Katie was a bit puzzled, "What just happened?"
Chloe's gaze fell on Katie's bag, suddenly asking: "How long have you been learning embroidery?"
Katie was totally clueless why Chloe would bring up this topic out of the blue.
"I started learning when I was little..."
As Katie said this, she clenched her bag a bit, a frown forming on her face. Chloe noticed her reaction and couldn't help but give her an extra glance. This girl seemed to have quite a few secrets.
"I have a ton of stuff to do this afternoon, so let's skip the shopping trip."
"What? But you just said..."
Chloe grinned and raised an eyebrow at Katie, "I think tomorrow would be a better day for shopping."
Katie had no clue what was going on in this woman's head. She was even more confused. What was going to happen tomorrow? How would she know?
"So, what are we doing this afternoon then?"
Chloe just smiled and didn't answer.
At that moment, Wendy came over and stood in front of them, her face adorned with her signature smile.
"What's going on?"
Katie looked up, gave her a glance, and upon seeing her radiant and generous smile, she quickly looked back down.
Seeing Katie's reaction, Wendy just smiled slightly and turned to Chloe with a questioning look.
Chloe smiled back and asked: "Ms. Alonso, where are you planning to go shopping?"
Wendy chuckled, "I'm heading to the men's section to pick out some clothes for my father."
"Oh, I see." Chloe nodded understandingly, "Take your time then."
Wendy paused, "Aren't you guys going shopping too? Why don't we go together?"
"Um, we have other stuff to do, so we'll have to pass on the shopping for today."
The smile on Wendy's face dimmed a bit, "Is that so?"
"Yes, feel free to shop around."
With a relaxed smile on her face, Chloe grabbed Katie's hand and started walking in the opposite direction of the men's section.
As they passed by Wendy, the smile on her face instantly faded. She turned to look at their retreating figures, her expression turning gloomy.
"Where are we going next?"
Katie had a hunch of what was going on, but she didn't push for more.
Chloe turned to look at her, "Aren't you planning to wear that dress your sister bought for you?"
Katie's face paled, shaking her head, "I have no intention of attending any 'welcome party'."
As the elevator reached the ground floor, she led Katie out, giving a cold snort. "Do you think you have a say in this? You think your sister will just let you off if you refuse to go?"
Katie didn't speak.
"Do you think if you don't seek trouble, trouble won't find you?"
"Then...what should I do?"
Chloe turned her head, squinting her eyes and smiling at her.
"What do you think of your sister in that dress?"
