MY GORGEOUS WIFE IS AN EX-CONVICT

Part 21 Continue

“This model is good enough!” He cut her off. He lowered his head to take a serious look at the mobile phones.

Suddenly, a voice was heard from behind them, saying, “Oh claire”
Claire lifted her head and saw lea hoston and another woman walking toward them. They were out shopping.

When they came near claire saw that the other woman was another of her high school classmates lucy.

“What a coincidence seeing you here! Is that your boyfriend? Lea asked as she sized up isaac who was standing beside claire.

When lucy saw that claire did not respond, she said, “Hey lea, don’t spout nonsense. I heard that claire has a rich boyfriend. This guy doesn’t dress like a rich guy. What a cheap set of clothes!”
W

ow. That was horribly rude.

Claire snuck a glance at isaac but his expression was bland. Anyone watching would think he was oblivious to her classmate’s catty comments.

Lucy raised her brows. “Oh! Are you feeling awkward? I forgot that your boyfriend already has a new girlfriend and they will be getting engaged soon. Over the past few days, the papers were reporting on the engagement between Hendrix and and audrey. They are well-matched in social and economic status! By the way, does your new boyfriend know that you’re sweeping the streets?”Sigh.

“Why did you say that?”lea commented.

Lea wasn’t stupid. There were privacy laws and the gossiping she was engaging in with lucy could get her tangled up at work. If claire bothered to report it. If the higher-ups cared to write up her supervisor. If they wanted to take the word of an ex-con.

“What I’ve said is true. Didn’t you say that she is currently working in the Sanitation Service Center?!” Maria said arrogantly.

Claire looked coldly at lucy. Since lucy was out to humiliate her, she would ignore her, lest she becomes more aggressive.

She wasn’t even angry for herself but for the cruelty toward Jay. Making fun of a man’s clothes… how petty was that?

Claire turned her head away from the woman and asked isaac which model do you prefer?”

“This one,” he replied after choosing one of the mobile phones.

Claire told the cashier to ring it up and get a new unit for her.

“Go and sign up for a number claire said.

“All right. I’ll get it done tomorrow when I pass by the service provider isaac replied.

The two of them spoke as though they were the only ones around, disregarding lea and lucy.lea was not agitated, but lucy was fuming with anger.

She was insulting claire, but she felt as though she was the one being humiliated!

When lucy saw claire taking out her mobile phone to make the payment, she taunted, “What? Do you have to pay for the mobile phone? Claire are you spending money on a gigolo? However, you don’t earn much by sweeping the streets. That’s why you’re getting such a cheap mobile phone.”
