“Lola!” Doris bit her lip. She was so teased that her face turned red, and even her ears blushed a rosy pink, looking truly lovely.

You really can’t take a joke.” Lola shook her head.

I’m going to get to work,” Doris said, heading toward the production area. She didn’t have a break until after lunch.

“Lola, I’m going out for a bit, just to buy something, I’ll be right back.” Doris grabbed her bag.

Lola stopped her, curious. “What are you buying?”

“I won’t tell you.” Afraid of Lola’s teasing. Doris didn’t want to say the truth.

Lola instantly saw through it. “You’re buying something for your Mr. Hartman, right?”

“My Mr. Hartman?” Doris couldn’t help but smile.

“What are you going for?” Doris asked.

“I can help you pick, and while I’m at it, I’ll buy Mr. Mitchell some small gifts.” Lola untied her apron and handed it to the staff. “Jennett, please take care of this for me.”

Lola then hooked her arm around Doris’s, and they left the shop together.

They got into the car, and Doris buckled her seatbelt. “Lola, don’t you think you’re being a bit much? You used to say men should spend money on women, and women just need to enjoy. Don’t you feel embarrassed now?”

Those men were just trying to please me, but I didn’t actually like them. Now, I’m the one pursuing Mr. Mitchell. I’m happy to spend money on him. It’s worth it,” Lola lectured.

“This isn’t a clear situation. You’re spending money and investing your feelings. Remember, you’re a woman. Couldn’t you be a little more reserved?” Doris was worried that if Lola put in so much effort without getting anything back, it would only bring her pain.

“If being reserved worked, I’d already be Ivan’s girlfriend by now.” Lola glanced at Doris, then looked forward again. “I just want to enjoy the process. Whatever outcome, I’ll leave it to fate. I’m not forcing anything.”
