Athena's eyes lit up with an idea. She grabbed her phone and started typing away.
A few seconds later, she grinned. "I just messaged some friends from my lab—they said they can get us in. We'll have staff passes and everything."
Jaden laughed. "Your lab sounds like it can work miracles."
Athena smiled back. "It kind of does, doesn't it?"
Athena spun the car around and drove back into the underground parking garage of the mall they had just left.
"It's lunchtime, so let's pick up a suit from the mall and grab a bite to eat. After that, we'll head over to the convention center to check out the robotics exhibition. I've got plenty of cash, and I was thinking of buying you a designer suit. Would you turn that down?" Athena asked.d
Jaden smiled. "How could I possibly refuse something so generous?"
Athena's face lit up with a joyful grin. "Fantastic! Let's go."
After they got out of the car, Athena naturally looped her arm through Jaden's. They chatted and laughed as they headed to the elevator, making their way to the third floor of the upscale men's clothing store.
Meanwhile, on the fourth floor of the mall, Linda sat in a private booth at a Japanese restaurant with friends, trying to enjoy her meal while engaging in conversation.
But her thoughts were elsewhere, preoccupied with Jaden and that stunning girl with the car. Her eyes kept darting around, unable to focus.
Suddenly, her gaze was drawn to the men's clothing store across the way.
There was Jaden, shopping with Athena.
He stood like a model in front of a mirror, watching the girl with affection as she picked out various suits for him to try on.
Each time he changed into a new suit, Athena clapped and took photos, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
It was no surprise. Jaden looked impressive, tall, and handsome, with a blend of mature charm and youthful energy. He was the kind of man who seemed to have it all, and who wouldn't be drawn to that?
Not just Athena, but even the sales staff were gathered around him, nodding approvingly. Passersby outside slowed down to get a better look or pulled out their phones to snap pictures.
Linda's eyes burned with jealousy as she tightly gripped her small wine glass.
She always believed that Jaden was supposed to be hers.
Suddenly, someone nudged her, startling her. She turned, annoyed. "Who pushed me?"
A few well-dressed women looked at her with concern. "Mrs. Smith, what are you staring at? Your coffee's spilling over. We've been trying to get your attention, but you didn't hear us."
She looked down to see coffee spilling from her cup onto her skirt.
She gasped, quickly grabbed a napkin to clean up the mess, and then rushed to the restroom to dry off the stain with a hand dryer.
When she returned to her seat, Jaden and Athena were nowhere to be seen in the men's clothing store.
Panicked, Linda scanned the area, desperately searching for any sign of Jaden.
Eventually, she spotted him.
He and Athena were dining in a restaurant just a few stores away from the clothing store.
While everything in the building was expensive, this restaurant was especially pricey, known for its renowned French chef. It was a place she couldn't afford to visit regularly.
"Jaden has changed," she muttered to herself, her eyes reflecting a mix of anxiety, disappointment, and sadness. "He's mingling with a rich socialite and accepting her lavish gifts. He wasn't like this before.
"No wonder he doesn't care about the 100 thousand dollars I owe him. Maybe his change isn't such a bad thing for me, considering all I have left is money."
As she spoke to herself, she saw Jaden and Athena finishing their lunch. They called for the check, and after paying, Athena linked her arm with Jaden's as they laughed and headed downstairs. Their figures quickly vanished from sight.
Linda's frustration grew, but she couldn't just leave. She forced a smile and continued to mingle until the gathering ended. Then she hurried out of the restaurant and began searching for them, floor by floor.
She went from the fourth floor to the first, then from the first to the sixth.
Tired, she took a short break, then resumed her search until she finally spotted Athena's new SUV in the basement parking lot.
Normally, she wouldn't have paid much attention to an ordinary vehicle, but this SUV was noticeably larger and newer, with a shiny finish that caught the eye.
"Well, can't find them?" Linda sneered. "I'll just wait for them."
A few seconds later, she grinned. "I just messaged some friends from my lab—they said they can get us in. We'll have staff passes and everything."
Jaden laughed. "Your lab sounds like it can work miracles."
