However, Hugo was in the mall this time unlike before. So, I couldn’t shake the worry that things would change this time around.
Just then, a young woman in workout gear emerged from that direction, catching my attention.
"How ridiculous! Nowadays, people can’t even leave their drama at the gym!"
"And some of these trainers are so unprofessional. Look, they’re playing games in here while the customers are still around..."
I instantly had a sense of what was going on.
My mother continued her detailed inspection of the gym equipment, her lips pursed as she scrutinized each piece.
"This doesn’t look cheap either..."
I led her forward, step by deliberate step.
Meanwhile, I twisted my neck and tuned my ears to catch any sounds from the VIP changing room.
Then, rhythmic noises began to drift out from inside.
Unable to contain my excitement, I pulled at my mother and said, "I’ve heard the gym’s changing rooms are crucial for cleanliness. Let’s go check it out!"
With every step we took, the strange sounds grew more distinct.
The air was filled with the soft moans of a woman, interspersed with the heavy breathing of a man.
I pushed open the door to the changing room, my mother right behind me.
What we saw inside was beyond shocking.
The few individuals were in complete disarray, lost in their own world and hadn’t even bothered to close the door.
Initially, they didn’t even notice the door swinging open.
Then, my mother let out a thunderous roar of fury.
"Juniper! You shameless little siren! What are you doing here? I swear to God I will beat some senses into that head of yours!"
My mother charged forward like a madwoman.
The gym trainer and Hugo, caught completely off guard, scrambled to grab their clothes and cover up, desperately trying to shield themselves.
Juniper’s cheeks were still flushed, but when she opened her eyes and saw my mother standing there, her face drained of color, turning ashen with fear.
"Mom, what... what are you doing here?"
Juniper was barely dressed, her sports bra askew and her clothes in utter disarray.
I was momentarily stunned by the sheer absurdity of the scene, but I quickly regained my composure. With a snap of my fingers, I pulled out my phone and captured the chaotic moment with a few more photos.
Just in case I needed to prove my case later, I quickly snapped a few more photos.
My mother, absolutely livid, lashed out at Juniper with a fierce slap.
