They even had the hovering gas pumps set up on the flight route and prepared to refuel their aircraft in mid-air.
After getting on the aircraft, Zeke asked, “Sole Wolf, have you noticed anything suspicious at United Group in the past few days?”
Sole Wolf shook his head. “Everything looks normal in United Group. There was nothing suspicious going on.”
“Okay.” Zeke heaved a sigh of relief, hoping that he was being superfluous.
Zeke had already left, but that didn't stop the four females from shopping.
The cooperation with United Group had been finalized, and they would have to return to Atheville the next day. Thus, they took the opportunity to spend the rest of their day experiencing the culture and customs of this ancient city. In other words, it was time for them to splurge some money.
However, Dawn's worries were not without reason. They certainly attracted the gazes of countless people as soon as they took to the streets.
The men were attracted by their beauty even as the women envied them.
Among the four, the women looked youthful and lively, while the little girl looked sweet and lovely. They instantly became the most beautiful sight on the streets.
Of course, many lecherous hooligans approached them and pestered them.
However, before they could make their move, they were immediately dealt with by the bodyguards hidden in the shadows.
Zeke wouldn't let the four unparalleled beauties walk the streets alone, especially in this unfamiliar place. He had already assigned bodyguards to follow them secretly.
The four of them entered a fashion store and went on a shopping spree.
Money was not an issue, and their addiction kicked in as soon as they started their purchase. In a short amount of time, their shopping cart was full of bags of different sizes.
Even Missy was consumed by their unceasingly intense buying; she also chose two beautiful pieces of clothing for herself.
After their shopping streak, the three women raced to the cashier, fighting to pay.
In the end, Lacey sternly said, “I'll make the payment. The company will reimburse our expenses for this time. Treat it as your reward for successfully signing this contract.”
As soon as they knew they would be reimbursed, Nancy and Dawn stopped contesting.
Lacey worked out the bill, and the four of them had actually spent a total of one hundred and fifty thousand.
The most expensive item was a bag that Nancy fancied. The price of it alone was nearly eighty thousand.
Lacey went ahead and swiped her card. However, before she could enter her password, she suddenly heard Nancy's scream from behind her. “Dawnie, what's wrong?”
Lacey's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly turned around.
To her shock, Dawn was lying motionless on the cold floor with her eyes closed.
She had fainted.
Lacey squatted down and quickly shouted, “Dawnie, Dawnie! What's wrong? Wake up! Nancy, what happened?”
However, there was no response from Nancy.
“Nancy?”
Lacey looked up, and her mind was struck with anxiety and panic.
Nancy was also incapacitated on the ground, unconscious.
Lacey was shocked to the core.
“Nancy, Dawnie, what's wrong with you two? Wake up!”
Missy was frightened by the scene. She shook Dawn's hand vigorously. “Ms. Castaneda, Ms. Castaneda, what's wrong with you? Please don't scare me!”
The four of them had already attracted many people's attention with their beauty. But now that two of them had fainted, many passers-by gathered around to stare. The place instantly became crowded with people.
The cashier said indifferently, “Miss, please enter your password and make the payment.”
Lacey got angry and snapped back at the cashier, “What payment? Can't you see someone has fainted? Hurry up and call the ambulance!”
The cashier stuck her nose high up in the air and looked down on Lacey domineeringly. “Hah! I've seen many people like you. You dress flamboyantly and come to this luxurious establishment to lure unsuspecting men into paying for your bill. However, you didn't get lucky today. Now that nobody is going to pay for you, you faint on purpose during the payment process so that you don't have to pay for anything. For your information, some of these items here have already been opened, so you must pay for them no matter what.”
