To the Love of My Life

Chapter 313: 313: Blessing in Disguise (3)

But who would be so ruthless towards her?

Maya Mitchell had always been gentle and compliant, never offending anyone openly or competing for anything. Even in a company filled with women, where friction was inevitable, and people would secretly gossip, she never said anything bad about anyone.

So, she had no enemies.

Except… Olivia Foster.

Back at the Red Park Resort & Villas, she was the one who had added to Olivia’s misery. Knowing Olivia’s impulsive nature, she would not let this go easily.

Because Olivia was impulsive, she would be ruthless when acting, just like the two men following her. Maya, being all alone today, feared the worst if she fell into their hands.

Even if she managed to escape today, there would still be tomorrow, and the day after… She was bound to slip up at some point!

While pretending to focus on selecting clothes, Maya was actually thinking about how to turn this dangerous situation around.

When she saw a maroon coat, Maya suddenly had an idea, and a smile appeared on her lips.

She asked the salesgirl to bring her the maroon coat, put it on, and checked herself in the fitting-room mirror. Feeling that something was missing, she had the salesgirl grab her a pair of large sunglasses. She put them on and finally nodded with satisfaction, ignoring the salesgirl’s compliments, and simply said, “Help me pack this coat and these sunglasses.”

The salesgirl nodded, about to help Maya take off the clothes, but Maya suddenly waved her hand and glanced at the blond man following her through the mirror. She said, “I’ll wear these clothes out. Just help me cut off the tag.”

After a moment, Maya added, “Pack the outfit I just tried on as well. Also, pack another set of this coat and sunglasses I’m wearing now.”

“Miss, you want two of the coats and sunglasses you’re wearing now?” the salesgirl asked uncertainly.

Maya nodded.

During the brief moment the salesgirl was processing the payment, Maya called Ruby Gregory.

While waiting for Ruby to arrive, Maya stayed in crowded areas, wearing her newly bought sunglasses that covered most of her face. She occasionally glanced around with her peripheral vision and noticed that the two men were always following her at a certain distance.

There were several cafes on the seventh floor of the department store. Maya purposely chose a chain coffee shop.

She found a corner seat, had barely sat down when Ruby called her.

Maya gave the address of the cafe she was at. After about ten minutes, Ruby finally arrived.

Through the cafe’s glass, Maya saw Ruby among the bustling crowd in the shopping mall. Her hair was casually tied in a bun at the back of her head, and she wore a dark gray dress. With such a simple outfit, she still exuded stunning beauty.

Was it this beauty that captivated Steve Burton?

Maya’s gaze turned a bit cold.
