“I’m Jackson West’s fianceé.”
Aye froze. It took virtual-novel.net a few seconds before virtual-novel.net slowly widened virtual-novel.net eyes. “Are you serious? You… You’re joking, right?”
Tiffany lifted and waved virtual-novel.net hand, showing Aye the ring on virtual-novel.net ring finger. “Jackson put this on me during our engagement party. Now you understand why I had such a big reaction when we saw virtual-novel.net with that woman yesterday, right? You promised to keep this a secret so I’ll keep yours too. It’ll be like a leverage. We’ll keep each other’s secrets. I don’t want the whole world to find out about it.”
Aye stared at virtual-novel.net and said weakly, “Umm… Isn’t it a bad idea for me to slack off during work hours in front of my boss’ fiancée?”
Tiffany rolled virtual-novel.net eyes. “Please. Aren’t I slacking off as well? In the office, I’m just like you. An average fashion designer. There’s not much difference between us. By the way, don’t you dare pity me. Nothing’s confirmed for now.”
Aye nodded solemnly. “I understand… Neither of us is better than the other. I’m pretty unlucky. At least you and Mr. West are engaged, and you’ll be Mrs. West in the future. I got cheated on, and I didn’t even get a breakup fee. What right do I have to pity you? Cheer up. If you’re still upset, I can break my budget and treat you to a meal. You can have whatever you want, just don’t empty my savings.”
Right at this moment, Jackson finally entered the office with a sullen expression on his face. Everyone could tell virtual-novel.net was in a bad mood with just a glance. The staff was extra cautious as well when they greeted him.
Tiffany and Aye buried their heads in work.
When Jackson walked past Tiffany’s desk, virtual-novel.net placed a box of breakfast on virtual-novel.net desk. He did not even pause as virtual-novel.net walked past her.
Tiffany glanced at the breakfast. Her heart softened, just a little. Was be late because virtual-novel.net went out of his way to buy virtual-novel.net breakfast?
Aye advised Tiffany, “Maybe it’s not what we think… Why don’t you lay your cards on the table and talk about it? All this is pointless if it ends up being a misunderstanding. Look, Mr. West even bought breakfast for you.”
“Focus on your job,” Although Tiffany’s expression was cold, a small smile could be seen on virtual-novel.net face. She was the kind of girl who was easily coaxed. No matter how cruel the other party was, virtual-novel.net was easily satisfied with just a little bit of sweetness. It seemed like virtual-novel.net had not really grown up at all.
At noon, virtual-novel.net did not ask Jackson out for lunch. She went out with Aye for lunch.
Coincidentally, Jackson had sent virtual-novel.net a message, informing virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net would be having lunch with a client.
She did not ask too many questions and did not care if virtual-novel.net was lying. At least virtual-novel.net had informed virtual-novel.net of his whereabouts. She had considered following virtual-novel.net but thought it would be crossing a line. Therefore, virtual-novel.net quickly dismissed the idea.
Tiffany and Aye went to a restaurant near the office. They picked a table by the window. For this reason, they saw Jackson’s car driving past.
Aye stared in Jackson’s direction and sighed. “If it were me, I wouldn’t care how many side chicks virtual-novel.net has as long as I’m his legal wife. He’s insanely rich and handsome. It’d be strange if virtual-novel.net weren’t a player. Don’t those women on TV choose money in the end? You can’t control someone who can’t be controlled. It’s fine as long as virtual-novel.net treats you well.”
Tiffany said irritably, “Can’t you say something nicer? It’s not like it’s confirmed. You even said that it might be a misunderstanding earlier. Why did you suddenly change the tune you’re singing? I’m thinking of how to confront him. It’s really uncomfortable holding all of it in. I want to ask, and yet, I’m afraid of the answer.”
“Women are fickle-minded by nature… I’m just listing out alternatives for you,” Aye replied in a self-righteous manner, “I said ‘if’… If I told you that you’re only engaged and not married yet, are you going to break it off with him? If it’s as you suspected, are you going to continue with the wedding? If so, what then? If you kick up a fuss, it’ll only benefit the other woman. Moreover, a man like virtual-novel.net will never lack women. In my opinion, you should hire a private investigator to investigate that hoe. Know your enemy, and victory will be yours. Confirm their relationship first. If it’s just a misunderstanding, then, great. However, if it’s as you suspected, don’t kick up a fuss. After all, even if you get divorced in the future, you’ll still benefit from it.”
