I even mentioned it to the store clerk during a later visit, lamenting how unlucky I was. The clerk had looked puzzled and said, "Didn't your husband buy it?"
When she saw my confusion, she froze for a second, then quickly apologized, claiming she had made a mistake.
At the time, I just laughed it off and didn't think much of it.
So, it wasn't a mistake by the salesperson, Dexter had bought the necklace I liked and given it to his assistant instead.
"Mrs. Keaton, are you leaving? Let me walk you out," Scarlett said with a smile that clearly didn't reach her eyes.
I suspected she had something she wanted to say to me. "Sure," I said.
We walked in silence until we approached the company's entrance. Finally, Scarlett couldn't hold back anymore and stopped me, "Mrs. Keaton."
I inwardly chuckled, so young, so impatient. "Yes?" I casually asked back.
"I'm pregnant," she said, deliberately puffing out a belly that wasn't even there yet, her face full of smugness. I gestured for her to continue.
"It's Dexter's," she said, her eyes gleaming with provocation.
"Oh? Then you've got the wrong person. I'm not the child's father, you should go find Dexter," I replied casually.
