Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 125

When Gevena arrived, she brought along Janice. They looked at me and immediately asked, "How are you? He didn't give you any more trouble after he left, did he?"

I filled them in on what had happened and Gevena clapped in approval. "If it wasn't for you saying we could still use her, I would've taken care of her myself, let her have a taste of real life," she said.

"We can take our time. She's a great weapon to use against Marissa!" I hinted.

Janice sighed heavily, full of regret. "If my sister was as smart as you, she wouldn't be in her current state, caught between life and death."

I gave a bitter smile. "After a close brush with death, how could I not learn my lesson? In a way, your sister is luckier than me. Irving only married Olivia, while Jaylan brought me a whole group of mistresses who want to kill me. If I didn't fight back, I'd be chewed up in no time."

We all shared a knowing smile and Gevena suggested, "Let's go somewhere to sit and talk. This is hardly the place for a discussion."

We were just about to leave when Janice suddenly pulled me back. I followed her gaze and felt a surge of joy.

At the same time, Catherine spotted two people not far away and laughed playfully, "Oh my, what do we have here..."

Gevena reacted the fastest, quickly dragging us into a boutique. She whispered something to a salesgirl, who then hurried off.

The store manager recognized Gevena and quickly invited us to sit down, pouring us each a cup of coffee.

Twenty minutes later, the salesgirl came running back, handing her phone to Gevena. Gevena thanked her and opened a video on the phone, casually placing it on the coffee table.

We all crowded around to watch.

In the video, Marissa glanced at the tie section and the man quickly agreed. They walked over to the tie section, which was filled with a dazzling array of ties. The man picked out an ivory-colored tie, which was quickly wrapped up by the sales girl.

The salesgirl then suggested, "Miss, why don't you take a look at our shoes? They're very important to the overall look and can enhance or diminish the impact of the suit."

I had to give the salesgirl a thumb up, because she was a great at her job.

Marissa seemed hesitant, replying in a noncommittal tone, "Maybe next time. We have other errands to run."

The man immediately cozied up to her, pleading softly, "Honey, I really don't have shoes that match this suit. Could you... help me out?"

Marissa gave him a sidelong glance, her smile a bit strained. The man quickly spun her around, directing her attention to the shoe section.
