Chapter 28
Ada checked on her boss from the rearview mirror and saw her contemplating something, then shaking her head vehemently before contemplating something again.
Ada got curious and asked, "What do you have in mind, Miss? You seem... distressed—wait, distress is not the right word. Uh... shy? You look shy."
"Shy?! O—Of course not! I’m not shy at all!" Madeline quickly denied it, but that denial made her look even more comically in love.
Ada chuckled. She had a faint guess of what probably had happened between Madeline and Lance in the CEO’s office.
Madeline shopped through Rodeo Drive, and it was another day for her to get photographed.
The visitors around Rodeo Drive expected Madeline to start posting again.
But not today.
She simply bought all the outfits she wanted and ignored everyone. She even ignored a hater who yelled at the top of her lungs, calling Madeline a slut.
Her mind was occupied with Lance Grant and that stupid kiss they had shared. If only she could turn back time, she would have avoided the kiss because now, whenever she bit her lower lips, she could feel the sweetness when she kissed that man.
’Ah, this is bad. This is really bad,’ Madeline fretted as she absentmindedly stared at the luxury bag presented in front of her. ’I think this is the side effect of not having any kind of contact with men other than my brother for four years straight. One kiss is enough to give me weird ideas.’
"Miss Rose, are you interested in this bag? Or do you want me to find another one that might suit you?" the clerk asked.
Madeline kept staring at the bag for ten more seconds until she replied, "Give me a dark green bag. I don’t care which type."
