Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance
Chapter 792

"Is it because of the price?" Mia asked, checking herself out in the mirror while adjusting her outfit.

Molly gave it a thought and shook her head. "Chade Inc. has always been high-end. Our customers are loaded, so this price isn't exactly steep."

Naomi, now dressed, chimed in, "Molly, you can't just slap a price on something because of the brand. If it's too expensive and the quality is just mediocre, a fancy price tag won't cut it."

Mia nodded, "These days, making money is tough. People think twice before splurging. Would you rather drop a grand on a coat or a T-shirt?"

Molly examined the outfit. "The price isn't changing. Trust me, once you try it on, you'll see that the production cost is pretty high."

"Mia and I were just chatting, not necessarily because of the price," Mia said, rummaging through Molly's wardrobe. "Mind if I try on your clothes?"

"Go ahead. What's mine is yours," Molly replied.

Mia picked out a few pieces, trying to mix and match. "This one is hard to pair with other stuff. Even if you replace something, it won't be jaw-dropping. On its own, it's nice. But fashion shows? Those models wear stuff that's way too over-the-top for everyday wear." Naomi added, "Pros: it's breathable and cool. They must've put a lot of thought into the fabric; it's super comfy. But the downside? It's picky about body shape. Standing next to Mia, the difference is clear."

Molly folded her arms, tapping her lips as she watched them.

Soon, little Henry, crying and calling for his mom, knocked on the door, guided by Andre. "Call for Mommy, and she'll come out."

"Mo-mo-mommy," Henry wailed, mixing his cries with calls for Mia.

Mia quickly stripped off her clothes, opened the door, and scooped up her sweaty, crying son. "My baby was so anxious he started calling for 'mommy.' Don't cry, mommy's here."

Holding Henry, she walked over to Molly. "Molly, asking just Naomi and me for opinions might be a bit one-sided. We don't represent everyone. Our suggestions are based on our tastes-I'm all about overall coordination, Naomi cares about comfort. You can't just go by what we say." She soothed her son and continued, "Why not survey your loyal customers? A random sample might help you spot any issues."

Naomi nodded in agreement.

Henry nestled quietly in his mom's arms, content as long as he wasn't left alone.

"Thanks, Mia!"

Mia replied with a smirk, "Yeah, right."

Holding her son, she added, "I'm taking this black dress. I'll return it tomorrow. Can't change with the baby in my arms."

Naomi, now dressed, smiled at her sister-in-law before leaving. "Little Molly, who used to be so wild, is all grown up and career-focused."

Molly laughed, "It just happened. But honestly, Naomi, I'd still rather be a couch potato."

Naomi chuckled, "Always the jokester. Get some sleep, I'm heading to bed."

"Goodnight, Naomi," Molly replied.

After closing the door, Mia returned to her bedroom. Her husband asked, "Did you need something from Molly?"

"Yeah, she needed some help with work."

Mia then stripped Henry and tossed his clothes into the laundry basket.

The tub was too big and slippery for Henry, and the basin was now too small. So Mia used a bucket, where he sat, splashing water everywhere.

Chad returned to the Byrne family home, noticed Mia wasn't there, and called Molly. "Go to bed, Chad. Don't come over. I'll be back tomorrow night. We won't turn into Shakespearean tragic lovers just because we're apart for a day." Chad asked, "What time should I wake you?"

"Six fifty. The Cedillo family home is far from the office." Chad agreed.

That night, Officer Chad was left alone in their bedroom.

The next morning, at 7:20, Mia's phone rang. "Hello, Chad?" "Mia, put Henry in Molly's bed."

Having been sisters for over a decade, Mia got it immediately!

She picked up her well-fed, content son from the bed and headed to Molly's bedroom, tucked him under the covers, and left.

Three minutes later, Jade woke up to a series of screams, lifting her nephew. "Thanks a lot, Henry's entire family!"

Mia retrieved her son, who was still clutching a few strands of his aunt's hair. "Thank your husband."

After a quick breakfast, Molly rushed to work, and Naomi left too, with Bruce and Andre departing together.

Mia quietly ate breakfast, and Hansen noticed she wasn't her usual energetic self. "At my age, I'm still strong enough to spend a few more years with my grandson. I boasted to Harry yesterday that my grandson could stand. Today, I should take Henry to the Rayner family. Eat well, and if you're tired, sleep, or go out if you're bored. Leave Henry with me; I can handle him."

"No, Dad, my arms are sore from holding him. He gets tired of the stroller and wants to be carried."

Hansen cleverly suggested, "Mia, you're being silly. The Rayner family loves my grandson. Once we're at the Moll family, they'll fight over holding him. Morning with the Rayner family, afternoon at Bob's place, evening at old Guo's house. I'll just pretend and let them hold the baby."

Mia laughed, "You're quite the schemer with your friends."

Hansen joked, "I've been influenced by you three."

Feeling indirectly complimented, Mia had nothing to say.

Molly returned to the office and headed straight to the CEO's office.

Chad was on his way to the meeting room when someone called out, "Chad?"

He stopped, turned around, and saw a woman in uniform standing not far behind him. "Annie."

The woman stepped forward, looking at the ruggedly handsome man. "It really is you. Seeing you from behind yesterday, I thought I was mistaken."

Chad glanced at the newcomers. "What brings you here?"

"The department selected a few of us for a meeting, so here I am," Annie replied, looking up at Chad's face with a bittersweet smile. "I heard from a classmate that you've been promoted to squad leader. Congrats." "Thanks."

Soon, Donnie came over. "Boss, we should get going. The meeting is about to start."

He then noticed the woman standing beside them. "Wow, she's gorgeous-a real knockout."

Chad spoke up, "Let's all head in."

The three of them entered together.
