb enough to be fooled by that. This just shows that she doesn't know Joshua well enough. She's just bluffing and putting on airs."
At that moment, Jake and his female companion came up to them. The woman said, "I've come to get my bag."
Noelle hurriedly said, "Me too."
Emily immediately switched to a professional expression. She asked them to show her their numbers. "Please come with me."
They followed her to the waiting area. Jake turned slightly and said, "We meet again. You're just as sharp-tongued as ever, Ms. Lewis. You're very bold."
Grace crossed her arms over her chest. A smile played on her lips. "Mr. Jake, you're just as charming as ever. I see that you're keeping yourself busy in Pamore with an endless stream of women."
"I can't compare to you, Ms. Lewis. You have one on the hook in Frenda and another here in Pamore. Does my brother know about that?"
Jake spoke in amusement as he played with the lighter in his hands. It was custom-made, and his name was engraved on it.
Grace stared at him and frowned slightly. She realized that something was off. "Making up rumors is rather shameless, Mr. Jake."
