“Allie, I baked some pastries yesterday Wanna take a few to your co-workers?” Grace presented a box
of pastries, smiling at Allison. That was when she saw Allison standing at the door, holding a poster
Grace quickly approached her, saying somewhat sheepishly, “I saw this phone. It’s p
s pretty good Figured I’d get it for you.”
Allison seemed taken aback, ‘Me? Mom, this phone is so expensive. Why did you buy it?”
“Allie, look at your current phone. It’s old and keeps glitching. The salesperson said this model
performs well. So what if it’s a bit pricey? My daughter deserves the best Grace said.
Allison stared at Grace, “I think my current phone is just fine, as long as it can make calls. Such an
expensive phone, we should be saving money. We’ll need a lot when we move to the new city”
And the phone was endorsed by Penelope! Allison glanced at the poster in her hand, crumpled it, and
tossed it into the trash.
Grace gasped, “Hey, what are you doing? Why would you throw away the poster?”
“Mom, if I don’t throw this away, are we supposed to hang it up at home? Wouldn’t we have nightmares
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtevery night?” Allison grabbed her bag, “Alright, Mom, if you like this phone, you should use it. I gotta
get going”
Once Allison had left, Grace shook her head, retrieved the poster from the trash. She sighed lightly,
smoothing out the poster. But Penelope’s face, her sweet smile, was now marred with creases.

member stopped her
The receptionist handed her a bouquet of flowers, excitedly asking, 1 took a quick peek, 99 red roses.
Allison, do you have a boyfriend?”
Allison chuckled, “No, who sent these?”
She looked at the bouquet in her hand, there was a card. She picked it up to have a look, it was from
Jason, Didn’t expect Jason’s flowers to be delivered here. The flowers at the entrance of Blue Mountain
Estate last time must have been from him too.
Allison walked towards the elevator, flowers in hand.
The two reception staff watched Allison walk away before whispering to each other.
The flowers from this florist, they’re not cheap, all imported red roses from New Zealand. Seems like
Allison’s boyfnend must be loaded.”
“Allison is pretty. She must have a lot of men chasing after her. I heard she’s filming a movie recently,
introduced by Ms. Sarah. Maybe she’ll become a star someday.”
“Really?”
“Shh, keep it down, of course it’s true.”
“Ms. Sarah is so good to her, Working at Red Jack Club under Ms. Sarah is really comfortable Heard
she got the 6th floor VIP room this week, she must be making a killing. Ms. Serena, she’s not doing so
well. She only got the first and second floors for two weeks in a row”
*Shh, here comes Ms. Serena”
Serena, wearing sunglasses and a red suit, looked both glamorous and classic. She strutted by in her

asset was her keen hearing. Even at a considerable distance, she could hear the two receptionists
gossip
She didn’t scold them for gossiping. This time she did indeed lose to Sarah, Working at Red Jack Club
for 6 years, she had always been overshadowed by Sarah. Serena glanced at the reception desk then
walked away in her high heels.
The two receptionists breathed a sigh of relief.
After waiting for the elevator for two minutes, the elevator doors finally opened. Someone walked out of
the elevator with a tray in her hand, “Allison, you’re here early today. Don’t you have the afternoon off?”
I’m covering Ashley’s shift Allison said.
Allison moved to the side to let the people in the elevator out, then walked in.
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, suddenly, the sound of footsteps echoed, Hearing
someone outside, Allison pressed the open button.
Serena walked over, her gaze through her sunglasses fell on the bouquet of roses in Allison’s arms.
Her voice was already sharp, and it sounded even more piercing when she laughed, “Oh my, Allison,
are these flowers from your boyfriend?”
