Susan didn’t expect to bump into Tom and Felicia here.
When the two of them left the state back then, they said that they would succeed in Hollywood. Now, just when she had heard the news of their return, she actually bumped into them at the brand store.
Was she lucky or unlucky?
Susan stood still in the fitting room. Tom’s voice traveled quickly. “It’s nice. It suits you.”
His tone was deeper and more stable from three years ago.
“Miss Yates, do you need me to help you pull up the zip?”
Perhaps seeing that Susan didn’t come out after a long time, the salesgirl tentatively asked a question outside the fitting room.
She sighed with no emotions on her face. She replied flatly, ‘No need.”
After a short silence, Felicia subconsciously looked at the closed door of the fitting room. Then, she looked at Tom, whose expression had changed slightly. The smile in her eyes gradually faded and she returned the gown in her hands to the salesgirl. She held Tom’s arm and said, “Pab, I want to go to another store. I don’t really like the color of the clothes here!”
“Alright, let’s go then.”
Seeing that Tom didn’t show any nostalgia, Felicia silently heaved a sigh of relief.
Until the sound of their footsteps became further and after a long time, Susan walked out from the fitting room.
“Miss Yates, are you… alright?”
The salesgirl handed her a bottle of water and her eyes were full of concern. A trace of regret could be seen faintly in her eyes.
What happened between Tom and Susan was so popular among the fans back then. She actually mentioned Miss Yates in front of them just now.
Susan smiled at her and didn’t say anything. She glanced at the gown on her body, which looked dull.
“Aside from this, wrap up the rest for me and send it to the previous address.”
“Yes.”
…
After leaving the brand store, the sky was approaching dusk. The golden sun was gradually dyed red.
At the entrance of Parkson Mall, Susan wore her sunglasses and rubbed her temples. As she was about to leave, footsteps approached behind her, accompanied by the long-missed name-calling, “Sue.”
Susan stopped and she felt complicated.
The light around her became dim and Tom’s tall figure had already blocked her way.
Tom was wearing a dark blue casual suit. His hair was combed back and waxed. His smooth cheeks were handsome and his eyes were deep and affectionate. Indeed, he was the one who had charmed fans back then.
Susan looked up slightly. Their eyes met.
As she breathed, her lips curved up and she said faintly, “Long time no see.”
With these words, her voice was full of unfamiliarity and alienation.
Susan looked at him. The moment they met each other again, she felt the sourness and sadness in her heart slowly fading away. The feelings that were once buried also seemed to have faded as time passed by.
When they met again, there were surprisingly no feelings of reluctance or disappointment. It was purely just a tribute to the absurdity of forking out her feelings back then.
Tom frowned slightly and his handsome face was filled with worries. “Why didn’t you come out of the fitting room just now?”
Obviously, Tom knew that the person inside the fitting room just now was her!
A trace of mockery flashed past Susan’s cold lips. “What for? So that I can see you and Felicia being lovey-dovey?”
“Sue, it’s not what you think. Back then, Felicia and I…”
“Alright!” Susan interrupted Tom’s words. “No matter what it is between the two of you, I’m not interested. I still have something on and will take my leave first.”
Her face hardened and she turned around and left. At this moment, Susan’s coldness was at the same level as Tom’s betrayal back then.
“Sue.”
Tom pulled her wrist. Susan was caught off guard and took a step back.
Her shoulder knocked into Tom. At such a close distance, she could smell a crisp fruity scent and an unfamiliar cologne on his body.
Susan flung away his hand in disgust. Slight pain spread from her wrist. She looked at him coldly and asked, “Tom, what do you want?”
