She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1079

Despite knowing full well the woman was putting on a pathetic show of wealth, the associate dutifully returned with the store's crown jewel in menswear.

Aria glanced at the price tag and nearly dropped the garment in shock.

The coat was over twelve thousand dollars.

That was literally her entire life savings. If she blew it all right now, her bank account would drop to absolute zero.

But...

She could feel Melanie's mocking gaze searing into her skin, practically daring her to admit she couldn't afford it.

Her heart hammering violently in her chest, Aria gritted her teeth, stomped her foot, and threw caution to the wind.

"I'll take it! Ring it up with the suit I'm wearing."

Her two colleagues gasped, genuinely astounded by her audacity.

"Director Royce, you're incredibly generous! So luxurious!"

"If a woman bought that for me, I'd drop to my knees and cry."

Soaking up their shallow praise, Aria let her gaze drift seductively toward Preston.

Coincidentally, he was looking right at her.

The moment their eyes met, a fierce, triumphant thrill surged through her veins.

Ever since she ran into them, he had treated her like absolute dirt.

But the moment she offered to buy him the finest piece in the boutique, she commanded his undivided attention.

Didn't that prove every single penny was worth it?

Aria flipped her hair, batting her lashes with a coy, practiced smile.

So what if it drained her savings? With a high-ranking position at the Lockridge Group, she would be rolling in cash soon enough.

The more she justified it, the more brilliant her impulsive decision seemed.

Preston watched her march to the register without saying a word.

He knew damn well that the twelve-thousand-dollar piece was for him.

Yet he made zero effort to stop her.
