And just like that, Marissa was passively led along, browsing the selection before the man pointed with his long fingers, "How about this pair, honey?"
Marissa could only nod, "Sure, let's take this pair."
"Sir, you have excellent taste. This pair is our latest arrival, a limited edition, we only have two pairs!" The sales associate cheerfully picked up the shoes and handed them to another associate, "Quickly pack these for the gentleman!"
Then she gestured again, "There's also..."
Marissa glared at her with displeasure, "We're in a hurry, we don't have time!"
The man's eyes dimmed slightly, but he still managed a smirk, pinching Marissa's waist. Marissa threw him a flirtatious glance, clearly impatient.
We all felt goosebumps at the sight.
"Gosh, they're so cheesy! I can't believe how luxurious their life is!" Catherine couldn't help but blurt out.
She then turned to me, complaining, "Look at them, Allie. You spend your money on all these freeloaders! The government should award you for your contributions!"
Gevena and Janice couldn't hold back their laughter. Gevena added, "You truly deserve it, no doubt about it!"
I frowned, "An award isn't necessary, but I'm about to hit the jackpot, that's for sure."
Damn it, luck was on my side. I had been thinking about getting Marissa's car back this morning, and now the opportunity had presented itself.
The three of them looked at me in surprise and asked in unison, "What do you mean?"
I leaned in and whispered my plan to them. After listening, they clapped in approval.
Gevena clapped her hands, "Let's go, we need to find a place to relax. Even the mistress knows how to enjoy life, we should also take a break. Let's go, my treat!"
"I'll take care of it. That Dawson slug is feeling generous today, he said to treat Gevena to a fancy place, spare no expense!" I stood up, "Hand me your card!"
