Lucas and Rachel were discussing what clothes they should buy for Mendes.
When the saleswoman was wondering when it would be an appropriate time to give them her opinion, the boy suddenly saw the toy behind the two shelves.
Mendes was so delighted by what he saw that he ran to it without hesitation.
Rachel was squatting down to help Lucas choose the articles carefully. She didn't notice that Mendes had run away.
Lucas didn't notice it either. He had already told Mendes to behave well, and he thought Mendes would obey him.
Rachel and Lucas were feeling rather indecisive. They couldn't decide which one to pick, so they thought they'd better let Mendes choose. However, they didn't find him when they turned around.
Rachel was so shocked that she stood up immediately, looked around the shelves, and shouted, "Mendes? Mendes?"
Lucas stood up too. He frowned and said helplessly, "Where did he go?"
The saleswoman was startled by Rachel's sudden outcry, but she had plenty of experience with naughty kids.
She was about to say something when she heard two screams from the shelf not far away.
Two saleswomen on the second floor exchanged glances with each other and ran towards the beddings shelf. The one who was escorting Rachel also ran there.
Rachel turned her head back to Lucas, who was also confused. There was a hint of doubt in his eyes. He stepped forwa
me forward.
When Rachel said that, Celine held back her anger, and didn't make such a sharp retort as when she was talking to Lucas or the child's mother.
The girl next to Celine looked at Rachel with an ambiguous look in her eyes. Lucas thought they might know each other.
Rachel's eyes fell on the hem of Celine's dress. Indeed, there was a mark, but it was fairly minor.
Rachel curled her lips and sneered, "Has Jack gone bankrupt? Or has he dumped you? Why do you have to pick on others for such a dress?"
Celine blushed; she was embarrassed that Rachel had witnessed the scene that had just happened.
She was not in a good mood. In fact, the dress was not very dirty, but she was in a very rotten mood.
She had only been venting her anger.
Even if that woman really wanted to compensate her, she didn't want it!
Rachel's intrusion was completely unexpected. If Celine had to name the person in the whole world whom she hated the most, it would be Rachel.
Lucas frowned. He deduced that there was some bad history between them, and that it might have something to do with Jack.
Celine was like a hedgehog with sharp spines all over her body to guard against an attack by her enemy. She straightened up her chest to appear confident, raised her slender eyebrows, and taunted, "Don't worry about us. We are fine. Let me ask you, when was the last time you saw him?"
