A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

“I...“ Rita wanted to say something more, but she paused and stared blankly ahead.

Seeing this, Emily looked in the same direction. She was surprised at what she saw. “Darren? Bonnie?“

Three meters away from them, Darren and Bonnie were standing there and looking at them with equal surprise.

“Emily!“ Bonnie was the first to walk happily to Emily and Rita. She waved to Emily and chirped, “What a coincidence!“

“Yeah, what a coincidence!“ Emily looked at Bonnie with a smile and then took a glance at Darren, who still seemed to be in a daze. Then, Emily asked, “Have you also come here to shop?“

“Yes,“ Bonnie replied. Bonnie then took and held Emily's hand. “I saw your new product launch event, Emily. You were so brilliant! After your necklace is launched on the market, Darren and I are going to buy one for each other. Right, Darren?“

Bonnie looked at Darren only to find his gaze fixed on Rita. “Darren?“

“Yes? What's wrong?“ Darren came to his senses and looked at Bonnie.

Bonnie squinted at him and then looked at Rita.

Seeing this, Emily took Rita's hand and said, “We're done shopping. My kids are waiting for me at home, so we'd better get going now. Bonnie, let's have dinner some time when you're free.“ Before Bonnie could say yes to her, Emily was already towing Rita away.

Although Emily did not like Darren, she did not want things to get worse for him for Bonnie's sake.

Bonnie just waved at them and watched them leave. The moment she turned around, she saw Darren staring at Rita's receding figure.

Bonnie lowered her head to hide her emotion.

Only after Bonnie and Darren were out of sight did Emily and Rita slow down their steps.
