I have not seen Sean for nearly a month since that day. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Gradually peace returned to life. I am busy with my work schedule to numb myself and forget that I still have such a marriage. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was my pay day today. Daisy shouted in the morning to buy her dinner. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In order not to keep her waiting, I didn’t work overtime for the first time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As a result, I just walked out of the office building. A man in a suit approached me and said politely, “I’m Mr. Jessop’s driver. He asked me to pick you up.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was time to get off work. People around me looked at me with strange eyes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
For a moment I was in a trance. “Mr. Jessop? Sean Jessop?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Why did he pick me up? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The driver explained, “The chairman wants to see you. He’s Mr. Jessop’s grandfather.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I remember that phone call a month ago, I resist going to see his grandfather. I was afraid Sean Jessop would insult me in front of his grandfather. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I can’t afford not to go. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I had to follow him to the car. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He took me first to the Star Department Store and gave me a silver card to go in and buy a suit. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t want to take it, but the Star Department Store was the most upscale department store in York. Almost all the world famous brands can be bought here. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But the price of the clothes inside may not be affordable even if I maxed out my credit card. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
And those who come here shopping are fair ladies and celebrities in general. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was wearing a shabby business suit. As soon as I entered, all the assistants glanced at me and then ignored me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t mind at all. After all, I’m not the kind of person who can afford to spend here. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I walked around the mall and stopped at the entrance of a corner brand store because I had heard of all the brands except this one. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
So, I thought the clothes in this store were cheap. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was instantly struck by the beige dress the model was wearing. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The more I saw, the more satisfied I was. I can’t resist trying. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
To my surprise, the clerks in this shop are very friendly. When they knew I was going to try it on, they quickly picked up a size I had asked for and invited me into the dressing room. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I changed my clothes and stood in front of the mirror. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It must be said that this dress really suits me as I expected. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I decided to take this dress and asked the clerk, “How much is it?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The clerk replied respectfully, “Thirty thousand dollars.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This number made me gasp. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Thirty thousand dollars… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought the dress was only a few thousand dollars. It’s over my budget, and I’m afraid Sean Jessop will see it and think I’m vain. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I was about to go in and change, I saw Molly Carter in the mirror. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She had two bags in her hand, and when the clerk saw her, he went up to greet her warmly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As he said hello, he turned to me and said to her, “You look just like this guest…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Molly Carter saw me and looked at my dress again. She reminded the clerk kindly. “Your clothes are so expensive. Why do you give everyone a try? What if she soiled your clothes and couldn’t pay for them?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The clerk looked at me with a troubled look. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I had no choice but to say, “I will take it.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Molly Carter was surprised when I said I was going to buy it, but she shut up and said nothing. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I took the silver bank card out of my bag and gave it to the clerk and went in to change clothes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Molly Carter stood by when I came out. “I didn’t know you had the money to buy this.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As I handed the clothes to the clerk to pack, I said to Molly Carter, “Yeah, I’m going to see grandpa today, so my husband asked me to buy some clothes.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After that, I smiled sweetly at her again. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
