Joan told Darren to pay the bills when they entered the house.
"Sir, here are your clothes, tie and belt. Here are your credit card and consumption bill. Wish you a happy shopping."
There was a black VIP card with a huge diamond printed on it. Few people in the world could have such a card. If the balance of the card couldn't reach the minimum limit of the bank card, then one would pay a lot of money every year, and the bank might take it back over time. Therefore, from the age and amount of the card, it was obvious that this man was not ordinary.
"You've done so much for me. I want to buy you something as well.." He took her to the women's wear area and let her choose what she liked.
Except for high heels! He wouldn't let her try them on.
"This one is very beautiful, isn't it?" People were always like this. When they were restricted and didn't allow to buy anything, the more they wanted to buy it, she flirted with Darren with a pair of creamy white leather shoes, "Let me have a try. I just want to have a try."
Noticing that Joan liked the shoes so much, the saleslady in the shop would like to step in and encourage consumers to buy them. Furthermore, the price of the shoes made up more than half of her bonus. Thus, she tried her best to incite Darren, "Yes, sir. Miss Gu's skin is very white and her figure is in good condition. She matches the shoes on our shop."
"She is pregnant!"
With a straight face, Darren wasn't touched by her words at all. He thought that she couldn't have a try. If she got hurt, it would only take a few seconds. He couldn't let that happen.
"Oh, I'm really sorry." The lady stuck out her tongue and looked at the sir and the girl who loved him dearly with loving eyes all the time.
Unable to change his mind, Joan put down her high heels and turned around to check on flats. She put the golden and white ones on both sides and lifted them up to ask him.
"Is the golden one better or the white one?"
He just thought they both looked good, so he asked, "Do you like white so much?"
Of course, he knew Joan's likes and dislikes. He had noticed all her wardrobe before, including the white high heels.
"The color white is so nice. It's pure, young and clean."
What she missed most in the prison was also white clothes, but she didn't even use white towels during the three years there.
After they just walked out of the shopping mall, Darren put her on the sofa for a rest and then went to the bathroom.
"Miss Gu, I didn't expect to see you here."
Joan turned around, but the first thing she saw was a face she had never seen before.
The man lifted his sunglasses up and carried it high above his head. Instead of messing with his hair, he put all the hair behind his back with spray. Although he looked at her in a polite manner, Joan somehow felt that he wasn't a good person.
"Sorry, I don't remember you. Who are you?"
She greeted him.
"It's normal that you don't know me, because we haven't met each other before. But I have been in S City for many years. How can I don't know your name? You were the daughter of the Gu family in the past, and now the fiancee of the president of the Lu Company, and now the most popular architect designer. How can I don't know your name?"
She shrank her shoulders as she saw the man. The men behind him looked fierce. She didn't know what the security guards in the mall worked for and why they could act as if nothing had happened.
She pretended to look at the phone, "I'm waiting for my husband here. If you don't have anything else to talk about, I won't keep you chatting. Today I really just come to have a rest. I don't want to talk about other problems."
"It seems that Miss Gu doesn't trust me." Adam blurted out as he narrowed his eyes, which made Joan feel bad. He was such an impolite man. How could he stare at a lady like that?
"You must be kidding, sir. As you said, I don't know you. Of course, there is no doubt or trust between us. I have confidence in friends and my family. If I trust strangers, isn't that stupid? " She stood up and was ready to go to the bathroom to find Darren. She didn't want to sit here and tangle with this strange man any more.
But the man stood in her way.
"What are you doing?"
She felt a little scared and covered her belly with her hands subconsciously. "My husband is coming out soon. Who the hell are you? What do you want to do! Don't push your luck! "
With a laugh, Adam patted on her shoulder and said, "Relax, young lady. I won't hurt you. I'm just curious about you. I want to know what kind of woman Mr. Lu would like."
'So? 'He just came to say hi?'
He didn't have any connections with this kind of person. His business was focused on real estate business, and this man didn't look like a serious business man.
