Chapter 210
Mia handed in her assignments at college, then went shopping with Gina. It had been a while since
they last hung out together.
Gina was all smiles. “Mia, I heard your house is going to be demolished. You’re going to be rich! I’m so
happy
for you!”
“Thanks. I honestly didn’t expect the demolition. But I doubt the compensation will be generous.”
They entered the mall when Mia received a phone call from Felix.
“Mia, where are you? I don’t see you in the office.”
“I’m shopping with my best friend.”
“I see. How about we have dinner together? Bring your friend along too.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe hesitated momentarily. “Felix, I have dinner plans with my family. My eldest brother and his wife
just returned from Nord City.”
Only then did Felix drop the dinner invite.
The call ended, and Gina chimed in. “Why didn’t you say yes? It’s Felix who asked you out for dinner.
Don’t worry about me. I won’t be a third wheel*
“Gina, you know I was married. Felix will never accept a divorced woman. Besides, she was carrying
her ex- husband’s baby.
No man could ever accept their partner to be like that.
“You’re playing by old rules, Mia. Felix is a great boss and he’s got the potential. Just think about it.
Come, I’ll bring you somewhere nice for a manicure. A new nail salon just opened.”
*Count me out. I’m sensitive to the smell.” A pregnant woman like her wasn’t suited for a manicure.
The duo sat down in the nail salon and a pungent smell of perfume wafted their noses. It was so strong
that it
was repulsive.
Pinching her nose, Mia looked across her shoulder to see a familiar person.
She knew that it wasn’t common for someone to wear so much perfume.
It was Shelly!
Shelly’s high heels clicked as she approached the duo. She sneered, “Mia, do you know how much it
costs to get your nails done nere? If you can’t afford it, don’t even try to step foot into the place. It’s not
a place for you.”
Gina, never one to back down, barked back, “Only someone as shallow as you would think that a
manicure is a luxury privilege. Guess it’s understandable, given that you use up half a bottle of perfume
every single time.”
Watch your mouth. Poor people like you only deserve to come with discount vouchers in their hands.

Alta faked a smile. Hahten up your belt, will you? Your cards are frozen. Best not to humiliate yourself
while You’re struggling to pay bills.”
Furious, Shelly raised her voice. That is all your faulll‘
The mention of the maller set Shelly on edge. She retorted, “Ms. Lane gave me a card, though. I can
spend the money however I want. After all, her wedding gift is extravagant.”
Shelly continued, ‘Mrs. Lane Senior spoils her rotten. I bet Ms. Lane has received a lot of assets, unlike
someone who keeps trying to rub shoulders with the rich without knowing her place,”
Gina chuckled. ‘You blabber with so much confidence that I thought that it was your own money. Turns
out it Isn’t. Why are you so pleased about spending someone else’s money?”
Shelly couldn’t find any words to rebut and turned to Mia. “The engagement ceremony is this weekend.
Ms. Lane’s brothers will be there. Don’t be jealous,”
