Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1511

Chapter 1511: Told you it’s not your fault

Meanwhile...

Nina glanced around the grocery store, listening to the casual conversations of the shoppers. Since walking in, she had overheard the Smith family mentioned at least five times.

Almost everyone is talking about it, she thought, sighing and shaking her head. Though I can’t blame them.

The recent case involving the orphanage and the Senator’s granddaughter had been making headlines. That’s why Nina had stopped watching the news for a while—she didn’t want to dwell on it too much. After all, she was only concerned about one thing in this whole fiasco:

Finn.

Finn was on a short business trip, something he had to fulfill before taking another long break. The two of them had plans, and since Nina’s unemployment, he wanted to spend more time with her. They also wanted to focus on their wedding preparations.

However, Finn would be coming home today.

He could’ve heard the news or not, but the point was that Cassandra was still his childhood friend. Despite everything that had happened between them, Nina knew Finn wasn’t heartless enough to ignore everything about it.

A nice meal might cheer him up a little, she thought, smiling as she continued her usual grocery shopping.

The supermarket wasn’t Nina’s usual place. However, it was the closest to Skyline Plaza. It wasn’t a big change, though—the prices were usually the same, maybe just a centavo higher.

Just as Nina was picking out some fresh produce, she heard a familiar voice from the side.

"Nina?"

Turning her head, her eyes widened the second she made eye contact. "Boss!"

"Haha. Boss? Oh, dear. You don’t have to call me that anymore," her former boss chuckled. She glanced at Nina’s cart before lifting her gaze back to her. "I didn’t expect to run into you here. Do you shop here often?"

"No, just lately, since I moved out of my previous home."

"Ah, that explains why I never ran into you here, despite doing my weekly grocery shopping here."

Nina smiled happily, forgetting her previous thoughts. Her eyes gleamed with satisfaction at seeing the person who had trusted her while they were still at the same company.

"Boss, do you have any other plans for today?" she asked. "If not, how about we grab some coffee after we’re done with our groceries?"

Her former boss smiled and nodded.

"So, you ended up resigning, huh?" her former boss repeated, almost laughing as she shook her head. "Well, why am I surprised?"
