After breakfast Allison, having nothing to do, decided to do a major clean up. She found her cleaning
tools, and noticed Grace changing her clothes. seeming ready to head out
“Mom, you going out?” Allison asked
Grace answered with a smile. Yeah, I made plans with friends to go shopping”
Allison put on a mask. Perfect! You could do with some new clothes, mom. The ones in your closet are
a bit out of date”
Grace changed her shoes, opened the door, and before she left, said, “No need to waste money on
that. I have enough clothes as it is”
Grace had always been frugal, so Allison didn’t push it. She put on gloves and started her big clean-up.
Ever since they moved into the new house, they had only done a thorough clean when they first moved
in. After a month, Allison finally found some spare
time.
She cleaned the living room, kitchen, and bathroom until they were spotless, then entered Grace’s
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtroom armed with disinfectant and a mop.
After cleaning the floor, she suddenly stopped, seemingly hesitating about something After about ten
seconds, she put down her tools, pulled back the covers, and felt under the pillow
As expected.
Nothing
The notebook wasn’t there
Allison opened the wardrobe, nothing. She opened the bedside table and found a locked box. She
couldn’t open it, it was heavy.
Mom seemed to value this notebook, and she was clearly flustered when she found it. Allison didn’t
know what secrets the notebook held, but she didn’t want to suspect her mother too much. After all,
Grace was her only family.
After thinking for a moment, Allison let out a soft sigh. She then returned the box to its original place,
and continued cleaning.
Grace arrived at the mall alone and walked into a mobile phone shop
Seeing her, the salesperson said, “Ma am, come take a look, we have lots of new models.” Noticing
Grace’s attire, he quickly recommended a few moderately priced phones.
Grace asked, “Do you have the phone endorsed by Penelope?”
“Penelope?” The salesperson immediately replied, “Yes, we do, but it’s not cheap. The high-end model
is 700 dollars, and the lowest-end model is 500 -dollars. Would you like to take a look?”
Grace hesitated, “Alright, I’ll take a look”
The salesperson glanced at Grace’s attire, which was plain and simple. Her pants were faded and had
patches on the sleeves. It didn’t seem like she could afford the kind of phone they were selling.
Perhaps she was buying it for her child. He handed her a phone and explained its various features in
detail.
Grace took out her card, ‘I’ll take this one.”
The salesperson immediately nodded happily, “Alright, ma’am. I’ll get that wrapped up for you. He

On the poster, Penelope wore a pink dress and held a pink phone, her face beaming with a sweet
smile.
When Grace returned home at noon, she found Allison already dressed and ready to go to work. She
planned to go to Red Jack Club early to cover Ashley’s shift.
“Mom, I made lunch. Did you eat out? If not, eat while it’s still hot. I have to go to work soon.” Allison
said.
“You’re going to work this early?” Grace put down her things and headed for the kitchen,
“Yeah, I have some stuff to handle.” Allison got to the doorway and was bending down to change her
shoes when she saw a shopping bag on the cabinet that Grace had brought in Inside was a box for a
new Pro model phone from a major phone manufacturer.
This phone wasn’t cheap, even the lowest price model would cost between four to five hundred dollars.
Why would mom buy this phone….
She pursed her lips, glanced towards the kitchen, bent down to pick up the phone, and found a rolled
up poster. She frowned and unrolled the poster.
It was Penelope on the poster! A phone endorsed by Penelope?
