274 The crazy woman (1/2)

His plan right now was to make her exhausted so she would not argue when he brought them home. Knowing today was the day Ryn returning, Mika would be anxious to see her best friend. But Jason was not ready to release her yet. He wanted to keep her with him as long as possible.

She was getting too busy to his like. He knew she was busy with the new collection of both her fashion and jewellery brand, as well as the new make-up line she shared with Ryn. And then, she needed to prepare for their wedding. She must be exhausted designing her wedding gown, as well as the dresses for Ryn, her grandmother and mother, as well for his female family members.

He hoped he could share her heavy burden but he was helpless in this. All he could do was making her happy like this to make her feel better.

”What do you think, babe?” Mika twirled around, showing off the dress she was trying on.

”A lighter colour?” he asked, frowning. It was too dark for his taste.

”I want to try the crème one,” Mika told the salesgirl who was assisting her.

”Certainly, Young Mistress Long,” the girl nodded and quickly went to get the correct colour. Soon enough she returned holding a crème off the shoulder dress.

Mika went back into the changing room to change into the dress. Then, she went back to her fiancé to show off the dress.

”What do you think?” she asked.

”Belt?” he asked, looking at how bare the waist area looked.

She looked down and pursed her lips thoughtfully. ”It's okay. I have a suitable belt for this.”

”What else do you want? What about the skirt there?” he pointed at the skirt on display. It was a new release and he thought she did not have it yet.

She looked at the skirt he pointed. Then, she made a gesture for the salesgirl to retrieve it for her in her size. ”This one?”

”Try it.”

Shrugging, she went back to the changing room with the skirt. On the way, she chose a blouse to pair with the skirt.

She returned to her fiancé, waiting for his verdict. Although she was the one in the fashion industry, the one who would be enjoying the clothes she wore was him. So, it was important for her to get approval from him too. Of course, what she was wearing when she was at work or when with Ryn would be according to her own style. Only when with Jason would she look for his opinion.

When they were finally leaving the boutique holding two huge paper bags, they bumped into Ella and her girls. The girls were whispering while giggling at Ella, while Ella was storming away while crossing her arms furiously. They did not expect to meet the couple again.

Mika cocked an eyebrow and looked at Jason in a puzzle. Jason was puzzled too.

Who was this crazy woman?

Both already forgot about Ella. For them, the girl was unimportant. Despite Ella thinking she was so important in Jason's eyes, in Jason's mind, she was but a little fly. Easy to be forgotten. Especially when Jason and Mika were on their romantic date.

”Babe, do you know her?” Mika asked Jason in a whisper but Ella could hear her voice clearly.

Not know her? They pretended they did not know her?

How… how dare them!

Not only she was being humiliated at the restaurant because of them? Now they were trying to humiliate her in front of others too. Good. Very good. They chose a spot where so many people lingering around and watching them.

”Not sure. Maybe she's drunk. Let's go,” Jason pulled Mika closer protectively and tried to walk around Ella but she did not allow this humiliation go.

”Jason, how could you do this to me? Why did you leave me for that… that… slut?” Ella cried, pointing her shivering finger at Mika.

”I don't think she's drunk, babe. I think she's crazy,” Mika told Jason, watching Ella warily. A crazy person could behave out of the norm and she was scared of her fiancé and she would get hurt. Her hands clutched to his arm even tighter.
