He refused without hesitation, “I don’t have time this afternoon. I can’t go.”
If he dared to go shopping with Phoebe alone, he would be dead.
Roan felt headache when he saw Collin’s poor performance. If he didn’t take the initiative to improve relationship with Phoebe, his girlfriend would become someone else’s.
Roan advised seriously, “Your career is important, but it’s more important to find some time to accompany the people around you. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have time in the afternoon. You can go out tonight, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow.”
What he meant was that Collin must go shopping with Phoebe.
Collin was in a bad mood. Her face turned blue and her eyes flashed with horror.
It was obvious that Roan wanted him to be with Phoebe.
The colder someone was, the more dangerous Collin would be.
He would die sooner or later.
He had to find a way and solve the problem directly!
After thinking about a way, Collin said, “Kieran is about to make a big move. These days are the critical time, and I really can’t spare time to go shopping. Let Florence and Phoebe go shopping together. Girls have a great deal in common to talk over and they would have fun when they go shopping.”
Then Collin winked at Florence and said, “Florence, didn’t you say that you are bored at home and want to go out for a walk?”
When did she say that to Collin? He was really good at making up stories.
But Florence didn’t expose Collin. She nodded with a smile.
“Okay, Phoebe. Let’s go shopping together this afternoon. Kiss has a new arrival. It’s very beautiful. I want to have a try.”
Phoebe didn’t want to go shopping with Collin, so she nodded in agreement.
“Okay, let’s go together.”
The two girls chatted with each other and arranged the schedule of the afternoon.
Roan was very unhappy because his plan failed. But under the current situation, he couldn’t say anything.
He could do nothing but watch Collin miss another good opportunity.
Although it was just an excuse, the two of them went shopping.
Shopping was a girl’s favorite thing.
Since the matter of finding medicine steadily went on, Florence was in a good mood every day.
Naturally, she was in the mood to go shopping.
As a matter of fact, since she left City N, she had been in a mess and had no time to go shopping.
“Phoebe, I suddenly miss the feeling of walking on the street leisurely.”
“Do you miss the feeling of me walking with you more?”
Phoebe held Florence’s hand and walked forward happily.
She was in a good mood.
After going out, she wouldn’t be under the same roof with Stanford, and she wouldn’t pay attention to him all the time.
It was rare for her to feel relaxed.
The two of them were in a good mood. They went to the shopping mall and bought a lot of clothes.
When passing by a men’s clothing shop, Florence stopped involuntarily and was attracted by a suit of clothes inside.
Phoebe took a look at her and pulled her towards the men’s clothing shop.
Florence looked at her in surprise and said suspiciously, “Phoebe, what are you doing? This is a men’s clothing shop.”
“We can also go in. Buy one for your Ernest.”
Florence was stunned and her face turned red involuntarily.
She just took a glance at it casually and was caught by Phoebe. The word “your” made her feel both happy and uneasy.
But she didn’t refuse Phoebe’s kindness. Florence followed her into the men’s clothing shop.
The salesclerk immediately welcomed her warmly, “welcome to our restaurant. Two ladies, are you choosing clothes for your husband?”
The word “husband” echoed in her mind. Florence blushed and shook her head.
“Boyfriend.”
The salesclerk smiled knowingly and politely stretched out her arm to lead the way.
“This way, please. Take a look if there are clothes suitable for your boyfriend.”
It was the first time that Florence had bought clothes for Ernest. The salesclerk was too enthusiastic that she was a little overwhelmed.
Looking at the shy look on Florence’s face, Phoebe teased, “Did you just want to see that suit? Let’s go and see if it’s appropriate.”
Florence was dragged by Phoebe to the front of the models in the center.
It was wearing a dark black suit, which was neat and had a good texture. Its lines were smooth, noble and domineering.
It was very suitable for Ernest.
Without hesitation, Florence said, “I want this one.”
The smile on the salesclerk’s face suddenly became brighter. This suit was their top treasure, which was too expensive.
She didn’t expect it to be sold out like this.
She immediately said, “Miss, what size do you need? This is the only limited edition. We will destroy the other sizes.”
Limited edition? It was suitable for Ernest.
Florence said a size with a smile.
Phoebe smiled playfully. “Oh, you remember it so clearly. You don’t seem to buy clothes for him the first time. Do you touch him every day, so you know clearly?”
Florence was stunned and her face turned red.
Phoebe liked to tell a dirty joke suddenly.
Embarrassed and annoyed, Florence pushed her and retorted, “You’ll know when you have a boyfriend. You don’t need me…”
Before she could finish her words, Florence thought of something and stopped abruptly.
Stanford had just hurt Phoebe so badly in love
Speaking of her boyfriend, she maybe will think of Stanford.
Sure enough, the smile on Phoebe’s face froze.
Florence wanted to pull out her tongue. She hurriedly patted her mouth and said, “I didn’t mean it. Don’t think too much.”
Phoebe’s eyes flashed and then she smiled again.
She said indifferently, “what are you thinking about? I’m not a person who can’t take a joke.”
After a pause, she continued, “besides, I have already given up on Stanford. Now I have no feelings for him at all. I just take him as a friend and can get along well with him.”
She said briskly.
But the tightly held fingers behind her exposed her true feelings.
The existence that she had tried her best to pursue was now completely dark and desperate.
She and Stanford were destined to be two parallel lines that could not intersect, or like cross that was fading away.
Florence looked at Phoebe with her dark eyes. Was she really just treating her as a friend?
But she could tell that Phoebe was managing to force a smile.
