Sweet Sorrow novel Chapter 55

Hearing her name called, Nicole didn't turn around, but continued to look at the clothes on the hanger as if she couldn't hear it.

"Nicole, you..."

"Honey!"

Taking a cold look at Austin, Sabina walked towards Nicole and glanced around, pretending to be innocent, "ah, who are your guests today?"

Nicole smilingly turned around, looked at Sabina, and snapped back, "Sabina, is that all you can do to make me angry?"

Noticing that she failed to ridicule Nicole, Sabina gritted her teeth, pointed at the black dress that Nicole had been staring at and said to the saleslady, "I want to try this on."

"Okay." The shop assistant saw Nicole was just looking at the dresses and didn't intend to buy, so she took off the dress without asking Nicole's opinion.

Taking over the dress, Sabina strutted towards the fitting room like a peacock.

Nicole stood there for a few seconds and felt the heat from Austin's sights. She felt very uneasy.

As she was about to walk away, Austin took a step forward and grabbed her wrist.

"Nicole."

Nicole had thought that she wouldn't be emotional in front of Austin, but the words she just heard still made her angry.

Previously, Austin took her family as a burden. Every time when she bought the nourishment for her family on every festival, she needed to consider Austin's emotion. Actually the nourishment only cost a little money.

However, now, Austin had brought Sabina here to buy over ten thousand worth of clothes without hesitation. By comparison, Nicole thought the marriage between them was so ridiculous.

"Let me go." With an indifferent face, Nicole didn't even bother to make a salute.

Austin stepped forward and held her more tightly. "Nicole, I have apologized to you for what my mother did last time. Please don't be angry with me."

"I'm not angry with you. Can you let go of me?" Nicole sneered, "you've been holding me like this all the time. Aren't you afraid that your sweetheart, Sabina, will see?"

"Nicole, don't say that. She is not my..."

Nicole shook off her hand and said coldly, "Mr. Austin, don't forget that we have nothing to do with each other now."

"Nicole..."

Two shop assistants whispered to each other. Nicole glared at Austin with an annoyed face.

Just then, Consuela came out of the fitting room. Nicole hurried up to her.

"I'm so fat that I can't zip it up. I almost went mad in it. Nicole, help me have a look. Can I wear this?"

Nicole circled a lap around Consuela and shook her head. "I think this dress is too bright for you. Why don't you try another one with light color?"

Rolling her eyes, Consuela snapped, "Nicole, are you saying that I'm shallow?"

Nicole was amused. "Of course not. Why don't you try the white one? You can try it on and see if it fits you."

"No, I'm not wearing a white one. Please take the red one for me."

This time, Consuela put on the red dress again.

Sabina also tried the dress on.

It was easy to tell that Sabina put on make-up in the fitting room after she had changed into the dress. Her long curly hair fell over her shoulders.

It was a pity that the dress was pure and lovely, which made it strange on her.

With a single glance, Nicole turned to look at Consuela.

"This one is nice. It matches your skin very well."

Consuela rolled a circle in front of the mirror. With a satisfied smile, she said, "I like this one too. It's really cool. I'll compete with the other in this dress."

As Sabina walked past Nicole and Consuela, she said in a neither loud nor low voice, "birds of a feather flock together."

Nicole's smile froze.

Consuela was confused. She took a look at Sabina, then turned to Nicole and asked in a low voice, "Nicole, what did she say?"

"Can't you hear it clearly? Leave it alone. Are you sure you want this one?"

Since Austin and Sabina were strangers to her, Consuela didn't think much of it. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take this one. Which one do you want?"

Nicole shook her head and pushed Consuela towards the checkout counter. "I really don't need it. You pay the bill and we can leave now."

"No way!" Consuela insisted. It seemed that she was determined to buy a new one for Nicole. She then grabbed Nicole's hand to select one more piece of clothing for her, and said, "I have told you that I will pay for it. If you refuse again, I will be angry."

Nicole sighed with profound resignation. She didn't know how to persuade Consuela to leave, but she heard Sabina's sarcastic laugh.

"Honey, I'm so amused. Why does she always eat idly without work everywhere? It's okay that men pay for her, but now even a woman should pay for her."

Consuela stopped her steps.

Nicole didn't want to stay in such a place any more. She suggested with a smile, "Consuela, I've heard that there is a shop which is good at cooking fish on the snack street. It's very delicious there. Let's go and eat it after paying the bill."

Consuela rolled her eyes at Nicole and turned to look at Sabina. Her face darkened as she stated in a stern voice, "I heard you this time. Hey! Who are you referring to?"

With Austin backing her up, Sabina looked complacent. "Don't worry. I'm talking about the person who has a guilty conscience."

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Sabina was targeting Nicole. Consuela also sensed that. In a huff, she began to run towards her.

Nicole grabbed hold of Consuela's arm and said, "Consuela, go and pay for the dress. Just ignore her."

However, though Nicole didn't want to quarrel here, Sabina was even more arrogant.

"Well, Nicole, your guests are so mean to you that you can't even afford a dress?"

Her words were loud enough to be heard by other customers in the shop.

Even Austin's face changed. "Sabina! Stop it! "

"Are you still trying to protect her?" "Don't forget who gave you this job!"

All of a sudden, Austin's face turned red, but he seemed to be threatened by Sabina's words. Then he turned his head away, without saying anything.

"Hey, watch your mouth. Stop talking nonsense, or I'll slap you!" Consuela thundered as she dashed towards the girl.

Sabina became more and more excited. She pointed at Nicole and said with a false smile, "what your bestie has done is not pure. How can I keep my mouth clean? Don't you know that your sister has been dating some guests recently? "
