Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Request for a day off?

Truth be told, Frida had never planned on going at all. She had merely said so to stall.

Hailey's birthday party was nothing more than a set-up for her.

With that, Frida darted her eyes and mumbled, "I did. I told him about it today, but he did not agree to it."

"Why not? Did you tell him that it's your classmate's birthday? You should say that it's a very important day. You're working every day anyway. It doesn't matter if you miss a day." Oh, easy for Hailey to say.

Her job had an attendance bonus. If she worked every day, she could get an extra two hundred dollars a month. The money may not mean anything to them, maybe just the price of a meal.

However, that would be Frida's living expenses for quite a few days.

Hence, she could not take a break.

"I'm sorry, Hailey. I really can't attend. If he fires me, I'll be doomed."

After that, Frida took out the gift that she bought for Hailey and handed it to her.

"By the way, I got you this. Although it isn't worth much, it comes from my heart."

Hailey glanced at the item in her hand; noticing it was packaged in a worthless ordinary box, contempt arose within her.

However, to put on a show, Hailey took the gift and said with a smile, "Thank you. Actually, it'll make me happier if you can come to my birthday party instead."

Only a dumbo would believe in such phony words. Frida scoffed internally but did not let it show.

"I'm really sorry. If I'm able to, I hope I can attend your birthday next year. Happy birthday, Hailey. I hope you have a blast."

"Thanks, Frida. I'll save some cake for you. By the way, Mashauva isn't going either. She said she had something important to do that day. Do you know what?"
