Putting the phone down, Amber looked at the manager, “Wrap up these two dresses and check out.”
“Okay.” The manager smiled and nodded. She picked up two dresses, slapped them over her arms, and led Amber toward the cash register.
After packing the dresses, the manager handed Amber two bags, “Miss Reed, you only need to pay for your dress, not Mr. Farrell’s.”
“Why?” Amber paused as she reached for her card.
The manager explained with a smile, “Well, most of Mr. Farrell’s bills are annual, and we settle all the bills for the year at the last day of the year.”
“Oh, I see.” Amber nodded.
It was true that a lot of the fat cats in the business paid once a year.
“Okay. Credit card.” Amber handed her card over.
The manager took Amber’s card, but instead of rushing to swipe it, she looked at her and asked, “Miss Reed, Mr. Farrell called earlier and said that your dress could be charged to him. You...”
“There’s no need.” Amber knew what she was going to say next and shook her head no, “I ordered the dress, and I already borrowed his VIP status, so he didn’t have to pay for it.”
“Ok, got it.” The manager smiled and gave the card to the clerk at the cash register.
She didn’t really understand.
Weren’t these two people together?
Why did they have to divide things so clearly?
The dress was expensive, but Mr. Farrell didn’t mind the money. It was nothing to Mr. Farrell.
Why wouldn’t Miss Reed use Mr. Farrell’s money?
She had a lot of questions in her mind, but the manager didn’t want to ask her.
After all, it was everyone’s personal business and it was not appropriate for her to ask.
“Miss Reed, please keep your card.” After swiping the card, the manager handed Amber her card back.
Amber took the card and replied with a smile, “All right, I’m gonna go.”
“Good bye.” The manager escorted her out of the store.
Amber walked out of the mall to her car and headed back to Kelsington Bay.
She had been in the dress shop for two hours, and it was after five o’clock, and the office was almost closed, so she didn’t have to go back and she decided to go home directly to get dinner.
Jared said on the phone that he was going to be back late tonight, and after work, he was going back to the Farrell’s Mansion to pick up some stuff.
She had no idea what he was going to get.
Amber shook her head and, without thinking. She went to the car, bent over to her bag, and took out the keys, ready to get in.
At this moment, a man in a mask and hat, wearing a black jacket, walked in the opposite direction.
At first, the man did not walk differently, as if he were really just an ordinary passer-by.
So, Amber took one look at him and didn’t think much of it.
But as he was walking past her, the man made a sudden move, grabbed both bags in her hand and snatched them.
The handle of the bag was fragile and could not withstand such a drag.
There it was. It just snapped.
Two bags fell to the ground and hit Amber in the foot.
The box inside the bag was hard, and Amber groaned in pain as it hit her.
That man took advantage of the moment, bent over, picked up the two bags on the ground, and ran away with them.
Amber finally recovered from the shock of being robbed and realized she had been robbed. Ignoring the pain in her feet, she immediately got in the car and ran in the direction the man was running.
She had no idea that she would be so unlucky as to come out and be robbed.
Maybe it was the logo on the two bags that caught the robber’s attention.
After all, it was a top luxury brand, no matter what was inside, it must worth a lot, so it was easy to make people greedy.
Amber clenched the steering wheel with both hands and stared darkly at the man ahead as he sped away.
