When Kimberly finally came back to her senses, she leaned against the glass cabinet next to her as she tried to compose herself.
"I'm fine."
"But you don't look so good. Do you need me to call someone for you?"
Kimberly did not answer. She took a deep breath and tried to calm down. After a long moment, she raised her head and smiled at the sales assistant, "Thank you for your concern. I'm fine. I'll be leaving now."
After that, Kimberly left the jewelry store under the worried gaze of the sales assistant.
After she left the store, she walked around aimlessly. She couldn't concentrate, and didn't focus on what was in front of her.
Before reaching the jewelry store, she tried to convince herself that Sylvia's earrings were the same brand as the one in Maddox's
jacket. Otherwise, why would she be wearing them?
She was initially a little hesitant to find out the truth, but she decided to come anyway. After exiting the store, she realized that she couldn't come to terms with this new revelation.
Maddox had to go to a meeting, so he entrusted Sam to take her home. However, he had left in the middle of the meeting and did not come back the whole night. Today, Sylvia invited her out, and she was wearing the pink earrings she initially thought Maddox had bought for her.
What did that mean?
Kimberly stopped.
It meant that they probably spent the night together. "Oh."
Kimberly, oh Kimberly. You stayed up and waited for him the entire night? You are such a fool.
And yet, she was so worried about Maddox and even called Sam.
Thinking about it now, this must be what Sam wanted to tell her. No wonder he was looking at her so guiltily!
She was the only one who had been kept in the dark!
"Liar." Kimberly cursed softly and stumbled forward. Bang!
She accidentally bumped into someone else.
"Can't you see where you are walking? Get out of my way before I kill you."
The person walked away and kept cursing. Kimberly did not even get the chance to see the person nor apologize.
She continued stumbling forward and accidentally bumped into another person after a few steps. However, she was more unlucky this time. She was knocked down and ended up on the cold hard floor.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Don't you look where you're walking? What are you doing down there? Are you trying to blackmail me?" The man said and left quickly, afraid that she was going to blame him.
She remained on the floor for a while. When she tried to get onto her feet, she realized that she had no energy left.
Kimberly was so angry. It was such a small thing. Was it worth losing her mind over it?
Kimberly, after you divorced Jonathan, your parents forced you into a marriage that you didn't want, yet, you could still stand on your feet...
She mastered all her strength to get onto her own two feet when suddenly, she felt a pair of warm hands helping her up.
Through the shallow pool of tears in her eyes, she saw a tall, thin figure standing in front of her.
The man reached out and gently wiped the tears off her eyes. She was so touched by his gesture that tears started rolling down her cheeks. When she was finally done crying, she realized who the man was.
Benedict looked at her with pity in his cold eyes. He gently wiped her tears away and sighed helplessly.
