Mr. Ford is Jealous

Chapter 34

Chapter 34

That day, Yvonne didn’t go straight home. She usually did when she got off work. Instead, she went to Stella and asked if she would like to go shopping. Stella thought about it for a while and accepted Yvonne’s invitation. She had just got off the phone with Roger, who told her that he was going to a party with his classmates that evening. Since they were starting a new life in a new city, Stella thought it would be a good idea to make new friends, and she agreed to go out with Yvonne.
“My husband invited some guests to dinner this evening,” Yvonne told Stella, “and I really don’t have anything to wear! Will you help me choose something nice?”

The two women then went on to shop for a little longer. “My husband’s here to pick us up,” Yvonne announced after checking her phone. “He’s waiting for us in the car nearby.” Yvonne then led Stella there in a hurry to a car that was waiting for them in the parking lot behind the mall. A black car, it looked classy and expensive but not in a flashy way.
Stella froze in her tracks. She began to have some reservations. She remembered seeing the exact brand in Weston’s garage, although she’d forgotten what it was called. But as soon as they turned up in the parking lot, the driver of that car stepped out and walked towards Yvonne.
