The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back) novel Chapter 20

THAT SAME DAY: 

“Take a seat here.” Mrs Jones pointed to the front seat which had already been reserved. 

“They already assigned us a seat, mum. Quite frankly with you, I’m in no mood for embarrassments today.” Janet responded with high irritation laced in her voice. 

Just as Mrs Jones was about to speak in protest, Janet looked around and she was filled with excitement when she said, “Look at Elijah’s mum!” 

“Yes…in the front seat.” Janet rolled her eyes at her mum’s remark and hurriedly rushed towards Mrs Martinez who was seated elegantly, conversing with one of the most famous retired fashion icons in the world, D’ Mangelo, and to her left was Cece Ferris renowned fashion critic who was the star of the Early Morning Fashion show. 

“Mrs Martinez, Hi.” Janet greeted with a huge smile on her face. 

Mrs Martinez looked at her from head to toe through the large dark glasses on her eyes, and was filled with instant disappointment. 

“Would you excuse me for a second?” She rose to her feet smiling tightly at the two next to her who were giving the same look to Janet. 1 

They both headed to the bathroom, while Mrs Jones went ahead to grab a drink and headed to her seat as soon as she noticed her friend talking amongst other people. 

“Aren’t you a model?” Mrs Martinez inquired in a hushed tone, making Janet frown in confusion. 

“I am but I decided to take a break this month. So many designers begged for me to be their model knowing it would also draw the press’ attention but I declined. I’m simply committed to my future husband.” She responded smiling brightly like a child knowing she was telling nothing but a lie. 

Word had gone out that she was the type of model to drop out either a day before the event on the day. She had done that about five times, and the designers weren’t pleased so it was hard for her to get gigs. Neither did she care much, after all she was dating Elijah Martinez. 

What else could she possibly dream of except a marriage to him? 

“Where did you get that dress from?” Mrs Martinez asked ignoring all of her other comments. 

“You know what….it doesn’t matter. But you should know that the designer is a rapist and a pedophile and everyone is boycotting his dresses and designs. Aside from that, isn’t it glaring that the dress is tacky? You look 

..” She trailed after cutting off Janet whose mouth was now left slightly ajared. 

She was dressed in a butt short brown armless gown which hugged her body in a way that seemed she couldn’t breathe. 

“You don’t have to say anything. I will be in my seat as the show is about to start. You and Your mother should have a good night, I will see you soon.” Mrs Martinez smiled tightly after drying her hands and exited out the bathroom.
