Instead, the crowd looked at them in surprise or disbelief.
In the face of this cold reception, Callum and Isabel appeared confused.
I couldn't help but bow my head in deep thought, recalling how I had come to like such a man who acted casually in life and thought highly of himself, a man with neither substance nor wealth.
I slowly stepped out from the crowd and came in front of Isabel and Callum, explaining with a smile, "Don't you guys realize that all the people gathered here are either rich or noble?"
Callum didn't even bother to look at me squarely and said contemptuously, "Ashley, you see I'm not poor anymore. This money is a reward for you, enough for two months' salary. But don't think we can get back together."
I turned to the staff member checking identities, asking, "Did you check their cards when they entered the mall?"
The staff carefully looked at the faces of Callum and Isabel and apologized to me repeatedly.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Our mall is so hot today that I overlooked them and didn't have time to check their cards."
