Chapter 1846
Colton walked toward the two sales clerks and tapped his knuckles against the countertop. “Wrapped anything that the lady from earlier showed interest in. I‘m buying every single one of them.”
The two sales clerks looked embarrassed.
Freyja waited outside for more than 20 minutes, looking down at her watch from time to time to the extent that her feet went numb.
‘If I were to know that this is the case, I might as well have chosen to stay in the car.‘
Two gift boxes were suddenly handed to her, and Colton‘s deep voice came from behind. “Hold them.”
Freyja glanced at the bags, grabbed them impatiently, and turned around to face him. “Mr. Goldmann, may we go back?”
Colton looked at her.
“Is there nothing that you want to buy?”
“I won‘t use any of those items,” she claimed.
Colton scoffed and said, for mercy‘s sake, “If you don‘t have money, I can lend it to you.” Freyja chuckled and restrained her laugh immediately.
” Do you think I‘m poor?”
He responded with a faint hum. “It seems so at the moment.”
She did not even blink. “Lend me a few million dollars then.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a hint of sternness flashed across Colton‘s eyes, and his eyebrows twitched as a frown formed. “What did you just say?”
“Don’t you think I‘m poor?” Freyja‘s expression was unchanged, as if she was admitting her financial state generously.
“I happen to be in need of a few million dollars, so Mr. Goldmann, you might as well lend it to me. Anyway, this amount of money should only feel like a handful of loose change to someone like you, Mr. Goldmann.”
‘I just can’t see through this woman. She‘s definitely not simple-minded, but she‘s not complicated, either. She‘s unpredictable , just like a fog. When you think she’s that kind of person, she‘ll become another type of person in a blink of an eye. And when you want to see through her, you‘ll find out that you can‘t do so no matter what.
‘When I treat her like cr*p, she‘s indifferent about it. When I treat her well, she doesn‘t appreciate it either. She just pisses me off.‘
On the other side of the city, in a huge restaurant...
Only two guests were eating in the restaurant, Daisie and Nollace.
It was obvious that they had reserved the whole restaurant for themselves.
Delicate tableware and wine glasses were placed on the white tablecloth , rose–scented candles had been lit, and the retro all–copper suspended ceiling and the exquisite oil paintings on the walls gave off strong colors and a glamorous atmosphere.
Nollace rearranged the plates of dishes for her and moved her favorite food nearer to her. Suddenly, a shrimp was delivered to the front of his mouth. He paused for a bit, and his grin intensified. “This is the first time you‘ve peeled a shrimp and fed it to me.”
Daisie whispered, “The main reason is that I didn’t have a chance before this...“
