“From a businessman’s perspective, this is a good opportunity to gain fame and fortune. Why did you refuse?” After we walked away for a while, Julia stopped and asked me.
Tilting my head, I stuck out my tongue and smiled mischievously. “From a spoiled woman’s perspective, this is a good opportunity to redeem my self-esteem, so of course I have to refuse! I can’t be doing whatever they want me to do, right? I’m the woman whom Christopher values wholeheartedly. I won’t do this kind of thing.”
The first half of what I said was my sincere thought, while the second half was meant to please Julia. Clearly, she was happy with my flattery. It was rare that she did not say anything harsh but agreed with me. “You’re right. True talent will ultimately speak for itself. You don’t have to go with the flow at all.”
After walking forward two steps, I realized that she was complimenting me. In an instant, a wide grin spread across my face. “Thank you for the compliment, Mrs. Lane!”
“Who said I was complimenting you?” Immediately, she refuted my words. She was resolute and would not admit that she was praising me.
I remained silent as I did not want to make her angry anymore. Otherwise, I would be digging my own grave. When we passed by a bank, she opened her bag and took a brief look inside. “I didn’t bring any cash with me today. I’ll go and withdraw some money.”
In actuality, I wanted to say that I had cash with me, but as someone who was used to living a parsimonious life, I did not have more than three thousand on me. Later on, should she choose something worth more than that amount, it would be embarrassing if we could not pay with our cards.
Entering the bank, I was about to get a number and line up. Just then, I saw her taking out a card with a big red peony printed on it and walking to the VIP counter. Soon after she sat down, a lovely girl came to her service.
At the sight of that, I lifted my head and sighed. As expected, I did not understand the life of a magnate. Just like what Sabrina said, I was the most miserable heiress she had ever seen. I even had to borrow my first credit card from her.
