Chapter 23
"What do you mean? How could I really let you make the itinerary all by yourself, Gwen."
"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I will discuss it with you in advance next time."
This time, Peter finally managed to smooth down the little wild cat's fur.
Gwen's mood was suddenly messed up by Peter, and she didn't know whether to be angry or happy.
This bastard must have been laughing at himself from the beginning!
But at the same time, she became nervous.
So, what does Peter mean?
Her completely unpredictable attitude made her worry about gains and losses again.
It seems to work, but it seems not to work.
"Where are we going now?" It was Gwen's turn to ask.
"Waiting for someone."
"Huh? Is there anyone else tonight?" Gwen frowned.
"She's coming soon."
she! ? Gwen instantly became alert. When did Peter know other women?
If I remember correctly, there were only two girls that Peter had contact with more often.
One is her, the other is Spider-Woman, and it’s also her!
Now, who else?
After a while, Gwen saw a black car parked on the side of the road, and a woman in a professional black suit stepped out of it and greeted the two of them:
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Parker?"
"Yes." Peter nodded.
Ephisia stretched out her hand to Peter,
"Hello, my name is Aphisia, I am Mr. Osborne's secretary, and I will be in charge of your schedule tonight."
Gwen was in a daze for a moment before she realized that the Mr. Osborne mentioned by Aphisia was Harry.
She realized that she seemed to have misunderstood something, and lowered her head in embarrassment.
She felt like she was really hopeless, how could she become so stupid.
Of course, she also had a lot of questions, but in front of outsiders, Gwen just acted generous and decent and didn't say much.
At the invitation of Aifesia, the two got in the car and came to a high-end dress shop.
"Due to time constraints, we didn't have time to order it, so we can only give it a try, Mr. Parker." Aphisia apologized.
"It doesn't matter, just follow your arrangement." Peter said.
Aifesia went to deal with the store clerk, and until then, the two of them had space alone.
The lady-like Gwen, who was generous and decent a second ago, took Peter and walked quickly to the corner. A long list of questions came out of her mouth like a cannonball.
"Peter, what's going on?"
"Why is there still Harry? When did you become so close to him!? I didn't know yet..."
She almost cornered Peter;
"I feel like you've hidden a lot of things from me...and Ms. Ephisia, she's so pretty. Do you like someone older than you?"
"Wait, wait, let's do it one by one, okay Gwen... Wait, what does it have to do with Aphisia? Why would I like someone older than me?"
"Oh... I'm sorry, I spilled the beans... No, I was just, just a little excited. You know, everything just happened was really..."
"I understand, I understand. How should I put it... You also know about Harry. Because of his father, he has been having a hard time recently, and then I took advantage of him."
"Take advantage of the situation!!?"
"Hey! Just kidding, remember the last time we met him in the aisle? He was always grateful because we helped him."
"Oh, Peter, the words you used just now are so evil."
"Oh, then Harry found me a few days ago. For some personal reasons, he hoped that I could introduce Spider-Woman. I asked him to help me with a little help."
"Wait, why is there still something about Spider-Woman? Why was it originally just a date between you and me, but why did so many people suddenly come in!"
"It doesn't matter Gwen."
This is important! Gwen puffed up her cheeks and stared at Peter, who smiled and said, "What I'm more interested in right now is our date."
"Ask...a date!" Gwen's momentum, which she had finally gathered up, was suddenly shattered.
"Well, that's not what I meant. You just heard it wrong."
"Gwen," Peter pinched her face and said, "We watched a romantic movie and had a lover's afternoon tea. This was all specially arranged by you. I thought you were hinting at something."
"I didn't...wait, damn! Peter, you really know everything!"
"Of course, I'm not a fool, you are so straight."
"Ahhhhh!"
Gwen's brain suddenly had a short circuit. If it were a comic book, steam would be coming out of her head at this moment.
She covered her blushing face with her ten fingers, her cool, watery eyes emerged from between her fingers, and she cursed:
"You bastard!"
"Um... you two," Ephisia, who came back from the store clerk, looked at the two of them awkwardly.
"Well, we can try on the dress."
Peter helped Gwen take off her hand covering her face. She was so angry now that she didn't dare to look over.
Peter patted her head, "Okay, let's try on the dress first, I'm looking forward to it."
Gwen felt that her brain had completely stopped. Like a doll, she borrowed the dress she had prepared and followed the clerk to the fitting room.
"Your girlfriend is so cute." Aifesia praised.
Peter just glanced at her with a calm expression, "Thank you."
In the fitting room,
After Gwen stared blankly at herself in the mirror for a while, she finally came to her senses.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down... She couldn't calm down at all.
So, what did Peter mean just now! ?
This bastard knew everything and didn't stop me. Instead, he kept teasing me. It's so abominable!
I thought you were a good person...wait, now is not the time to care about that.
So, Peter...has no objection?
Gwen felt her heart pounding.
After worrying about gains and losses for a long time, the answer suddenly fell in front of her. The big rise after the big fall made her feel a little dizzy, as if she had been knocked unconscious by happiness.
No...he didn't agree to it himself. Gwen let out a breath and tried to calm down.
She looked at the exquisite dress in her hand, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth,
"Wait, I'm going to shock you speechless!"
"It's really surprising, Mr. Parker." Aphisia looked at Peter who came out after changing his suit.
"I can't tell that your physical condition is so good." She said with emotion.
I originally thought that the girls were already outstanding enough, but I didn't expect that after the boys put on a well-fitting suit, they would be even more impressive.
It is conceivable that if you wear two less clothes, it must be walking hormones.
"Nothing, is Harry okay?" Peter said.
Ephisia frowned. She only knew that Peter and Harry were classmates. The specific relationship was not clear, so she could only think about it and said:
"Mr. Osborne is encountering a little difficulty now, but I believe he will solve it soon."
"It seems a little bad."
"Um, Mr. Parker..."
"Don't worry, I'm just asking casually. I hope he won't be too messy."
Ephisia couldn't figure out the meaning of Peter's words, so she could only say: "I will bring your words to Mr. Osborne."
While the two were talking, Gwen finally changed into her dress and walked out of the fitting room.
