Chapter 0093 No , she told me , her tone softening .
Honestly , I wanted to hang out with you , because I wanted to talk .
I needed someone to talk to and I need to reassure myself that its all in Whats on your mind ? I asked her .
my head .
She bit her lower lip and stared at her hands .
Not here , she finally said after a brief silence .
Lets just enjoy the evening first .
We can talk when we grab dinner .
I stare at her for a moment longer before relenting .
If she didnt want to talk right now , then we werent going to talk right now .
She wanted to take her mind off things and ease her discomfort .
30 minutes later , we arrived in the busy city .
Leroy parked the car in front of one of the department stores .
He didnt get out with us as I expected him to , but the guards in the car behind us did get out after they parked .
They were wearing casual clothing , but their weapons were clearly hidden beneath their outfits .
They were also trying to not make it obvious that they were following us .
I appreciated the effort , but I doubted that mattered to Irene .
She was still upset that they were there .
Lets go into this store , she said , pointing at one of the high end boutiques .
Ive only ever walked by this store in the past .
Even when my family had money , I never dared walk in here .
I wasnt surprised that this was the first store that Irene wanted to check out though and I wasnt going to argue with her , so I quickly followed her into the boutique .
Pick out anything youd like , she told me from over her shoulder .
Its on me .
You really dont have to buy me anything , I told her , but she was already around the corner and disappeared in a rack of designer clothing .
I sighed and glanced around at all the beautiful outfits and dresses .
These were all too fancy for my taste .
I slowly made my way around the boutique , wondering what it must be like for Irene who could come here whenever she wanted and buy whatever she wanted .
It must be nice to live like that and never worry about money .
Being a Landry , she never had to work a day in her life .
Everything would always be handed to her .
I walked by the jewelry counter and noticed all the gorgeous designs on display .
One in particular caught my eye ; it was a necklace with a ruby pendant and a pure cold chain .
