Before Sonia could accept the dress from Rebecca, Tina walked over and stretched out her hand to snatch it away. “I want this too.”
Sonia’s red lips pressed tightly.
Rebecca was even more furious now. She stared at Tina with her arms akimbo. “Are you deliberately trying to mess with us? You already took President Reed’s dress away just now, and now you want to do it again?”
Tina put the dress over her arm. “Yes, I am doing it purposely. Since you said that the previous dress was defective, go ahead and comment about this one. I doubt that every one of them here has defects.”
“How dare you—”
“Enough. Rebecca, just ignore her.” Sonia stopped Rebecca, who was about to get furious, and gave Tina a cold glance before walking forward.
Rebecca was a little unwilling. “President Reed, are we just going to let her get away with it?”
“Of course not. You'll know later,” Sonia replied in a low voice, and then picked the most expensive one among the front row of dresses.
Although Rebecca didn’t know what she was going to do, she didn't ask any more questions.
Sonia stood in front of the mirror with the dress in her hand and placed the dress in front of her body. With that, she whispered, “Five, four, three, two—”
Before she could even count to ‘one’, Tina's voice rang. “I want that too.” The dress in Sonia’s hand was indeed very beautiful. Although she hadn’t put it on, she could already see how beautiful she would look in it just from seeing how it looked in the mirror.
She knew the reason why Sonia was here—it was to choose a dress to attend the charity auction in a few days. She was determined to not let Sonia wear this dress and attract all of Toby's attention.
“Well, if you really want it, then I’ll gladly give it to you.” Seeing Tina coming over, Sonia smiled and passed the dress over, whereupon Tina reached out and grabbed it.
In the next second, Sonia turned around, went to the next shelf, and continued to choose the most expensive dress.
Shortly after, Tina snatched that dress away again.
Sonia pretended to be angry and stared at her for a while, as if she wanted to get angry, but finally held back and went to the other shelves.
Seeing how angry Sonia was to her, Tina’s frustration just now was finally washed away and replaced with boastful pride.
Hmph! Continue choosing, then. No matter what you choose, I will snatch them all! she thought to herself.
Next, several more dresses were snatched by Tina. Rebecca was so angry that she could no longer bear it. However, as she looked over at Sonia and suddenly saw the arc on her lips, she instantly understood what was going on.
“President Reed, did you purposely pick the most expensive ones and let Tina snatch them?”
Rebecca leaned into Sonia’s ear and whispered.
Sonia nodded. “Yes. Since she doesn't want me to buy a dress for myself, she’ll be willing to grab whichever I like. If that’s the case, then why don't I just choose the most expensive ones and let her purse bleed for once?”
“Genius! Genius move!” Rebecca gave Sonia a thumbs up.
Sonia smiled. “What’s more, the reason why Tina is here choosing a dress at this time must be to participate in the charity auction. Remember the cause of the charity auction that I told you about? It's to protect wild animals.”
“That’s right.” Rebecca nodded.
Sonia squinted. “Then what do you think will happen if one were to wear accessories that were made out of wild animal fur at such a charity auction?”
Rebecca smiled. “I understand what you want to do now. Leave it all to me."
She patted her chest, then put away the smile on her face and said angrily, “President Reed, she has grabbed so many dresses from you. How can you just tolerate her? Those dresses are so beautiful! It will be splendid should you accessorize it with a fur cape and a crocodile handbag, but she took them all!”
“Forget it. Let’s just choose another one. We can add accessories to the others too.” Sonia patted the back of Rebecca’s hand, motioning her to calm down.
Not far away, Tina heard the conversation between the two, whereupon her eyelids drooped in thought.
Pair it with a fur cape and a crocodile handbag?
Immediately, she turned to look at Cynthia behind her, who was holding a few dresses for her, then she took a dress from her arms to take a look. In fact, she thought that they would indeed look really good together.
These dresses were very exquisite. If she were to add a fur cape onto it, she would add an elegant feminine charm onto the outfit.
She wanted to try it out.
Rebecca, who was quietly watching Tina’s actions, saw the movement on Tina’s face and laughed. “Alas, she has taken the bait.”
“Since she is hooked, then we can stop. Hi, retail assistant!” Sonia raised her hand and called out.
The assistant walked over hurriedly. “Hello, miss."
