Chapter 428
Walter was blindsided by the questions, entirely unprepared, and found himself at a loss for words.
Evangeline did not even wait for an answer.
“I’ll take care of my own stuff, thanks. No need for you to bother.
“And let’s be real, you’re a busy man now, Wouldn’t want to interrupt your cozy twosome with your girlfriend, would I? That’d be on me.”
If Walter had been with any other girl but Minnie, Evangeline would not have batted an eye.
#25 BONUS
However, Minnie? She was so obviously playing him, and everyone could see it except, apparently, Walter. He was all over her, like they were joined at the hip.
Evangeline had her own take on it: Walter must be really desperate!
After she hung up, Evangeline turned to her personal stylist, Ms. Celina, with a grin of pure satisfaction and handed over her black card.
“Ms. Morris, what’s the full deal here? I’m thinking of getting a beauty card to pamper myself.”
With a beep, the POS machine confirmed her purchase
Just like that, Evangeline was the newest member of the Sunny Glow Beauty Salon.
If Walter had not called, she might never have considered it. However, after his meddling, it felt like a beauty card was just what she needed.
Why should she take orders from Walter, anyway? Who did he think he was? Just some rejection she did not even want!
David was racing against time, and when he finally burst through the doors of Sunny Glow Beauty Salon, he saw Celina just finishing up with Evangeline’s transaction. Soaked in sweat and barely catching his breath, his face fell in defeat.
Evangeline caught David’s eye and knew right away why he was there.
She flaunted her beauty card at him. “Hey David, check out my shiny new beauty card. If you’re ever in the mood for a facial, it’s in the house!”
With a smug smile, Evangeline strutted out.
She was sure David would tell Walter what happened.
Just imagining Walter’s face turning the color of sour grapes was enough to make her giggle uncontrollably.
Evangeline loved her facial. Celina might have been young, but she was a professional. She spotted Evangeline’s skin issues in a flash and whipped up a skincare routine on the spot.
While Evangeline was chilling with her face mask on, Celina snuck off for a quick break to the restroom. However, as she stepped out, she ran smack into David, who had been lurking outside like a shadow.
