Frustration kicked in when Donald heard her question. What's there to be uncertain about? They're just lingerie!
“Yes. I'm sure about these three sets. Let's pay and leave,” he responded.
“Hold on, sir. Ms. Nixon hasn't tried them yet,” Jasmine stopped him from leaving.
Donald's nerves kicked in. He unbuttoned a button and asked, “Does she really need to try them?”
Hannah rolled her eyes at him and said, “Of course! How will I know if they fit if I don't try them on? Wait for me outside.”
Donald was on the verge of tears. He just wanted to leave the store as soon as possible, but now he had to wait outside the fitting room for Hannah to try on the lingerie.
He had no choice but to comply with Hannah's request and sit on the couch outside the fitting room.
Right then, he received a WhatsApp message from Jennifer: Darling, where are you?
Donald's heart skipped a beat the moment he read her message. He quickly stood up and took a sidelong glance at the surroundings.
After making sure Jennifer was not around, Donald heaved a sigh of relief before responding to her message: I'm having dinner with a friend.
Jennifer replied: Oh, I'm also shopping with a friend. She mentioned that there's a new clothing store in the mall with great brands, so we're planning to check it out.
Donald's heart lurched. A new clothing store? With great brands? Does she mean this store? No, Dragon Fide Corporation is in a different area that's at least twelve miles away from here. Jennifer wouldn't travel all the way here since she's not fond of shopping.
Not long after he had managed to calm himself down, Jennifer sent him a picture that instantly shook him up. D*mn it! It's this shopping mall! Is she really coming over?
“Hey, who are you texting? You look so happy,” Jennifer's friend asked.
“My husband. I wonder if he'll kill me if he finds out I come to this kind of place to shop for clothes,” Jennifer quipped.
