So, upon noticing Karen slowing down, his instinct was to quickly lead her away from there.
“Rick, wait a moment.”
Seeing Rick walking faster, Karen hurriedly called out to him.
“Karen, there are still many things to do at the company, I don’t have time to shop.” Although Rick stopped, he frowned as he spoke.
Karen felt a chill in her heart. She hadn’t even made any requests, yet this man was already so frightened. But now wasn’t the time to think about that; she pointed to the Prada store and said, “That person seems to be Jacob.”
“Jacob??”
Rick was momentarily taken aback, not immediately recalling who that was, as he had never asked Karen about her ex-husband’s name.
“It’s my ex-husband,” Karen explained.
“Oh, the one who delivers takeout, right?”
Rick immediately felt a sense of superiority, but then he became suspicious: “Wait, how could a delivery guy be in a Prada store?”
“Oh, maybe he’s delivering takeout!”
Rick quickly thought of a reason.
“Doesn’t look like it. Look, there’s a woman next to him,” Karen pointed to Layla.
Following her gaze, Rick looked over, and his eyes widened.
He couldn’t help but mentally criticize Karen’s description; how could she call her a woman? She should be called a voluptuous beauty! “Let’s go in and take a look.”
Rick suggested, thinking to himself that a delivery guy wouldn’t have the money to chase after girls, but he could try to snag that beauty for himself. If she was willing, spending a bit at Prada would be worth it, given her figure and looks.
“Okay.”
Karen was also eager to go in and find out, so she nodded immediately.
The two then walked into the Prada store.
Jacob hadn’t noticed them at all, as Layla had already picked up a handbag she was particularly interested in, recommending, “I think this one is perfect.”
“Miss has a great eye; this handbag is a key item for the spring season. It would suit you very well. Why don’t you try it in front of the mirror?” the sales assistant said with a smile.
“I’m just helping to pick it out,” Layla explained.
“Helping also means you should try it, right, sir?” The sales assistant winked at Jacob, looking as if she wanted him to praise her.
Jacob smiled and nodded, thinking that the sales assistant was quite perceptive. Although she couldn’t possibly know his true intentions, at least she realized he was planning to buy a bag for Layla.
“Layla, just try it on and see how it looks.” Jacob encouraged.
“Oh, okay.”
Actually, not long ago, when Layla was shopping with her friends, she had tried on this bag and really liked it, but it was just too expensive.
“Jacob!”
But at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out in the store.
In a luxury store, people usually spoke in hushed tones, and it was rare for someone to shout like that. Instantly, not only Jacob and the two women but also the attention of other staff members was drawn over.
When Jacob saw Karen and Rick, he was momentarily stunned, not expecting to run into them so coincidentally.
“What are you doing here?”
Karen, while sizing up Layla and the handbag in her hand, angrily questioned.
This left the sales assistant confused; she looked at the fierce Karen, who seemed like the original wife catching the mistress. Having been a sales assistant for five years, she had seen such scenes before, and not just once.
But today felt different. If she was the original wife, why was there a man beside her? Were the couple each playing around and just happened to bump into each other? No, if they were each playing around, they should be pretending not to see each other!
The sales assistant’s mind was racing, trying to figure out the relationship between the two.
However, Layla had guessed Karen’s identity. Earlier, when they were having lunch, Jacob had already told her about his situation. She knew this guy had just gotten divorced and had a five-year-old daughter.
The woman in front of her, so aggressive, was most likely the ex-wife.
But if you’re already the ex-wife and have a man by your side, why are you making such a fuss here??
“Is this Prada store yours, or is it that Director Zapper’s?”
“Can’t I just browse around?”
Jacob was no longer the Jacob who had just received his divorce certificate yesterday. As the saying goes, when a man is poor, his ambitions are short. Yesterday, he could only vent his frustrations, but today was completely different; he was about to become a wealthy man.
Even without considering the future, he currently had 210,000 in his bank account, which gave him the confidence to shop at Prada.
