Chapter 138 Not Quite Yet

“What what’s all this!”

Maggie’s head swam, but she forced herself not to faint right then and there..

On the row of rolling clothes racks hung all sorts of weird outfits: school uniforms, flight attendant uniforms, maid dresses, bunny suits.

What’s with the long tail?

Sexy little fox?

Various flashy lace trims and silky fabrics adorned everything, making it all look overwhelmingly extravagant. Even the clothes that weren’t as over–the–top seemed to carry some sort of meaning.

Maggie couldn’t resist taking one piece out, her face a mix of emotions she couldn’t quite put into words.

Nathael. He’s into this kind of thing!

Maggie hung the clothes back on the rack and closed her eyes, feeling unsettled about herself.

So, did Nathael call me to get back at me for the cross–dressing stunt I pulled on him that day?

Maggie sank back into the sofa, eyeing the row of garish clothes, feeling her frustration skyrocket, wishing she could just leave right away.

But then Ericko’s call came in.

“How’s it there?” came the gentle voice through the phone.

Maggie calmed down a bit and let out a sigh. “It’s fine.”

Maggie couldn’t hold back and asked, but Ericko stayed quiet for a moment before speaking gently. “He’s always been a free spirit, so it’s possible.”

Hearing this, Maggie’s heart sank a little. She slouched on the sofa, looking disheartened, and staring blankly at the row of clothes.
