As the clock struck 4 p.m., Blaire packed up her things and put them in her bag. She intended to leave early today because she was worried about Javier's condition due to his brother's beating this afternoon. She felt bad for her husband even though she didn't do it, but Bobby was her family, so Blaire always felt that Javier's mistreatment was because of her.Blaire took her cell phone out of her purse and saw no message from Javier and that made Blaire sigh."Why isn't he texting me? It's already 4pm, he usually says he'll pick me up," Blaire muttered as he watched his phone screen for almost 10 minutes but Javier hadn't texted him at all."Or should I text him first or call him directly?" But Blaire shook her head and decided against it."I'd disturb him if I did that. He must be so busy that he doesn't have time to call me, I have to understand his busy schedule." Blaire put her bag back in her pocket and got up from her seat."Should I take a cab home?" As she cleaned up her room
Jay was still waiting for Javier who was still meeting with clients. He was sitting outside the VIP room when he suddenly felt his cell phone vibrate in his pocket. Slightly confused, Jay took the phone out of his pocket and saw that the company's number was calling him."Did something happen?" muttered Jay as he picked up the phone, as it was rare for the receptionist to call him during off hours."Hello, what's up?" asked Jay when the call was connected."Sir, are you still accompanying Mr. Javier to the client meeting?" Instead of answering, the receptionist asked back which automatically made Jay even more confused. He also unconsciously nodded his head even though the receptionist couldn't see him."Yes, I'm still accompanying Mr. Javier to the meeting. Did something happen? Why are you suddenly asking me that?" Jay knew that something had happened in the office because something like this had never happened before. "There's Mrs. Blaire here looking for Mr. Javier..." As the re
"Well, thank you very much Mr. Jay." Jay now just nodded and said goodbye. Blaire continued to watch Jay's back as he slowly disappeared out of the company building."What's wrong? Why do you keep looking at him like that?" Javier asked confused."I feel bad for inconveniencing him, he even had to walk to his apartment and lend us his car," said Blaire feeling guilty and bad that Jay was too nice. Even though the car Jay was using was Javier's car and Jay could use Javier's other car, but of course Javier couldn't say that in front of Blaire."It's okay, Mr. Jay used to do that to other employees too," Javier lied."Really?" But Blaire seemed to believe him and Javier just chuckled softly while nodding his head. He lied on purpose so that Blaire would stop feeling bad for Jay, and Blaire seemed to believe him."Let's go home!" Blaire and Javier stepped out of the company building and drove home in what Blaire thought was Jay's car.Two hours later, they were eating their dinner that J
"You don't have to worry about that, it's just a normal dinner, Blaire," Javier said soothingly but Blaire was still worried. He wasn't someone who cared much about how he looked or what he wore but this was a dinner with someone important like Adam, and Blaire didn't want to embarrass Javier. She wanted to make a good impression on Adam so that Javier could still be treated well by them."No, I can't just wear normal clothes. Especially since this is a dinner invitation from Mr. Adam!" Blaire exclaimed but Javier just smiled at his wife."Blaire, Mr. Adam won't be upset just because you're dressed casually. He'll be happy just to see you." Of course Adam would be happy because this dinner was actually a Linford Family dinner which was Javier's family."But still, Jav!" Blaire got up from her seat and went to their bedroom to find a nice outfit she could wear to dinner tomorrow."See, right? There's nothing I can wear!" complained Blaire again as she continued to look at the clothes a
Javier finally drove his car out of his yard. He glanced at Blaire who was silent and busy staring out the window."I should have gotten ready earlier, now I have to leave in a sweatshirt and coat like this. I'll embarrass Blaire at the boutique later." Javier spoke to himself as he sighed in frustration. This was not going according to his plan."Jay also made an appointment at a boutique inside a fancy mall, but I'm dressed like this," Javier continued to complain. Blaire now glanced at Javier and noticed something strange about the expression on her husband's face."Are you okay, Jav?" Blaire asked Javier with a nod. He was a little surprised that Blaire was watching him."Yes, I'm fine," Javier replied, clearing his throat nervously. He was going to surprise Blaire but for some reason he was the one who was nervous.Blaire finally just nodded because she no longer saw the strange expression on her husband's face, she returned to staring out the window. She was actually happy that
Javier knew that this was going to happen so he deliberately told Jay to book an appointment at this store and ask one of the employees to pick out an outfit for Blaire later. He deliberately did this in case anyone would look down on him again just because of his appearance or Blaire's appearance. Both of them looked like they shouldn't be in this luxurious mall."N-no, we're just passing through..." Blaire replied a little nervously. She didn't want to make a scene among the rich people, so she intended to ask Javier to leave."Blaire, why do you say that? We're not just passing through," Javier retorted as Blaire was already ahead of him answering the boutique's security guard. But Blaire shook his head and brought his face closer to Javier's ear."This boutique is too fancy, I don't think we should be here. Jav, let's go somewhere else! I don't need clothes anyway..." But Javier kept shaking his head, of course he didn't want to go. They didn't look like they belonged here, but Jav
"Mr. Javier! You're Mr. Javier, right?" said an employee who immediately approached him with a big, friendly smile. He was followed by the security guard who insulted Javier earlier, but there was a difference in the expression on his face. He looked both embarrassed and guilty for insulting Javier earlier."Right, I'm Javier," Javier replied. He glanced at the security guard who wasn't looking at him at all. His anger subsided, he sighed and felt that he couldn't be angry with the security guard anymore. He felt that the security guard was just doing his job and it was only natural for him to look at people by their appearance, especially in a place like this. So Javier's anger disappeared in an instant."Please forgive our security guard, he must have mistaken you for someone else." The security guard immediately bowed his body, apologizing to Javier and Javier just smiled while nodding his head."He said that if he had said anything bad to you, we would have disciplined him," the em
"Ma'am, I've picked out some dresses for you and other clothes. You can try them on now," the employee said as she brought several pairs of clothes for Blaire to try on. Blaire, who had been choosing, finally approached the employee and took the clothes from her hand. She looked surprised that she had to try on so many clothes that she was only going to buy one, there was no way she could ask Javier to buy all these clothes.Javier understood Blaire's confusion and knew that his wife was surprised that she had to try on so many clothes."Blaire, let's try them on and wear them. I'll pick out the best fit for you," Javier said making Blaire turn to him immediately."I have to try on this many?" asked Blaire, who was nodded at by Javier and the store employees."This is the system in this boutique, ma'am. You can try on several outfits and you can choose the one that suits you best. Mr. Javier can also help you choose, so you can come out of the dressing room for a while after trying th
