"I'll take this model. Please give me a new one, and I'll pay at the counter." Elvira ignored Calvin and went to the counter.
Calvin did not expect Elvira to ignore him, and he erupted in frustration, "Elvira, what's this game you're playing? Weren't you following me to get my attention? Why pretend like you don't know anything?"
As Calvin moved towards Elvira, reaching for her arm, she swiftly evaded his grasp and shot him a cold glance. "Mr. Kennedy, mind your manners!" she warned.
"You..." Calvin seethed with frustration at her attitude. 'You're just pretending. You came here because you knew I was nearby. Wasn't dressing up your attempt to win me back?' he thought.
"Elvira, let me make it clear to you. Judy is the one I love, and there's no chance of us reconciling," Calvin stated firmly with a cold expression.
Elvira found Calvin utterly ridiculous, so she paid for the purchase and was prepared to leave, wanting nothing to do with this stupid man.
"Hello, Ms. Willis. It's been a long time since we've seen each other." John scanned Elvira from head to toe, his eyes gleaming.
Elvira remained silent. She had known John Smith since her time with Calvin. Though he was one of Calvin's close friends, she had always found his character dubious and had never bothered to interact with him.
"Miss, your purchase is ready," the staff member in the mobile phone store announced, unaware of the situation unfolding. However, she found the two men's behavior ridiculous. The elegant lady had come to buy a mobile phone, but they suddenly appeared and started sprouting nonsense.
To shield Elvira from the two annoying men, the staff member intentionally positioned herself between Elvira and the two men as she handed over the mobile phone to Elvira. Recognizing the gesture, Elvira smiled at the female staff member.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Just then, Elvira's phone rang, and she promptly answered. "Hello," she greeted. "I just bought a new mobile phone for Grandma Tracy. See you in a while." With that, Elvira left the store without sparing a glance at the two men. Calvin was speechless, his anger simmering beneath the surface.
John's gaze lingered on Elvira, filled with lustful desire as he admired her slender waist. With a smirk, he drew Calvin closer and remarked, "You really ended things with Elvira? Such a beautiful woman, what a shame." "There's nothing to regret. Elvira is like a tigress, and I'm relieved to be rid of her," Calvin raged, his words fueled by the sting of Elvira's dismissive attitude, his pride wounded.
"In that case, I'm going to woo Elvira! Don't get jealous!" John said with a smirk.
Calvin felt a twinge of discomfort at John's words. Yet, still perturbed by Elvira's attitude and steadfast in his affection for Judy, he responded coolly, "Whatever. I could even lend you a hand if you need it." Calvin omitted the details about Elvira's marriage. 'I wonder if Elvira would leave her husband if a wealthy suitor pursued her, he thought, intrigued by the prospect.
"Alright! Remember what you promised today!" John said with a playful punch to Calvin's shoulder.
After the frustrating encounter with Elvira, Calvin no longer desired to linger. With a grim expression, he exited the store alongside John.
As they reached the mall entrance, Calvin noticed Elvira's husband stepping out to open the car door for her. He observed as she entered a luxury car worth over two million dollars.

What a vain man. Does he think he'll become wealthy by renting a luxury car? Calvin sneered at the sight, his brows furrowing even deeper than before. 'Elvira, you'll regret your choices one day! he thought. 80%
Elvira sat in the luxurious car, her expression devoid of surprise or shock. Zach felt his heart pounding as he observed her calm and cool expression. "Is there anything you want to ask me?" he asked. Why is she not surprised that I've changed cars? Zach thought, feeling perplexed.
"Of course. So, what's your explanation for the photos?" Elvira questioned, her arms crossed in front of her.
ach was so surprised by her response that he looked at her without saying a word. 'Are you not curious why I have such an expensive car and can even afford a driver?' he wondered.
"Elvira, I'm so sorry. I must confess that you weren't in my office today. That office belonged to Mr. Lewis, one of our company managers. It was his daughter, who is in college now. I have proof here," Zach said after a momentary pause.
Zach had asked the office manager for his family photos before meeting Elvira. He immediately took them out and showed Elvira the family photos of Derrick Lewis and his daughter through the years.
After looking at the photos, Elvira believed he was telling the truth. She sighed, gazing at her handsome husband, and spoke softly. "You don't have to do this. No matter your position or where you work, I won't mind."
Zach felt ashamed and regretful. While holding her hand, he said, "Elvira, I am so sorry. I shouldn't have lied to you."
"It's good that you realize your mistake," Elvira comforted. "I understand that people can be prideful and vain. But it's okay f you don't have a fancy office. You don't need to borrow a colleague's office just to please me. My opinion of you won't change because of where you work," Elvira said earnestly.
Zach, who had been intending to reveal his true identity to Elvira, became confused. "What?" he asked, taken aback by her unexpected response.
"Wait, what? I borrowed a colleague's office?' he thought. 'No, wait. My dear, why is your reaction and train of thought different from what I imagined. These thoughts raced through Zach's mind.
"Dear, I'm actually..." Zach tried to confess.
Before Zach could finish his sentence, Elvira silenced him by placing her finger on his lips. And she said gently, "Zach, you don't have to explain further. I believe you, and I understand why you do that!" Though still a little perplexed, Zach found it increasingly difficult to focus as Elvira's actions stirred intense sensations throughout his body.
Elvira gently pinched Zach's earlobes and smiled, "We'll work hard together so Grandma Tracy can live with us in a big house. And you'll have a car like this too, so you won't need to borrow from your friend again."
Zach felt Elvira's cool fingers on his burning ears, sending a shiver down his spine. Unable to focus on Elvira's comment about borrowing a car, he found himself captivated by the stunning woman before him. All he wanted was to embrace her tightly and feel her melt into him.
Zach lifted her onto his lap, his hand firm around her slender waist as he cradled her head with the other. Leaning in he initiated a kiss, and Elvira slipped her tongue into his mouth, igniting a surge of heat between them. The temperature in the car rose quickly as their lips moved in unison, changing from passionate to fiery lust.
Elvira felt a tinge of embarrassment, knowing the driver was present in the car with them. She stifled any sounds, holding back her moans. As Zach attempted to unzip her dress, Elvira stopped him. "Don't do that. It won't look good if it gets wrinkled," she mumbled softly. 12:19 Sat, 23 Nov

Zach then slid his hand under her dress, gently caressing her smooth thighs, finding temporary solace in the intimate touch.
As planned, Zach brought her to a Western restaurant, where they enjoyed a romantic and cozy candlelight dinner,
Zach and Elvira visited Tracy at the hospital after their dinner. Elvira took out the new mobile phone she bought for Tracy and gifted it to her. Tracy was delighted and couldn't stop praising Elvira's gown too.
Tracy's smile widened as she noticed Zach's gloomy expression. She couldn't help but marvel at Elvira's capabilities, realizing she was the only one capable of evoking such emotions in her grandson.
Calvin couldn't quite pinpoint why he felt so frustrated. Sensing his somber mood, Judy approached with a cup of milk. Clad in a silky nightgown, she wrapped her arms around him from behind and whispered in his ear, "Calvin, what's troubling you?"
