Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 1804

Leena smiled indifferently to Louisa who entered the cue before her. She was generous and outperformed Louisa in both appearance and temperament. By not caring about trifles such as this momentary insult by Louisa, she was far outshining her. She won on personality and charm.

Richard seemed to have figured the situation out now. It turned out that in many cases, people were just pretending that they were getting along well with each other, while actually, they were secretly competing.

"Damn it! Where's my wallet? I can't find it." When it was Louisa's turn to pay, she suddenly became flustered and began digging frantically through her purse.

"Was there anybody suspicious approaching you just now, perhaps?" The cashier reminded her, trying to be helpful.

"No. I keep my wallet in my bag all the time." Louisa kept searching for her wallet, but she still couldn't find it.

"Then think calmly about it again. Maybe you forgot your wallet when you left home?" The cashier tried to calm her down by offering her possibilities for where her wallet was.

"What's wrong? Have you lost your wallet?" Leena had been lost in her own thoughts, but when she heard the noise at the checkout, she went over to see if she could help.

"I don't know if I lost my wallet, or if I forgot to bring it." Louisa was very worried. At this point, the people behind her in the queue began to urge her to hurry up.

"What about your items? Will you take them or not? If you are not going to take them, then could you please give the other customers a chance to pay first? We don't want to hold up the cue. Please don't affect everyone with your crisis!" The cashier looked at the packaged things and spoke to Louisa with a tone full of disrespect. The customers behind her were already getting impatient.

"We'll take them! Swipe my card." Leena handed over her bank card to the cashier as she said this. She didn't mean to insult Louisa in this way, but wanted to help her out and save face for Commander Ye. After all, the people behind her were becoming agitated because of the hold-up.

"No problem." The cashier happily received the bank card. In this way, she did not have to cancel the transaction, which would have taken even more time.

"Well, give me your banking details later. I'll transfer the money back." Louisa felt very embarrassed now, but she could not be so foolish as to refuse Leena's help at this time. Compared with the disdain of the other customers, she would be more willing to accept Leena's help.

"That's all right. Just take it as my gift for Connie!" Leena said softly as she signed the receipt with perfect penmanship.

"No. I'm not used to accepting favors from other people!" Louisa insisted. Anyway, she didn't want anyone to pity her. Even if the other party was really just being kind, she would still be burdened by the feeling of owing them.

"Well. Whatever. Let's rather speak outside." Leena knew that Louisa was an arrogant woman, and would continue arguing the point in front of the many customers, so she just gave up on persuading her. She told Richard to pay at the check out for their groceries, and then she followed Louisa past the cashier's desk to avoid bothering the customers further.

"Don't think that because you helped me today, I now owe you some debt of gratitude. That will never happen!" Louisa spoke as soon as they left the supermarket. Obviously, she was very unhappy about what had just happened.

"Rest assured!. I don't want you to be grateful to me. I did it only for the sake of Commander Ye." Leena knew that paying for Louisa would not win her any goodwill, so she didn't expect much for doing this.

"Send your banking details to my mobile phone, and I'll transfer the money to you as soon as I get home." Actually, when Louisa discovered that her wallet was missing, she could have chosen not to buy these things. But the other shoppers had begun gossiping behind her back in the cue, and they said that Louisa was obviously shameless to come to the mall while she didn't have any money. After hearing their whispering, she had no choice but to accept Leena's help to stave off embarrassment.

"Transferring money is such a bother. You can give me the money if we meet one day." The transaction was just a few hundred dollars, and Leena felt ashamed of such an effort to transfer such a small amount.

"I've got an idea! My husband will come to pick us up shortly. So could you please wait for a while? I'll ask him to give you the money then." Louisa didn't want Leena to meet her husband because Kevin was much more attractive than Louisa's husband. The alternative was to owe the money, but Louisa was unwilling to owe anyone.
