Unexpected Encounter: A Second Chance at Love

"Andrew left me his credit card."

As soon as Rachael finished her sentence, Emma, Elsa and Tina jerked their head towards her.

"W-What happened?" The three of them were looking at her with their eyes wide open. They looked shocked or rather traumatized.

Placing her hand on Rachael's shoulder, Elsa inquired, "Is it the one with a big blue globe and a tiny red dot?"

"I don't think so—one second." Rachael grabbed her bag and took out the card. She then gave it to Elsa.

Throwing her hand over her mouth, Elsa gasped, "Oh my f*ucking God. It's 'THE' card."

"Show me….show me—" Emma exclaimed.

"Oh me too."

All the three of them huddled around the card, tossing it from one hand to another.

"I can't believe he left it behind." Elsa looked at Rachael and inquired, "What did he say?"

"He told me to keep it and buy whatever I want." Seeing how hyped Elsa looked, she asked, "What is so exciting about it?"

"This is the most—how do I say it? Let's just say it's one hundred percent limitless," Elsa answered. "Owen also has one but he never lets me touch it."

Giving the card back to Rachael, she said, "Once Andrew lost a bet so he gave me his card to buy whatever I want and you have no idea how crazy I went. I literally bought everything I saw. There were moments when I swiped the card, I was worried it would get declined but that never happened. It was the same card."

"Okay since Rachael is currently the richest one here, she will buy us lunch today," Emma exclaimed.

"Alright," Rachael agreed. "Let's go now."

[Shopping mall]

After raiding the jewellery and clothing store, the four of them decided to take a short break before resuming their wild shopping spree.

"I really liked the collection here and the sale too," Elsa remarked.

Hooking her arm around Elsa's shoulder, Emma exclaimed, "I have to say this, you are the craziest shopper here."

Though Emma, Tina and Rachael were impulse buyers, Elsa was worse. She literally bought everything she touched.

"I know right?" Elsa chuckled. "My credit card bill for the month is gonna be huge."

Taking a sip of the coffee, Tina inquired, "Okay, what are we buying next?"

"I wanna buy something for Andrew, can we go to a men's store?" Since they had got married, Rachael hadn't given him anything. She wanted to buy something for him.

"What do you wanna buy for your hubby?" Emma inquired.

Rachael shrugged. "I don't know—" She really had no idea.

"Oh—I saw this really cool pair of cufflinks in the last store." Elsa looked at her. "Do you wanna check them out?"

"Okay, let's go."

...

[Inside the store]

"This is beautiful," Emma awed in satisfaction.

"I know right?" Tina looked at Rachael. "I think you should get it."

Carefully examining the pair of diamond cufflinks, she smiled and nodded.

It was an 18 karat rose gold diamond cufflinks. It had fifty-two tiny round shaped diamonds embedded in a prong setting.

Without thinking twice, Rachael asked the employee to pack it for her.

At the billing counter, she took out her personal credit card from her purse to pay for it.

...

[Nearby Cafe]

After placing an order for some snacks, Elsa, Tina and Emma left as they wanted to use the restroom while Rachael stayed behind to guard their shopping bags.

Taking out the box from the bag, Rachael smiled and gently caressed the cufflinks she had bought earlier. She couldn't wait to give it to Andrew.

"Excuse me, is this seat taken?"

"Sorry, my friends will be here soon." When Rachael looked at the man standing in front of her, she frowned a little. His face looked very familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.

"Can I sit here until your friends show up?" When she did not say anything, he added, "All the seats are taken and I am a little tired."

"Okay—" she agreed.

The man smiled and sat right opposite to her.

Pointing at the box she was holding, he inquired, "Did you buy it for your boyfriend?"

"It's for my husband," she answered.

"Can I?"

Rachael nodded and gave it to him.

Carefully examining the pair of cufflinks, he remarked, "These are really very beautiful. You have a good taste."

"Thanks," she gave him a weak smile. The more she looked at him, the more familiar he looked.

"I am sorry but have we met before?" She couldn't help but ask. The familiarity was too hard to ignore.

"Maybe—" Samuel smiled.

Finding his answer strange, Rachael frowned and was about to question him again when Elsa, Emma and Tina arrived.

"What the f*uck are you doing here?" Elsa snapped as soon as she saw him.

"There you are."  Samuel looked at Elsa and smiled. "I was wondering where you were."

"That is not the answer I am looking for." She glared at him.

Placing his hand on his chest, he gasped, "Don't look at me like that Ms.Volkov, you are scaring me. I have a very weak heart."

Elsa rolled her eyes at him and scoffed, "Get the f*uck out of here before I kick your a*ss Petrov."

While the two of them kept bickering, Emma, Tina and Rachael were very confused. They didn't understand what was going on.

"Alright, don't get all hyped up." Samuel got up. "Too much anger results in wrinkles, don't you know that?"

He then looked at Rachael. "It was nice meeting you again Ms.Watson. I have a feeling we will see each other quite often in the future."

While he was walking away, Elsa stated, "Mrs.Collins." When he stopped, she looked at him. "She is Mrs.Collins now, don't forget that."

Samuel did not say anything, he just smiled at her and left.

Elsa rolled her eyes and scoffed. "What a je*rk." Her wonderful mood had been successfully ruined.
