“Then, how can you be sure that John likes Sherri?” Erwin could see that John treated Sherri half-heartedly!

Carlos chuckled. “If he doesn’t like her, then why are they engaged? No one’s forcing him!”

Erwin shook his head. “How should I know? You’d get an answer faster if you asked John!”

“Humph. I simply asked about Kathleen just now, and his face instantly turned gloomy. If I question him about Sherri, won’t he think that I want to steal his women!”

Erwin burst out laughing when he heard Carlos’s words. “In Hillford, only you dare to steal his women!”

Carlos patted his chest, smirking. “That’s right! Only I’m brave enough to do that!”

“Seriously, if you have your eyes on Sherri, I’m not sure how John will react. However, if you lay your finger on Kathleen, the consequences will be dire!”

Carlos leaned against the sofa, and he was slightly drowsy from the alcohol, and he started to spurt drunken gibberish, “I don’t give a damn about him. I want to marry Kathleen, not Sherri! If John disapproves, I’ll find Kathleen directly.. I refuse to believe that Kathleen won’t agree to marry me!”

“If only things are as easy as you said!” Erwin was not as optimistic as him.

Carlos waved his hands. “Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. One more bottle, please!”

“Hey! You’re still drinking?!” Erwin took the glass away from Carlos and frowned. “Stop drinking. Look at how drunk you are now!”

“I’m not drunk!” Carlos said and tried to stand. However, before he could take a step, he fell to the sofa. 

Erwin saw him staggering and felt helpless. “Seriously. He’s such a light drinker, and yet he doesn’t know how to control himself.”

He walked toward Carlos and steadied him. “That’s enough. Let’s go home!”

“I don’t want to leave. Let’s continue drinking! Cheers!” Carlos waved his hands around, acting as if he was not intoxicated.

Erwin rubbed his temples. Then, he carried Carlos into his car and sent him home.

At Lambert’s residential villa.

As it was a Sunday, Kathleen did not need to go to the company, and she could finally sleep in.

When she woke up, she looked at the sunlight outside, smiling faintly.

Amazing! The weather that day seemed great.

She opened the door and was ready to go downstairs when her phone suddenly rang.

Kathleen took a look at her phone and noticed that it was Nancy, so she directly answered the call. “Hello?”

Soon, Nancy’s clear voice could be heard. “Kathy, it’s the weekend. Do you want to go out and have some fun?”

Kathleen was curious. “What type of ‘fun’?”

She had been cleaning the house every day, as well as doing the maid’s chores. As a result, her life was very dull due to the repetitive tasks.

Even if she were to go out, she would not know what to do.

Nancy giggled. “We can go shopping and get some things that us women used!”

Kathleen did not understand what she meant. “Things that women used?”

“That’s right! Such as undergarments, down jackets, base layers, shoes, and bags!” Nancy excitedly said, “A fur jacket recently caught my eyes, but unfortunately, I can’t afford it. However, I still want you to take a look at it!”

Kathleen smiled faintly. “Alright. I’ll go with you!”

“Okay! Then, we’ll meet at the mall entrance at ten o’clock!”

Kathleen nodded and hung up the phone.

After freshening up, she changed into a clean set of clothes and was ready to go out.

Then, she coincidentally saw John walking out of his room.

He was wearing a blue suit, and he looked even more handsome than usual. 

When Kathleen saw him, she lowered her head. “Young Master!”

John noticed that she dressed up, and he raised his brows. “You’re going out?”

Kathleen nodded.

John approached her and asked, “Where are you going?”

“Nancy asked me to join her shopping.”

John was stunned, then he laughed. “Shopping?”

Kathleen rubbed her fingers, answering, “If Young Master doesn’t want me to go, I won’t go!”

“Go ahead!” The girl was grown, and she would want to do things that she liked. Kathleen had always been a quiet person, so it was great that she went shopping with her friend. 

When Kathleen heard John’s reply, she felt relieved. “Thank you, Young Master!”

After having her breakfast, Kathleen rode her bike to the mall.

The mall was one of the biggest malls in the city, and there was a superb collection of products inside. Whether it was clothes, bags, skincare products, undergarments, watches, or children’s clothing… One could find everything there.

Nancy loved to window-shop at this mall. Even though she could not afford most of them, she thought it was still fun to look at them.

At the mall, Kathleen noticed Nancy standing at the mall entrance at a glance. 

She was wearing white athletic wear, waving at Kathleen. “Hey, Kathy! I’m here!”

Kathleen smiled when she saw Nancy. Then, after locking her bicycle, she walked toward Nancy.

As soon as Kathleen was closer, Nancy immediately rushed to her and hugged her. “I miss you so much!”

They would meet each other at school every day, but they did not get to meet each other anymore due to the winter break.

Seeing the enthusiastic Nancy, Kathleen also showed a more tender expression. “Aren’t we meeting now? I can spend time shopping with you today!”

“Hehe. We should meet each other more often! That way, I won’t miss you as much!”

Nancy tickled Kathleen’s funny bones. She and Nancy were polar opposite. 

Nancy was talkative, and Kathleen was the quiet one. Nancy was the funny girl, and Kathleen was the serious type. Who knew that such different personalities would actually make them good friends.

Nancy sized Kathleen up and down, asking suspiciously, “What happened? People usually gain weight during the holiday. Why do you seem to be thinner than before?”

Back then, Kathleen’s clothes fitted her well, but now her jacket was loose, and it seemed oversized.

Kathleen faked a smile. “I can’t help it. I don’t gain weight easily.” 

“You’re just trying to make me jealous!” Nancy gains weight easily. For the sake of maintaining her figure, she cut out sugar and carbohydrates from her diet. Hence, her daily meals were really insipid.

On the contrary, Kathleen did not need to worry about losing weight, which was really an envious trait for most girls.

Kathleen gently comforted, “Well, I’m jealous of you! Your figure is well-proportioned. Not only are you curvy, but you’re athletic too! This is what a great body looks like!”

Nancy was surprised. “Haha! Kathleen, you’ve changed! You’ve become such a sweet-talker after this winter break!”

Kathleen smiled. “I can’t help it. I have such a sweet-talker as my best friend. Hence, I’m influenced by you!”

 The two of them met each other’s gaze and laughed.

At this moment, a Ferrari stopped by the roadside. 

The cool design, as well as the boastful 666 car plate number, had attracted everyone’s attention.

Nancy was shocked. “Kathy, the Ferrari is already so expensive, but that car plate number is also 666!”

Such a number could not be bought just because you had the money. “The person in the car must be wealthy and influential!” 

Kathleen never cared about such a thing. Thus, she pulled Nancy’s hand and was ready to walk into the mall.

Unexpectedly, the tall and gentle-looking man got out of the car, stopping Kathleen. “Ms. Yates, wait a minute!”
