Katrina has no idea that Aaron is allergic to coriander. She only put a bit of coriander in one of the dishes she made him for lunch.
He could have just avoided that dish altogether. The rest is enough for him, but he foolishly ate up all the dishes.
Now that Katrina knows the truth, she isn"t as upset as she was just now.
On the other hand, Aaron is furious. This ruthless woman who misunderstands him and loses her temper with him dares to laugh at him and call him an idiot.
He"s dependable, silly. Because she made him a meal herself, he felt good the whole day. He"s indeed silly for not wanting to waste anything.
Aaron gets very angry, but he also has an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
Katrina mistook him for having another woman and became so angry and jealous like this. It means she actually cares about him in her heart.
If she can keep calm and refrain from asking about him, it would mean that she doesn"t care about him. Although he is angry, he is also pleased.
Aaron easily picks up her delicate body, forcibly throws her on the soft and big bed, and presses her onto the mattress.
No amount of discontent only can be justified by action.
As Aaron presses down on her, Katrina looks fl.u.s.tered.
Even if she is very resistant, in the end, she is doomed to sleep with him...
It"s been days since Katrina cooked for Aaron.
She doesn"t know how things are going with Victoria.
Several days have gone by. Nothing is unusual about Aaron"s att.i.tude towards her, which means that he"s completely unaware.
It seems that Victoria is keeping its secret well. She must be doing everything she can to help Katrina getaway. After all, her departure is beneficial to both of them.
Katrina doesn"t have Victoria"s contact information. She has no contact with anyone besides Aaron.
After thinking about it, she decides to go out and try her luck.
Katrina asks Aaron"s heelers to drive her to the most bustling and expensive mall in Hadley City. It"s the same place where Aaron took her to go shopping for the first time.
Famous ladies and celebrities in Hadley City buy clothes in this mall. Maybe she"ll run into Victoria here.
Katrina wanders slowly through the mall, with two men following her and keeping an eye on her. Since she says she"s shopping, she doesn"t just wander around casually. Every now and then, she looks at the clothes in the store, picks one or two she likes, and goes into the dressing room to try it on.
When Katrina enters a shop, she touches a dress hanging on a clothing rack. Suddenly, a delicate hand with bright red nail polish takes the dress away from her.
Katrina looks up in surprise to see Victoria dressed fas.h.i.+onably on high heels, looking at her arrogantly. "This dress suits me much better than you!"
Katrina is pleasantly surprised at the sight of Victoria.
She glances at the two men following her, who are still standing a short distance away. They"re eyeing her like a hawk as if they were afraid that she might get into a conflict with Victoria.
With her back to the two men, Victoria s.n.a.t.c.hes the dress and quickly whispers, "It"s all done."
Katrina knows this is Victoria"s way of keeping their secret.
Afraid to expose her emotions, she says casually, "But I saw this dress first."
Victoria looks her up and down with her arms folded in disdain. "Are you contending with me?"
She lowers her voice to say, "Go in through the back door of the bar. There"s a blind spot in the surveillance cameras there."
At that moment, the clerk of the shop walks over hurriedly to help mediate, "Young lady, our store still has other new styles. Do you want to see the other styles we have?"
The shop only has one dress in this style. If two customers both want it, they can"t afford to offend either, so the only option is to try to and resolve the matter most peacefully.
After receiving the useful information from Victoria, Katrina doesn"t have to argue with her for the dress. She simply replies, "If Miss Roberts likes it, she can have it."
Then, suppressing her joy, she turns away.
After coming out of the shop, the two heelers follow to ask, "Miss Miller, did Miss Roberts bully you just now?"
"It"s just a dress." Katrina smiles. "She can have it if she likes it."
Katrina"s character has always been like this. She doesn"t like getting into conflict with others, and Aaron"s heelers know that she won"t fight with Victoria in public because of a dress.
After a few steps, Katrina turns around and says, "By the way, don"t tell Aaron about this. I don"t want him to get worried if he finds out."
At Katrina"s words, the two men nod. "Yes, Miss Miller."
Even if Katrina doesn"t want to fight, Aaron is very protective of her. If Aaron finds out that the dress Katrina likes went to someone else, he wouldn"t be easily consoled. He"ll find a way to get her the dress she wants. Knowing Aaron"s character, the heelers readily accept Katrina"s request.
Katrina is really interested in shopping and two hours pa.s.s quickly.
Men, by nature, hate shopping more than anything else, and the two men behind Katrina seem listless and less focused. They just want to sit down and have a good rest.
When they think about it sometimes, they find it to be a pretty strange thing.
Women are so effeminate that sometimes they don"t even have the strength to unscrew the lid of the drink. But they can wear high heels and walk around the mall all day.
Men obviously are a lot better than women in physical conditions, but when they accompany women to go shopping for an afternoon, they are physically exhausted.
Luckily, Katrina goes into the washroom they pa.s.s by.
The two men are able to sit on a bench outside and catch a moment"s rest while they wait for her to come out.
When Katrina enters the bathroom, she"s surprised to see a set of light blue cleaner"s uniform near the sink.
She remembers Victoria telling her that everything is all done.
As long as she can escape Aaron"s control, Victoria will send her back at any time.
And Katrina is definitely eager to go back.
A bold idea suddenly comes to her.
Katrina contemplates taking the chance to sneak away.
She will never get the chance to succeed without a bold attempt. She knows that the two men tailing her are so exhausted.
They probably won"t find out.
