Goodbye, My Love

“Please don’t!” Loraine sighed helplessly.

“Uncle Rowan, Uncle Wesley,

I don’t want you to set up a blind date for me. Dating is the last thing on my mind now. I just want to focus on my career.”

In support of his granddaughter, Aldo cleared his throat and chipped in, “Forget it. Let Lorrie be. She should focus on her career since that’s what she wants.”

Loraine hugged Aldo and chuckled.

“Thank you, Grandpa! You know me best!”

“But since you just got employed at the company, you need someone to look after you. Cayson is a good man. I should speak to him at once!”

Shaking her head, Loraine immediately declined.

“Stop, Grandpa. I’m not a kid. I don’t need anyone to look after me. Besides, Cayson is a busy man. Don’t worry. I’LL learn the ropes of the job myself.”

“No way! I can’t allow you to navigate the career world on your own.”

Aldo didn’t give in to his granddaughter’s objection. He dialed

Cayson’s number.

“Hello, Cayson. Are you free now? Anyway, I just wanted to ask you for a favor concerning Lorrie. She’s going to resume work soon. If you have time on your hands, please take her to buy the things she would need for work. Her uncles and I will be less worried if she’s with you.”

After a pause, Aldo said, “Okay, that’s great. I’ll tell her right away.”

He hung up the phone with a big smile. He turned to Loraine and said,

“Lorrie, hurry up and get dressed. Cayson agreed.”

Loraine didn’t want to go. However, she couldn’t refuse her grandfather.

Cayson soon picked her up and drove her to the shopping mall.

Their first stop was a high-end women’s clothing shop. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Marina was coincidentally shopping there at this time.

Cayson had gone to pick up some clothes when Loraine bumped into her former sister-in-law.

“Loraine! Why are you here?” Marina shouted in surprise.

With a frown, Loraine retorted, “What sort of question is that? Why can’t I be here?”
