Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 1644

Request for a day off?

Truth be told, Frida had never planned on going at all. She had merely said so to stall.

Hailey's birthday party was nothing more than a set-up for her.

With that, Frida darted her eyes and mumbled, "I did. I told him about it today, but he did not agree to it."

"Why not? Did you tell him that it's your classmate's birthday? You should say that it's a very important day. You're working every day anyway. It doesn't matter if you miss a day."

Oh, easy for Hailey to say.

Her job had an attendance bonus. If she worked every day, she could get an extra two hundred dollars a month. The money may not mean anything to them, maybe just the price of a meal.

However, that would be Frida's living expenses for quite a few days.

Hence, she could not take a break.

"I'm sorry, Hailey. I really can't attend. If he fires me, I'll be doomed."

After that, Frida took out the gift that she bought for Hailey and handed it to her.

"By the way, I got you this. Although it isn't worth much, it comes from my heart."

Hailey glanced at the item in her hand; noticing it was packaged in a worthless ordinary box, contempt arose within her.

However, to put on a show, Hailey took the gift and said with a smile, "Thank you. Actually, it'll make me happier if you can come to my birthday party instead."

Only a dumbo would believe in such phony words. Frida scoffed internally but did not let it show.

"I'm really sorry. If I'm able to, I hope I can attend your birthday next year. Happy birthday, Hailey. I hope you have a blast."

"Thanks, Frida. I'll save some cake for you. By the way, Mashauva isn't going either. She said she had something important to do that day. Do you know what?"

Frida paused at the question. "She's not going either? Hadn't she..."

"Yeah, she promised me last night but turned me down when she came back earlier. She even gave me a gift. Look."

Hailey deliberately went back to take Mashauva's gift and handed it to Frida. "This seems to be a branded perfume. I like the smell very much. Right, what did you get for me?"

Frida's face drained of color when she saw the difference between the two gifts.

Frida pursed her lips and begrudgingly choked out, "My gift isn't as good. Just a pair of ornaments, but I think they're quite pretty."

Hailey was already tearing through the packaging and chucked it aside as Frida spoke. Her actions clearly showed extreme disdain, but she looked surprised when she saw the pair of rabbit ornaments inside.

"It's so cute! I love it. Thank you, Frida."

Hailey's hypocrisy was becoming unbearable for Frida. Tugging the corner of her lips, she said resignedly, "You're welcome. Glad you like it."

After that, Hailey returned to her bed with the perfume and the pair of rabbit ornaments. She placed the perfume on the table properly but tossed the ornaments toward her pillow right in front of Frida's face.

Seeing that, Lena smirked.

Frida couldn't stop herself from balling her fists. Unclenching them as a thought struck her, she smiled dismissively and went to her desk, turning the table lamp on, ready to study.

She hadn't spent much money on the gift anyway, around twenty dollars. Moreover, she didn't want to buy something expensive for someone like Hailey.

So her rudeness was within her expectations.

Frida would just think of it as getting rid of some trash. She opened her book to study but suddenly thought of Mashauva.
