Filed to story: The Regretful Billionaire: An Unpredicted Reunion
Danika had investigated Leonard before learning that he and Stephanie were classmates.She knew his history very well.She thought he was good in every way.
“Danika, do you know that getting over a bad relationship takes a long time?”
Stephanie smiled bitterly.
Although she no longer liked Paul, the hurt he had given her still affected her.She was afraid.
Afraid that the next man would be just as crazy and lock her up.She hated the feeling of being trapped with nowhere to escape.
Stephanie’s words made Danika’s heart ache.She understood what she meant.
“That’s alright.We’ll take things slowly.We’re still young.There’s no need to rush.”
“Yeah.”
Stephanie smiled and nodded.
“I was just telling you that, and now it’s my turn.”
Danika laughed.
They were in no hurry to get back home.
For some reason, Danika didn’t feel like returning to Evan’s villa.
She felt like she couldn’t be herself in that place.
“Let’s go shopping.I haven’t gone in a long time.The clothes I’m wearing now were from last year,” Stephanie suggested.
She was too busy even to go shopping.
“Sure.There are only two days left before New Year’s, and neither of us noticed.”
Danika looked at the crowd a distance away, at the lively atmosphere.
Stephanie was stunned.
Goodness, she had forgotten all about it.
Perhaps New Year’s wasn’t so important to the working class.
“Let’s get some new clothes.We have to.”
Stephanie pulled Danika toward the closest shopping mall.
Stephanie was the type who bought new clothes every year, and this year was not going to be the exception.
“Alright.”
Danika nodded.
She didn’t mind.
Maybe it was time to buy Gilbert and Zack some New Year’s gifts.
Who Do You Think You Are?
Once they were in the shopping mall, Stephanie began clearing the racks.
Although the Zelliots were not as wealthy as the Zellwegers, they were still not short of money.
Hence, Stephanie could buy anything she wanted without a second thought.
After buying herself a few outfits, she bought some clothes for her parents.
Then, she looked at Danika.
“Is there anything that you like? I’ll buy it for you.”
“Really?”
Danika smiled.She swept her gaze around the shop but didn’t see anything she liked.
“Really.Who are we? I’d give you my whole person if I could.”
Stephanie raised her eyebrows flirtatiously at Danika, who suddenly didn’t know where to look.
She pushed her away.
“I wouldn’t want you.”
“Oh, of course.You already have someone in mind, I know.”
Stephanie teased her.
“The new year is already coming, and you and Eustace haven’t progressed at all.I’m anxious for you.”
“Why are you anxious? It has nothing to do with you.”
Danika was speechless as she and Stephanie walked into another boutique.
“Of course it does.I’m your best friend.I want you to be happy.”
As she spoke, a dress caught her attention.
“May I have a look at that dress, please? I’d like to try it on.”
The sales assistant was about to take it, but someone else grabbed it first.
“This dress looks alright.I’ll try it on.”
The other woman was already walking toward the fitting room.
She totally ignored Stephanie.
The sales assistant was embarrassed, but since Stephanie didn’t insist on having the dress, she retreated to a corner quietly.
Stephanie frowned, looking in the direction of the fitting room, her pupils constricted.
This world was a little too small for her liking.
Danika could sense that Stephanie was acting strange and asked, “What’s wrong? Do you know her?”
“No, but we’ve met before,” Stephanie said.
She turned to look at Danika.
“Didn’t I tell you I saw Paul accompanying a woman before? That’s her.”
“That’s her?”
Danika was shocked.She didn’t remember a girl like that before.
Perhaps she was the daughter of one of the rich families in Bardoff, which would explain why she was so arrogant.
“Yeah.”
Stephanie nodded.She was instantly in no mood to shop.
Danika was suspicious.
“Didn’t you say that you’re over Paul? Why are you reacting like this?”
“I think it’s such bad luck that I’m running into her even though Bardoff City is so big.”
Her good mood was ruined.She was about to leave, but Danika pulled her back.
“What’s the rush? I haven’t had a chance to browse yet.”
“You…”
Stephanie was speechless.
What was Danika doing? Soon, that woman came out of the fitting room.
Danika glanced at her.She was pretty, but not pretty enough to be Miss Universe.
As if feeling her gaze, the woman looked in Danika’s direction.
“What are you looking at? You’re gonna turn blind one day!”
Danika was struck dumb.
What a fierce woman.
She couldn’t argue with her.
“What are you giving attitude for? Who do you think you are?”
