She had only a few cheap clothes, which seemed radically out of place in the huge, refined dressing room.
Josie changed into a maxi dress she bought last year and put on simple makeup.
When she went downstairs, Dexter was already sitting on the couch waiting. Then, the two left the villa without any interaction.
Josie stared at Dexter and mumbled carefully, “I lost my full-attendance bonus because I took the day off to visit your grandfather.”
“It’s just a thousand.”
To a businessman, one thousand was nothing, but to Josie, that was enough to cover her monthly living expenses. While Josie was sulking, Dexter’s voice came forth.
“Make grandpa happy today, and I’ll compensate the bonus to you.”
Josie’s eyes lit up at once.
Soon, the car stopped at a shopping mall, but not a hospital. Josie asked in confusion, “Aren’t we going to visit your grandfather?”
Dexter cast a glance at her dress and made a harsh comment. “If grandpa sees your outfit, he’ll probably think that our company is going bankrupt soon. Otherwise, why would my wife’s outfit be this old?”
Josie was rendered speechless. Is this dress old? It’s a counterfeit of a dress that was in vogue in the fashion week this year!
Josie did not dare to refute him, so she followed Dexter to a high-end branded shop. Dexter walked around in the shop, casually picked a few dresses, and threw them to Josie.
“Try them on.”
Josie took over the dresses like a robot and walked into the fitting room obediently.
She looked at the price tag – the cheapest one was more than ten thousand, equivalent to her monthly salary. It was her first time wearing such delicate dresses, so she was cautious.
