The shop assistant was taken aback.
“Ms. Martin, this bag comes in five colors.
Are you certain you want all of them?” Catalina couldn’t let Harmony assume she couldn’t afford them.
She held her head high and said, “Yes, I want to buy them as gifts.” Meanwhile, Harmony glanced at the price tag, and a smirk appeared on her face.
She then walked over and stopped in front of another bag.
“Sera, you have a lot of stuff.
I think this larger one would be perfect for you!” she suggested, and Sera nodded.
“Yes, I like this one too.
Let’s buy it! I’ll pay.
One for each of us.” Catalina’s expression started to change.
She suddenly realized that Harmony and Sera were putting on an act while she assumed Harmony would lose interest and leave.
Little did she know that Harmony would pull this trick.
Harmony also noticed that Catalina had seen through her plan.
So, she dropped the act and said to Catalina, “Ms.
Martin, you’ve selected quite a few there.
I’m curious to see if you’re really going to pay.
You wouldn’t secretly return them after we leave, would you?” Catalina was proud, and Harmony had taken advantage of that.
“As if I’d do that! Do you think I can’t afford a few bags?!” Catalina knew that Harmony was setting a trap for her, but she couldn’t bring herself to refuse.
Instead, she kept falling into it.
“Of course, I know you can afford it, so why don’t you buy them and prove it to me? If you don’t pay, I’ll take them.” Harmony provoked her, feeling over the moon even if she didn’t buy the bags herself.
