Chapter 147: Do you want to link arms or something?_1
Accompany?
Carson Flores tilted his head, slightly surprised, "Social obligations?"
Shirley Miller pursed her lips, her expression a tad unnatural, "Sort of. He’s my college classmate from the west of the city, he’s running a business in Seashore. Seems like he’s here in Polgel to discuss some kind of partnership and has asked me out to dinner. I’m the local host, so it wouldn’t be nice to refuse."
Carson Flores nodded in realization and chuckled, "A suitor?"
Shirley Miller nodded, "That’s right. I told him I was already married, but he didn’t believe it. He even said that if I really was married, he’d invite both me and my husband to dinner. I don’t want him bothering me, so I want to completely dispel his thoughts."
Carson Flores laughed, "So this time I’m not playing the driver, but the husband, right?"
Shirley Miller looked a bit embarrassed. After bringing up the matter, she also realized that it was somewhat inappropriate to ask Carson Flores for this favor. After all, her nominal husband hadn’t benefited at all, yet he still had to play her husband without some sort of benefit to himself.
"Let it be... I can bring our marriage certificate, that should prove I’m married."
Carson Flores laughed, "He’s come chasing all the way to Polgel, seems like a die-hard admirer. Even if you show the marriage certificate, it probably won’t help. After all, people can divorce even after they’re married... Anyway, I’ve got nothing else going on, I’ll accompany you."
Shirley Miller gazed at Carson Flores’s hearty smile, her eyes slightly puzzled, "Aren’t you angry?"
