700 dollars for lipstick was still too extravagant for me.

For me, who wanted to settle down in Chicago at that time, 700 dollars equaled my monthly food expenses.

Later, no matter how long I had been saving money, I never had the idea of buying the same lipstick again.

If it weren't for tonight, I would have almost forgotten about that lipstick.

She had no lack of men like this in her life. In my heart, they were like this lipstick, with a gorgeous appearance and a high value. They were not from the same world as me.

"So why did she go after Gavin?"

I thought about it repeatedly, but I couldn't figure it out.

The next day, I got up and prepared to go to work. Upon opening the bedroom door, I saw Eileen standing at the doorway, which startled me.

"What are you doing..."

Normally, she should be sleeping at this time.

"Scarlett, you work at the Finance and Trade Building, right?" She blinked her eyes and looked at me expectantly.

I nodded, wondering what she wanted.

"Today, I want to go shopping on the street. I know Gavin usually drives you to and from work. Can you give me a ride?"

"Um..." I was a bit conflicted. After all, I couldn't be sure if she had feelings for Gavin. Maybe I was just overthinking it.

"But... what if?"

"Although Gavin is not attractive, he is good to me, and I like him."

I was in a relationship with him to get married.

"The car is messy, so it is not convenient." I politely declined her and hurriedly left, for fear of being bothered by her again.

I ran downstairs out of breath and got into Gavin's car.

"Why are you running? You're so tired." Gavin handed me two pieces of tissue from the front seat.

"Hey? Isn't that your roommate?"

I turned around and looked shocked. She followed me downstairs.

"Hurry up and let's go." I urged him in a low voice. Unfortunately, he didn't hear me.

Eileen leaned over and tapped on the car window, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

Gavin rolled down the car window and said, "Is there something you need, Miss Solomon?"

"Can you give me a ride on your way? I'm going shopping. If it's inconvenient, then forget it." Eileen looked straight at Gavin. I could guarantee that no one would refuse such a sincere request from a beautiful girl like her, and it was not an unreasonable demand.

"Sure, sure."

Gavin was no exception.

Eileen thanked sweetly and got into the back seat, saying, "The car is very clean. It's not as messy as you said."
