I shook my head and gave her a wry smile while looking at the obedient little Summer. “I’m not going to let that happen. There’s got to be another way. Summer can’t live without me, and I can’t leave her behind as well. No one can break us apart.”
We had been through so much for more than ten years. Even if Jackson and I were to go to court, I would never ever stab him in the back with that.
I was worried that Emery might do things on the spur-of-the-moment decision. So, I emphasized once again, “Emery, get them to delete it.”
She rolled her eyes at me resignedly. “I don’t know how to explain what a good opportunity this is to you.”
I pursed my lips a little at her comment. Before I could retort, the store manager walked up to us in an attempt to strike up a conversation. “Ms. Moore, have any of the suits taken your fancy? You guys seem a little tired. Why don’t you pick your favorite one first? I will get someone to pack it up for you.”
Emery, whose mind was muddled, simply pointed at the display rack in front of us. A lady in sexy clothes was standing at the spot she gestured to. Emery then said generously, “I want everything on the rack. Please pack everything up and deliver them to my house later.”
The manager was a man of the world. He bent over slightly and said, “Alright. Please wait for a moment.”
After saying that, he turned around to pack up the clothes. Suddenly, a high-pitched and piercing voice of a woman broke the peace. “Wait!”
We followed the direction of the voice and noticed a sexy and smoking hot woman aggressively approaching the manager. “Are you the store manager? Didn’t you see that I was the one who had an eye on the clothes first? And you let other women have it without even asking me! Explain this to me!”
Although she was talking to the manager, she was shooting us a death stare. Obviously, she was not easy to deal with.
If Emery was at her best, I knew she would have definitely stepped forward to confront the woman. However, she was probably feeling worried today, which explained why she completely ignored that woman. Instead, she grabbed Summer’s hand and headed out. “Summer, let’s go home.”
