Chapter 80 Shopping
Rupert Robinson only said that Lance Manson offered bribes to the mayor, but he didn’t have any
evidence. If he had, he wouldn’t have worked with me.
I gave him a phone number and asked him to call me if he has anything to tell.
I had been here for 30 minutes after Rupert kidnapped me. Lance would be suspicious if I didn’t buy
anything with his card.
Before I left, Rupert Robinson said, “How would I know you wouldn’t work with him to take me down?”
I looked at Rupert and laughed at his words, “Do you have anything worth to make me take you down?
At this very moment, you can only choose to trust me because no one is going to save you. Just
remember that I am not helping you but myself. We have the same enemy, so you and I are allies.”
“The court didn’t give me much time, you need to be fast and help me get the money to cover up, and I
will try to collect the evidence of the bribe for you.”
After I left the hotel, I ran towards the mall and I saw a shoe shop that was having a sale. Even on sale
the shoes still cost ten thousand. I bought two pairs of shoes.
I can’t only buy two pairs of shoes; I needed to buy more things so that Lance Mason wouldn’t be
suspicious.
I walked into a store that was selling ties. I walked in and chose a tie for Lance Mason. I was thinking
what kind of colour he likes; he had a lot of ties and most of his
ties are navy blue or army green colour. I bought a pink colour tie for him and didn’t even bother to look
at the price.
I realized that the tie cost 7 thousand when I went to pay at the counter. Luckily, it’s not my money.
I bought another two white shirts for him and another pair of couple watches.
Thad used up three million in this mall and my hands were full. When I walked out of the mall, I saw the
driver waiting for me.
The driver came out of the car and got all the things from me. I asked him if he had been waiting for a
long time. But he said no and Lance Mason made him come 30 minutes later.
Lance Mason is nice to his worker, he never treated them like a servant. Just like now, he let his driver
come and fetch me 30 minutes later to prevent the driver from waiting for me too long outside because
I was still in the mall shopping.
When Lance came back that night, I showed him the watch I bought and asked him if it looks good.
He held my hands up and nodded, “Looks good on you.”
I bravely kissed his cheek after that and said, “….. bought a pair of couple watches, do you want to try
yours?”
He looked at me with so much seriousness in his eyes, it made me think that he was angry so I
explained in a low voice, “I was looking at this watch and the staff told me that it was a couple watch,
that’s why I bought it.”
He reached out his hand and stroked my hair, “It doesn’t matter, what matters is that you like it.”
I pulled him with me to the bedroom and took out the watch and said, “See, it looks good right? Do you
want to try and wear it?”
He looked at me and said, “Just put it there, I don’t like Patek Philippe. I’m more used to wearing
Tourbillon.”
I was a bit disappointed, “Is it because this is a couple watch with mine?”
Lance looked at me without any facial expression and said, “Are you tired, Jennie Gomez?”
I didn’t quite get it, “What?”
“I am tired and you have been out there shopping for a whole day, let’s rest.” Lance said.
After that he walked into the bathroom and left me in the bedroom alone. I looked at the watch and
laughed bitterly.
(After a long time after many things had happened, I finally understood why he asked if I was tired.)
When Lance came out from the bathroom, I was sitting on the floor of the walk-in closet arranging the
things that I bought today.
Lance was drying his hair while walking towards me, “You like all of this?” He asked while looking at all
the things on the floor.
I nodded happily and smiled at him, “Of course I like all of these, which woman wouldn’t like bags,
clothes, perfumes and jewel? I saw a Sapphire necklace today, but I didn’t buy it. It was too expensive.”
Lance didn’t scold me, he said, “If you like it just buy it, you don’t have to save money for me.”
I stood up happily and tilted my head up to look at him, “Really?” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Lance nodded and said, “Of course, just buy anything you want.”
I put my tongue out and smiled at him, “I won’t simply use your money to buy anything, I will just buy
things that I like.”
“Go and take a shower, I will ask the maid to arrange all of this in the morning.”
