After uttering those words, Jolene walked away, leaving Ramona standing alone in the pouring rain.
Ramona's eyes brimmed with jealousy and disbelief as she exclaimed, "I refuse to believe it! I just can't!"
To her, Mia had been nothing but an orphan, struggling financially during their school days. How could she have possibly become a wealthy heiress now, with a billionaire ex-husband?
…
Seated in the car, Mia couldn't hold back a sneeze, causing her to rub her nose as she imagined Ramona outside, likely cursing her.
Despite the heavy rain outside, the luxurious confines of the car provided a tranquil sanctuary.
Timothy offered her a tissue, and without hesitation, she accepted it, using it to wipe her nose. Just at that moment, her phone finally rang.
It was Dominic on the line. She promptly answered, "Hello, Dominic, what's going on?"
"Where are you? It's pouring outside. I had to call the driver over for an urgent matter today. I didn't expect Claude to assign him to you.
"I just realized you haven't returned home. Where are you? We'll come pick you up." Dominic's tone was tinged with anxiety.
Had he been aware beforehand that Antonio would be assigned to Mia, he wouldn't have called him over for assistance.
To him, even his brothers weren't considered worthy of utilizing his car.
Sitting next to Dominic, Claude intervened on the call, "Mia, I take full responsibility for this confusion.
"Antonio assumed there was a prior arrangement on your end and didn't mention anything, leading to this mix-up."
Claude hadn't anticipated Dominic calling Antonio over for an urgent matter today, and he had also forgotten to inform everyone in the group chat that Antonio was assigned to Mia.
Mia finally grasped the reason behind Antonio's absence. It was simply a misunderstanding.
She reassured them calmly, "It's alright. I'm already on the way home. I'll be back soon, so there's no need to worry."
Frowning, Dominic questioned, "Is your classmate dropping you home?"
