Outside the departmental store.
When Beth came outside, Songpa was leaning against his car patiently waiting for her arrival.
When Songpa saw her face, he immediately understood something was wrong.
" Beth What happened?" Songpa asked before walking towards her.
Beth shook her head and said," Nothing."
Songpa sighed and said," You suck at lying."
Wrapping her hands around his waist, Beth said," Hmm I just saw Julia inside."
Songpa frowned and asked," Did she do anything?"
Beth shook her head and said," No she didn't. Actually she is working here."
" You are never coming to this departmental store again." Songpa said.
Beth chuckled and said," It's fine and I had guards with me too."
Wrapping his arms around her, Songpa asked," Then why are you sad?"
" I don't know I just feel bad for her. She has lost so much weight and she also had thick eyebags." Beth said.
Patting her back, Songpa said," She is working hard and earning, isn't that what you wanted?"
Beth slowly nodded her head and said," Yes."
" Don't stress over this and let's go home." Songpa said.
A guard opened the car door for them.
After Beth and Songpa entered the car, it drove off at full speed leaving behind a jealous woman who was cursing Beth for having such a good fate.
Julia could see that Beth was living a great life. Not just great, she was living a luxurious life unlike her. Ah how great it would be if she could replace her?
….
Glory Regency.
After arriving home, Songpa received a call from Singtan saying," Everyone is going for shopping and your lady boss wants Beth to accompany them. So drop Beth at the Xie Mansion."
Songpa nodded his head and said," Yes Boss."
Beth who was arranging the vegetables inside the refrigerator asked," What happened?"
" Lady Boss wants you to accompany them for shopping, you wanna go?" Songpa asked.
Beth nodded her head and said," Of course."
Songpa smiled and said," Then go and get ready, I'll drop you."
Beth smiled and quickly rushed towards the bedroom.
….
Xie Mansion.
" Don't talk about it. It's making me nauseous." Yixi said.
Ming chuckled and said," Hey, even I was not that sensitive."
Yixi sighed and said," I don't know what is wrong."
" Now I am 60%sure that you are carrying twins." Anna said.
" How?" Ming asked.
" The morning sickness doubles up when you are carrying twins." Anna said.
" I am gonna kill this Yutang." Yixi cursed.
Ming chuckled and said," Why?"
" It's all his fault." Yixi said.
Anna sighed and said," Carrying twins is no piece of cake and they are also born a bit early."
Just then Ling and Dina arrived.
" Ah you girls are late." Yixi said.
" Sorry sister-in-law we were stuck in traffic." Ling said.
" We should leave fast." Anna said.
Ming shook her head and said," Beth is on the way."
" Ah oh right I completely forgot about Beth." Anna said.
" Who is Beth?" Ling asked.
Ming smiled and said," Beth is Songpa's girlfriend and she is of your and Dina's age. So you must be friends with her too."
" Isn't Songpa that cute guy who works with Brother Singtan?" Ling asked.
" Who are you calling cute?" Yufan asked.
Sticking her tongue out, Ling chuckled and said," No one."
" You think Songpa is cute?" Yufan asked.
Ling nodded her head and said," May be."
" Of course he is." Ming said.
" Exactly I agree with Ming on this." Anna said.
" That little boy is adorable." Yixi said.
" Who?" Yutang, Singtan and Mike asked in unison.
" We are talking about Songpa." Ming said.
Just then Songpa and Beth arrived.
" Ah there they are." Ming said.
" We were waiting for you Beth." Anna said.
Beth smiled and said," I am sorry for being late."
" Ah it's fine. Come here let me introduce you to my Ling and Dina." Ming said.
" Beth this is Ling my brothers fiancé and this is her friend Dina." Ming said.
Beth smiled and said," It's a pleasure to meet you both."
Ling smiled and said," You are beautiful."
Beth chuckled and said," Thank you so much."
Poking Songpa's arm, Yufan asked," Is She your girlfriend?"
Songpa nodded his head and asked," Why?"
" How? I mean how did you get one?" Yufan asked.
Songpa frowned and asked," What do you mean?"
Yufan helplessly sighed and shook his head.
" Okay I think now we should leave." Anna said.
" You all seriously don't want us to accompany you all?" Singtan asked.
Ming shook her head and said," No mr Li you stay back and enjoy with your friends." before leaving the mansion along with others.
….
Inside the car.
Ming, Anna and Yixi boarded one car while Ling, Beth and Dina boarded the other.
" So Beth What do you do?" Dina asked.
" Well I was working before but when Songpa and I moved in together, he insisted me on not working. So right now I just clean and cook for us." Beth said.
Dina chuckled and said," You are just like me. Even I do that same though I want to do something productive."
Ling sighed and said," Same I also want to do something."
" Well I was planning to open a bakery or a cafe you know as I love baking but I don't know I was just thinking." Beth said.
Ling smiled and said," Even I wanted to open one."
" Then What are we waiting for? Let's open it together like business partners." Dina said.
" Hmm that's not a bad idea." Beth said.
" And I know someone who can help us. She makes these delicious cakes and cookies. Her name is Josephine." Ling said.
" I'll talk Sebastian about this tonight itself not that he will stop me but I have at least inform him." Dina said.
" Even I'll talk to Songpa about this." Beth said.
" Let's seal the deal by tomorrow. Okay?" Ling asked.
Dina and Beth nodded their heads in agreement.
" Hmm and after everything is confirmed, I'll talk to sister Josephine." Ling said.
