Natalia took out her phone and glanced at the screen. A frown creased her face at once.
Laura asked, “What’s wrong?”
Natalia said, “Nothing. I have to take this. You go ahead and try this one.”
Laura nodded. She watched Natalia go outside to take the call before entering the fitting room.
After stepping out of the store, Natalia answered the call.
Felix was instantly carried into her ear.
“Natalia, I have a favor to ask. Are you available now?”
Natalia knitted her brows. She said crossly, “Felix, I think our friendship has long ended. You can’t just call me and ask me for favors.”
Felix was not mad when he heard this.
Instead, he chuckled and said, “Don’t reject me so soon. Please hear me out. Rest assured. Now I’m asking you for a favor, which can’t possibly only benefit me.”
Natalia then said nothing.
Felix quickly told her what favor he wanted.
After he was done, Natalia still didn’t speak.
After a long while, she finally said, “I can help you with this, but you need to increase the money you just offered by 2%.”
Felix didn’t sound surprised at this.
He clicked his tongue and said, “Well, is somebody being a bit greedy? Sure, I’ll pay more if you want.”
After hearing this, Natalia hung up.
But she didn’t hurry back to the store.
Instead, she stood there holding her phone. After doing some thinking, she dialed another number.
In the store.
Laura changed into the new dress and came out of the fitting room. Just then, she saw Natalia walk in with a slightly gloomy face.
Laura could tell something was on her mind, so she asked with concern, “Natalia, anything wrong?”
Natalia slightly puckered her brows, waved at her, and said, “Everything’s fine.”
Then, her eyes were riveted on the new dress Laura was wearing. She smiled and said, “You look great in it. Buy this one.”
Laura checked her reflection in the mirror.
With her curvy body wrapped in this white mermaid dress, she now looked like a goddess, glowing with elegance.
She nodded and smiled as well. “I also like this one. I’ll take this then.”
Natalia bobbed her head.
Thus, Laura changed out of the dress and brought it to the counter to make the payment.
The two then walked out of the store with the dress.
Noticing that Natalia seemed laden with anxiety, Laura hesitated for a moment but still asked, “Natalia, are you sure everything's fine?”
Natalia was dazed. She turned around and looked blankly at Laura. Seconds later, she came to her sense.
She smiled and said, “Well, there is actually something.”
She paused for a moment before continuing, “How about this? You shop for a while yourself. I’ll go handle it. I’ll go and join you after I get it done.”
Laura hurriedly nodded
“Sure. Go ahead. I’ll see a few more shops and then head home.”
Natalia nodded. She also reminded her to be safe before she left.
