Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon novel Chapter 503

Shirley pulled out her phone, ready to call Effie, but just then, her coworker brushed past her and headed straight in Effie’s direction.

A jolt of panic ran through Shirley. She hurried after her colleague, only to see her stop in front of a gift shop, eyes wide with excitement. “Oh wow, I can’t believe I almost forgot today’s the launch day for the new collection! Good thing I remembered to line up.”

Relief flooded Shirley, but her attention was quickly caught by the display of mystery boxes from the new series.

Her excitement bubbled over. “Oh wow, the new collection!”

At that moment, Effie answered her phone. Hearing Shirley’s enthusiasm, she assumed Shirley had called just to tell her about the new release.

“Yeah, I already know,” Effie replied.

But before Effie could say more, Shirley’s voice came through the phone again: “Hold on a sec—your thing with your husband nearly got spotted. We’re both right by the gift shop.”

Shirley hadn’t named names, but Effie understood instantly.

A flash of alarm crossed her face as she glanced back. Sure enough, she caught sight of Shirley and another coworker nearby.

Effie quickly pulled her hand from Lyman’s grasp.

Lyman blinked, a puzzled frown creasing his brow. “What’s wrong?”

Effie whispered urgently, “Let’s go. We almost got caught by my colleagues.”

Lyman couldn’t help but laugh, shaking his head. “You know, we could just go public.”
