Chapter 160: Shopping

"Thank you for coming, Eliana," June said, moving closer to Eliana as if she couldn’t bear to have any space between them.

Behind them, Henson followed at a distance.

June had refused to let anyone follow her, but Rauf had only allowed her to leave the mansion after getting her assurance that Henson would accompany her.

"You know I will do anything for you," Eliana responded.

Immediately after receiving June’s message, she had replied that she was interested.

According to her, Chris had also invited her on a date, and she would need a dress as well.

June wiggled her eyebrows. "Hmm, for me or for my brother?"

Eliana shook her head. "I refuse to let you tease me today."

Before June could say another word, she pulled her towards the nearest store.

"Come on! I found the perfect store to get your dress."

"Is it a maternity store?" June asked with a smile.

Now that she was looking more or less like a ball, she doubted whether any dress that wasn’t designed for maternity wear would suit her.

But Eliana rolled her eyes at her. "Hello, no! Why would we shop at a maternity store? The fact that you’re pregnant doesn’t mean you can’t slay."

All June did was raise her eyebrows at Eliana.

She didn’t argue, even though she was certain they wouldn’t find anything that fit her at the store Eliana was taking her to.

Eliana already seemed determined to pull her inside.

And just as June had expected, most of the dresses on the racks were designed for slim women, almost as if they had been made for models.

The more racks they passed, the more June turned towards Eliana as if to tell her, "I told you."

They were almost at the last rack when June suddenly came across a familiar face.

Amie’s eyes widened in shock, but as soon as she registered who she was looking at, she schooled her features.

"Look who we have here." Amie’s lips curled into a smirk. "Are you lost?"

Eliana stepped forward, instinctively pulling June behind her.

"If anyone is lost, it must be you."

Amie’s eyes moved from June to Eliana. "And look who we have here? The assistant. What are you doing here?"

June stepped forward.

She was no longer the woman she used to be. There was no point hiding behind Eliana when she could handle Amie all by herself.

"Whatever we’re here for, it’s none of your business. So, I think it’s best you move on with your activities while we continue ours."

She knew Henson was watching from behind.

She turned, ready to walk away from Amie, but Amie wasn’t ready to let them go.

"Oh! I see what’s happening here." Amie’s gaze settled on June. "You decided to introduce your friend to the sugar baby industry since you can’t steal other people’s husbands in your condition."

Confused, Eliana stepped forward.

"What’s this bitch talking about? If anyone is stealing what doesn’t belong to them, I think you should check yourself out."

Before Amie could come up with a response, Eliana continued.

"You are nothing but a fake. And your life is all fake."

Her words seemed to make Amie freeze, but Eliana didn’t care.

She pulled June forward and led her further into the store.

Once they were out of Amie’s presence, they burst into laughter.

"Eli, that was brutal. I think you should have seen her face when you called her a fake. She must be wondering how you knew."

Eli chuckled, shaking her head. "I bet she can’t figure out what I meant. She might just think I was talking about her marriage with Rauf."

"You’re right," June conceded.

Amie only believed what she wanted to believe, and June was certain she would never suspect that they knew the truth.

"Come on, let’s leave this store. There is absolutely nothing for me to get here."

But just as they were about to turn away, Ellie suddenly stopped. Her eyes had caught sight of something.

"Look at that."

In front of them was a sky-blue dress. It looked as if it had been made for a chubby princess, but it had stylish beading just below the bust that enhanced its beauty. It was something June had never expected to find in a store like this.

Before June could argue, Eliana pulled her towards the dress.

"Come on, try this out. I’m certain it’s going to fit you perfectly."

June moved her hand to her stomach before turning to Eliana.

"Are you sure this will fit me?"

Eliana nodded. "Why don’t you try it on first? There’s no harm in trying."

She signalled to one of the attendants, who came hurrying towards them.

"Ma’am, how can I help you?"

"We want this dress," Eliana said without hesitation.

The attendant pulled the dress from the rack and handed it to them.

"The fitting room is this way, ma’am," she said, leading them away from the rack towards the fitting rooms.

But just as the attendant opened one of the fitting room doors, Amie stepped out, holding a dress in her hand as if she had just finished trying it on.

She must have picked it up after leaving their presence because June hadn’t seen her with a dress earlier.

Amie’s gaze moved to the dress in June’s hand, and she smirked. The shock she had felt a few minutes earlier was now completely gone.

"Oh, I see you got that dress. It will look perfect on you. It’s just the dress that fits a pig," she said before walking away without waiting for Eliana or June to respond.

Amie had decided that she had had enough of the two of them. She would rather have the last laugh than give them another opportunity to insult her.

Deep down, she thought about how they would react if they knew she was nothing but a fake daughter of the Vassaris. But there was no way they could know.

June didn’t even know that Serena was her mother. If she did, June wouldn’t sit back and watch her take over everything that belonged to her. Amie was certain of that.

But with the dress she had just picked out, she was going to take even more from June.
