A Love Rekindled

Chapter 62

However, I wasn't surprised and didn't dwell on it. After all, Cindy was born under a lucky star. Yet, I didn't expect to see Cindy chatting with Vanessa with the coat on when I returned to work on Monday.

Cindy smiled as if she was displaying some kind of trophy. "It still cost thirteen thousand dollars even after the discount. I didn't think it was worth it, but Bruce said that it looked good on me and paid for it without question. I can't even return it now."

Vanessa looked envious. "Wow! When will I find a handsome and rich boyfriend like Mr. Harold? Oh, please bless me with one someday." I couldn’t help but stare at Cindy. How should I putit... I didn't agree with Bruce's taste.

Cindy was petite and cute and was more suited for a cuter style of clothes. But that vintage coat, coupled with Cindy's looks, only came across as awkward and out of place.

Well, Bruce was rich after all.

"Oh, Nance is here.” Cindy noticed me and walked over with a warm smile. "I wanted to apologize to you over the phone last night. But it was late. and I didn't want to disturb your rest.”

I was puzzled. "Apologize for what?”

Cindy toyed with the belt of her coat and shyly muttered, "It's about the coat. I actually feel quite sorry about it.”

She felt sorry? Then why did she wear it to work with such a bright smile.

I smiled. "You're overthinking it, Ms. Lane. There's plenty of choices in the mall. I could always find another one.”

And the same went for men too.

Just then, Caroline appeared out of nowhere and swept her gaze over Cindy. "That looks vintage. When did you change your style, Ms. Lane?"

Cindy happily glanced at the collar of her coat. But before she could answer, Caroline continued, "Something cuter would've fit you better. You look like an old woman in that.”

Cindy's smile froze.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

After returfing to the office, I NS glanced & at Caroline. "That coat coat over tef thousand dollars. But you made ‘it sound like it was only worth petinies." .to

Caroline chuckled. "Have you forgotten? I used to be an honored guest of the blue bloods."

Indeed, although Caroline's clothes were not of the latest season, any piece of hers was worth seven to eight times that of Cindy's. Now. in comparison, it seemed that Brue wasn't that generous after all. And suddenly. I didn't feel as frustrated about it as before. However, in the afternoon, I received a call from Kate.

"Nance, I happened to be passing by. Would you like to have a cup of coffee together?”

It sounded like a friendly invitation. But I could tell that it was anything but.

Knowing that I couldn't avoid her forever, I accepted the invitation

At the cafe, Kate sat at a seat by the window. She wore a light brown mink coat that put her elegance on full-display, truly living up to her status as a wealthy wife. "You're here, Nance,” Kate greeted me.

"Do you need something, Aunt Kate?" I got straight to the point.

Kate didn’ texpect the bluntness. Then, shehanded me a Chanel bag and said," I saw it while shopping yesterday and thought the color would suit you well. So, I bowght you one." ..

I glanced at it.

It was a black Chanel 2.55—a classic bag that went well with most outfits. A second-hand model such as this could: Leasily be sold for twenty to thirtythousand dollars, let alone a brad new one. <
