Chapter 238
When Samuel appeared, Tina lowered her head to make herself less noticeable.
His chilling gaze swept across the crowd. For some reason, his eyes fell on Tina for a while.
Tina’s heart was racing. Was her identity about to be exposed?
Soon, Cindy burst out of the fitting room.
“Samuel, you’re here! Take a look at my outfit! Do I look pretty?” Cindy asked with a flirtatious tone. Only then did Samuel shift his gaze away from Tina.
Oddly enough, the old-fashioned and weird-looking woman seemed familiar to him.
He looked at Cindy, who was wearing a red gown. Her wearing such bright colors was unusual, as she always carved an innocent and gentle image for herself.
Samuel frowned. “This dress, it looks…”
The design of the dress was simple yet intricate. It was fascinating how it enhanced Cindy’s figure with such a simple design. Suddenly, another woman flashed across his mind.
Tina would look better in that. When Cindy noticed that Samuel seemed annoyed, she panicked. “You don’t like the dress, Samuel? I’ll change right now!”
Cindy glared at Tina, who was standing mutely in the corner.
She did it on purpose! She wants Samuel to think that I like sexy dresses so I can show my body off to other men!’
“Just wait! I’ll make sure her life is a living hell!’Cindy thought. Before Cindy could turn to leave, Samuel stopped her. “Wait. The dress looks nice on you.” “Really?” Cindy heaved a sigh of relief. “I’m happy that you like it!” Looking at her outfit, Samuel asked, “Who’s the designer of this dress?”
Tina’s heart stopped at that moment. Her coworkers said in unison, “Miss Linda.”
Then, they pointed at Tina.
Samuel’s terrifying gaze fell on Tina once more.
“Linda? I’ve heard of that name.”
“Miss Linda’s work has been featured on the cover page in the fashion magazine in Paris!”
For some reason, Samuel had the urge to remove this woman’s glasses. However, he held back
as he knew that would be inappropriate. “Really? Why are you dressing like that if you’re a renowned fashion designer?” “Um…” Her coworkers didn’t know what to say. Tina knew that she had to explain herself now. She didn’t have a good night’s sleep in the first place, and her voice was hoarse. She took advantage of that and lowered her voice even further, “I’ve been feeling unwell lately. I have an allergic reaction to my face, so it’s best I don’t show myself to the customers.” Then, she lowered her head and coughed. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
“Miss Linda is a workaholic. If it isn’t because she has a daughter at home to take care of, she would’ve slept in the studio every day.”
The rest of her colleagues tried to patch up the lie.
When Samuel heard their explanations, he erased his suspicions. She has a daughter? Looks like she’s already a married woman.” “Samuel, didn’t you say that you want me to accompany you to attend a banquet? When shall we leave?” Cindy asked excitedly. Samuel said coldly, “Let’s go.” He had no choice but to ask Cindy to come with him. It was a requirement to bring a partner to attend the banquet. Although he was irked by the idea of bringing Cindy to attend official events, she was still his official wife. It wouldn’t look good if he brought just any woman with him. Samuel left, with Cindy trailing eagerly from behind. Tina finally heaved a sigh of relief. “Oh, right!” Cindy recalled something and turned around immediately.
