slowly for emphasis.

Brie’s grip on the pen tightened, and she stared daggers at Caroline. “Fine Ill do it,” she spar

through gritted teeth.

Seeing that Brie had finally written down her name, Caroline felt the satisfaction she’d

anticipated. She turned to Gwen and said, “Gwen, let’s go.”

Heartily, Gwen agreed. Before walking past Brie, she said to her, “Thank you, Ms. Collins, for being so magnanimous.” It made Brie so pissed that she flung the pen at the ground.

After leaving the auction house, Gwen hooked an arm around Caroline’s and said, “Cardi, you were so cool just now! I think I’m going to start fangirling over you!”

“You’re exaggerating!” came Caroline’s reply.

“It’s true!” exclaimed Gwen.

“Brie always mocked you in the past. You told me before that the Morrisons and the Collins were close, and you had to bear with her because you didn’t want to make things ugly between them

It’s so satisfying that you finally taught her a lesson!”

Caroline smiled at those words as she glanced up at the sky. Indeed, she’d felt the utmost pleasme in achieving that. She realized that she’d started becoming more relaxed and unrestrained after

leaving Eddy.

“Oh right! Where are we going next?” asked Gwen, curious.

“Let’s buy a necktie,” Caroline answered, looking at the emerald bracelet on her wrist

“Are you thinking of giving Mr. Morrison Senior a necktie?” asked Gwen Caroline shook her head

in response.

“Then… are you giving it to… that guy?” Gwen voiced her suspicion. “Carol, are you out of your mind? He has another woman out there. Why are you giving him a present?”
