The next day, Layla took Ivy shopping again and after visiting a few other stores, Ivy decided that she preferred the dress from the day before, so they went back to the store to purchase all three dresses.
Layla knew her mother's measurements and did not have to consult Avery.
"Can you have them adjusted by tonight?" Layla asked the owner. "We need them for tomorrow."
"I will have them adjusted by tonight," the owner promised. "Ms. Tate, you are a loyal customer here. We will do our best to fulfill your request."
"Great. I'll pay now!" Layla took out her card from her purse.
Ivy took out her own card. "Layla, why don't we use my card? I haven't gotten to use it yet! I don't even know what the limit of the card is."
Layla burst into laughter. "That's a sub-card to Dad's account. There's no limit to it. You can easily buy a house with it."
"..."
"If you want to try spending your money, you can use your card!"
"Will Dad find out?"
"Haha! Worried that he will be upset? Relax! He doesn't care where we spend our money. Robert is using the secondary card to Dad's account as well. He uses it to buy cars and digital products. Expensive stuff. Dad never says a word about it."
Ivy immediately handed the owner her card. The owner ran the card and Ivy pressed in the password for the card.
"Layla, did Dad give you your card?" Ivy asked as she put her credit card away.
"I used to use a secondary card to Mom's account because the money I made as a child was kept in her account, but I started using my own card after I turned eighteen. Mom would put a certain amount of allowance into my account each month. If you don't want your every move to be watched, you can make your own account as well."
