Sharon didn't understand how Rita had the face to say this.She leaned against the wall and said, "I
don't know how you have the nerve to negotiate with me.I won't help you for anyone's sake.You should
feel grateful that I haven't told the police what you said to me that day.
Rita fiercely replied, "You'll regret it, Sharon Allyson."
Sharon laughed, "Sure, make me!"
Soon, she could only hear the busy tone.
Sharon was in no mood to sleep now so she thought, 'Might as well make coffee."
Back into the office, Tiffany had awoken.
She stretched her body, yawning and looking outside the window.She rubbed her eyes when she saw
Sharon walk in.
"Where did you go?"
Sharon answered, "Got sleepy.Made some coffee.You want some?"
Tiffany nodded.
Sharon handed her the cup and left to make another one.
Having finished the coffee, Tiffany sat there, waiting for the caffeine to take effect on her nerves.
She got up after a while when she finally felt the energy slowly coming back, "Sharon, I'm hungry.I'm
gonna get some food.Do you want anything?"
"I'm fine with whatever"
"Alright.I'll see what I can find."
Tiffany stretched herself one more time and then headed to the mall nearby.
Daniel followed along the second he saw her, "Oh hey, what a surprise!"
"....” She pursed her lips, "Indeed, we're next door.Such a surprise!"
Daniel didn't say more.
He just kept following her to the mall.
Tiffany went to the bakery on the ground floor, picked up some cakes and then went to another shop to
buy some snacks.
Daniel followed her the whole time, and he didn't stay silent, "Oh this one! I saw it on TV.It looks good!"
Daniel dropped two bags of it and then found something else, "That one's good, too.You girls will like
it!"
He dropped a couple of them as well.
"...” Tiffany broke her silence, "What are you doing here?"
"Keeping you company" Tiffany checked behind her back, "These people are not following me.You can
drop the act.See ya"
Actually, there was more that she noticed.
Although that car had stopped following Daniel, he remained as usual, showing up next to her from
time to time, walking her home.....
That was how she got annoyed.
It was too much! Daniel laughed and didn't reply to her words but kept picking snacks for her.
At the checkout counter, Tiffany asked the cashier for an extra plastic bag.
She dropped some cans inside and then handed the bag to Daniel.
"It's for you.You're welcome.Thanks for accompanying me."
Tiffany saw that he didn't intend to take it, so she forced the bag into his hand and then turned around
instantly.
Daniel followed behind her, "Tiffany, are you still mad at me?"
"For what? You're not even my boyfriend.Why would I be mad because of what happened last year?"
"Then why....."
"I thought you liked this.Give it back to me if you don't want it."
Daniel dodged her.
"I see.You still like it, huh?"
"Nope" He explained unconvincingly, "The ones I had were almost expired.Wasting food is shameful,
don't you think?"
Tiffany showed him a forced smile and kept walking without a word.
But to her surprise, a man she hated to see appeared before her.
Asher Lawson was shocked to see her as well, "Tiffany?"
Tiffany felt disgusted just to hear his voice.
'Nope.I'm your father' She cursed inside.
Tiffany wanted to get around him but was grabbed, "Do you live around here? No wonder I couldn't find
you anywhere."
Tiffany pulled her arm out with strength, yelling with patience, "What do you want? Do a blood test?"
Asher had no idea what "blood test" was about but he chose to ignore it.
His face suddenly became so desolate, "Tiffany, I'm sorry for what I did.But I've broken up with that
woman completely.Let us start again, OK? You wanted to get married, right? Let's go right now!"
"Are you nuts? Asher, I've never seen someone as shameless as you are.Calling you a piece of sh*t
will not do you justice.You're a f*cking cheater, and now you have the guts to act all sentimental.Go find
yourself a sewer and eat sh*t!"
Asher's expression became ugly.
He was about to say something when, suddenly, a man showed up next to Tiffany, holding her by the
shoulder so spontaneously, and said with a gentle voice, "Who are you talking to, honey?"
Tiffany felt goosebumps immediately, but played along anyway, "Probably some homeless dude.I don't
even know what kind of bullsh*t he's talking about"
"Tiffany, what....."
Daniel stopped him with a stare, "What's your business, man?"
Asher was much shorter, so he immediately felt intimidated by Daniel.
Daniel took over the bags in Tiffany's hand and grabbed it with the other hand, "Let's go, honey.I'll
make you dinner."
Hearing those affectionate words, she felt so uncomfortable that she could hardly resist the urge to free
her hand from him.
Asher stared at them with bitterness as they were leaving.
Tiffany hurriedly got rid of Daniel's hand after they had got out of the mall.
She wiped the sweat from her palm on her pants, looking to the side awkwardly, "Thanks for that."
"For what?"
Tiffany opened her mouth but didn't know how to answer that question.
"So that was your ex?"
"Nah."
"..."
Tiffany scornfully laughed, "He's the one whose grave I'm gonna visit soon."
Daniel suddenly felt that Tiffany had been treating him so kindly, compared with this guy.
