Divorce Anxiety (Kathleen and Samuel)

Samuel read the text Remy sent him without any expression on his face.

He had no idea what Remy was talking about.

I’m better off without his help.

Charles was driving as he asked, “Why didn’t you reject the offer?”

“There’s no need for that. I like the director and the script,” came Kathleen’s answer. “But Samuel…”

Ugh, I don’t feel like saying it.

“Kate, have you ever considered this? If you remain single, Samuel will keep pestering you,” Charles said solemnly. “You kept a distance from Christopher, so Samuel thinks he still has a chance.”

“Charles, I can’t really use Christopher to get rid of Samuel, can I? That isn’t fair to Christopher,” Kathleen explained.

Charles knew that Kathleen would never compromise when it concerned her love life. She was not that particular, too.

Forget it. I’ll have to come up with an idea to deal with Samuel.

“Charles, can you pull up at the shopping mall ahead? I need to buy some stuff,” Kathleen said. “Don’t tag along, for I want to shop alone. Find out who the male lead is and what he is like.”

After saying that, Kathleen unbuckled her seatbelt and got off.

Charles could not even stop her in time.

I shouldn’t have said that out loud. It’s obvious that Kathleen doesn’t have any romantic feelings for Christopher. He’s a great guy, but she doesn’t like him. Should I get her eyes checked?

Meanwhile, Kathleen was shopping alone with a cap and mask covering her face.

It was nice to be able to shop alone.

She got herself some stuff and went to pay for her purchases at the counter.

When it was her turn, she belatedly realized she did not bring her purse out.

It was normal to pay using one’s phone nowadays, but she still had not gotten herself a local phone number.

Sh*t, this is embarrassing.

“Let me pay for your purchases.” A woman’s voice rang out behind her.

Kathleen turned at her shoulder in surprise. “Gem!”

Gemma shot her an exasperated look. “Why didn’t you bring your purse out?”

“I forgot. I don’t even have a local phone number,” Kathleen replied, pouting her lips.
