Unexpected Encounter with my Boss

Chapter 9

Brianna was standing by Tiffany's bed, holding the scarf Vincent had gifted her.

"Tiff?" Brianna exclaimed upon seeing Tiffany return. She hurriedly stuffed the scarf back into the bag and walked over to Tiffany. She took Tiffany's hand and asked. "Tiff, when did you move back into the dorm? Why didn't you tell me?"

Tiffany withdrew her hand and walked right past Brianna. "Didn't you move out?"

"Yeah, I came back to get some stuff." Brianna followed her and pointed at the designer bag on the rack. "Tiff, is that scarf yours?"

"It's mine." Tiffany glanced at her coldly. "Is there a problem?"

"No." Brianna's smile seemed forced. "That's the limited Louis Vuitton scarf that was just released last month. It's expensive and hard to get. I've had my eye on it, so I was just wondering how you'd managed to buy one." Tiffany glanced at the bag, which indeed bore the luxury brand's logo. Vincent had given it to her, but she had no intention of keeping it. So, she hadn't paid much attention to it enough to realize its value.

"A friend gave it to me," Tiffany said vaguely. "I don't know much about it."

"Which friend?" Brianna pressed, her disbelief evident.

She had been Tiffany's best friend for years, so naturally, she knew how limited Tiffany's circle of friends was. In fact, besides Brianna and William, Tiffany didn't have any other friends.

"You don't know them," Tiffany answered flatly.

Brianna was about to ask more questions when her phone rang. She took the call in front of Tiffany.

"Hello, William... Yeah, I'm in the dorm. I was thinking of having Friane cuisine for lunch... Yes, that place we went to last time... Okay. I'll come find you later."

After hanging up, Brianna said, "Tiff, you should get some rest. I have to get going now."

Tiffany didn't bother with niceties. She simply sat on the bed and opened her laptop. When Brianna saw that, her lips curled. Then, she left the dormitory.

William glanced at it and removed a few items. "Are you sure you can finish all of this?" he asked.
