Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 862

The shop assistant's eyes lit up when she spotted Derek. "Are you... You're the famous model, Derek, right? Gosh! Do you mind signing an autograph for me?"

She was practically squealing with excitement and almost fumbled her words.

Derek smiled lightly and obliged, writing his name on the shop assistant's clothes. "Thank you for your support. Can I try this tie on?"

"Of course, of course! Please!" The girl rushed past Janet and handed the tie to Derek.

He turned to the mirror and held up the tie against his chest. It had a black and white stripes design that was fairly common among young men these days. The tie indeed looked good on him, and he even brought his own zest to it.

"It looks great on you!" the shop assistant beamed. She looked at Janet and added, "You have excellent taste, Miss."

"You're mistaken. I wasn't planning to get that tie for him." Janet smiled politely, but it didn't reach her eyes. She then glared at Derek. "Do you think this is funny?"

He met her gaze through the mirror and said nothing.

Janet sighed exasperatedly. "Derek, how did you even know that I was here? Did you follow me all the way from the hotel? You know, I always pegged you for a gentleman. At the very least, I didn't think you would overstep boundaries and disrespect women like this. But now, I see that you're just as pompous and self-centered as they come. I'm warning you. Keep pestering me, and I'll call the police on you."

All the shop assistants present were visibly surprised by her sharp tone and harsh words.

Their eyes shifted nervously to Derek.

"Oh, my God! So, Derek is actually a stalker in real life?"

"I didn't see this coming at all. How can he do something so awful?"

"He's nothing like I imagined. I should have known there is no such thing as a perfect man, no matter how handsome they are."

Derek frowned as the people around them discussed among themselves. He turned to stare at Janet with a dark expression.

Just then, his manager burst into the store, panting as he tried to catch his breath. "I left you alone for a while, and you already made a lot of trouble! Why did you ditch your work halfway, huh?"
