Rayna widened her eyes in surprise. “You knew?”
“Mmm-hmm.”
“Come on, lend me your card. I really like the bridal gown.” It was rare for her to find one she liked at first sight that also fitted her perfectly. “I’ll pay you back in installments, all right?”
“Which one?”
Kristie quickly carried the gown to show him, her face filled with anticipation. “This one. How does it look?”
“Hmm, it does look good.” After throwing it a glance, Samson inquired with the salesperson, “How much does this gown cost?”
“Let me check.” After checking with the manager, the salesperson replied, “This piece was designed in collaboration with C&C and costs one million and ninety thousand.”
Kristie hummed in acknowledgment. “It’s rather cheap.”
She had bought many limited edition bags previously that cost around eight hundred thousand. Coupled with the fact that she was decked out in designer wear on a daily basis, she could never grasp the idea of something being expensive.
Realizing something, she turned to Samson. “Don’t tell me that you don’t even have a million?”
“I do.”
“Good—”
“But I don’t want to lend you a million just to buy a bridal gown,” Samson refused. “Ms. Winton, if you only pay me tens of thousands a month, you still won’t be able to clear your debt even after I quit.”
“My card is just frozen for the time being. Curt will definitely unfreeze it next month.”
“Did Mr. Faymon tell you that?”
Kristie’s ensuing silence was an implicit admission that she was lying.
Samson turned around and walked out the door. “Let’s go, Ms. Winton.”
However, Kristie lunged forward to hug his leg with her body squatting on the ground.
When his leg failed to budge, Samson turned to look at her. “Get up. Why are you buying a wedding gown when you’re not getting married?”
“I don’t care! Just buy it for me!” Pouting her lips, Kristie began to kick up a big fuss. “By buying it now, I can give my boyfriend a surprise when he returns!”
Samson was rendered speechless.
“I beg of you, please lend me your card!” Kristie continued to plead coyly. “I’ll sell some of my bags to pay you back after this.”
She was truly enamored with the gown.
All this while, she would never act cute in front of other men other than Curtis and those close to her, but for some reason, Samson had become an exception.
After spending some time with him, he filled her with a sense of security, triggering the urge within her to stay by his side.
Despite not knowing the reason, she just gave in to her emotions.
At that moment, Samson’s eyes glistened for a fleeting moment before he let out a sigh.
“Fine, I’ll buy it for you. Can you please get up already?”
“I knew it! You’re the best!” Kristie scrambled up to her feet and instructed the salesperson, “Pack that gown up for me. We’re going to pay for it right away!”
“Yes, Ms. Winton.” The salesperson was trying hard to hold back her laughter after watching the entire episode.
Nevertheless, Kristie didn’t hold it against her as she left proudly with Samson.
When she arrived downstairs, two young girls in exquisite makeup were whispering in each other’s ears.
Hearing the name “Wyatt Lopez” being mentioned by accident, she walked over to eavesdrop.
One of the girls complained, “Don’t you think that Mr. Lopez is crazy? He orders us to his place just to hear us speak coyly. If he isn’t satisfied with your performance, he would lash out fiercely and kick you out.”
Another girl added, “A friend of mine went there before and was yelled at before being thrown out. Fortunately, she was paid a handsome sum of money.”
