Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 175

They walked to the fresh food section and picked up some tomatoes. Ella turned around and said, "I don't want to be with you in secret." She was trying to get away from him, from the man who was cruel enough to make her go through an abortion.

"Be my girl then and I'll protect you." He pushed the cart and stopped in front of the fish and shrimp section.

Their conversation circled back to the beginning. Ella didn't bother to argue with him so she picked some shrimp and other types of seafood. Then they proceeded to the second floor of the supermarket for more items.

As Ella was watching, Samuel picked expensive toothbrushes and threw them into the cart.

'Aren't there new toothbrushes at my place?' Ella thought. When she was carried into the bathroom by him the night before, she could faintly remember seeing him brush his teeth.

"Did you buy the type with the hard bristles? You're stingy." He looked at her and shook his head. Then, he put his chosen toothbrushes back on the shelf and chose a different set of toothbrushes that were similar in colour.

... Why was she being stingy? The toothbrush she bought was not cheap at all. and allthough it was half the price he had just got, she only used it occasionally and didn't need to buy any expensive ones.

After walking around the entire supermarket and picking out what she needed, Ella accompanied Samuel to the beauty counter upstairs. Samuel wanted to buy some skin care products for himself.

Passing the facial mask aisle, Ella lingered off.

Samuel continued walking and speaking to himself, when he noticed that Ella had wandered off by herself. When he looked back, he found Ella was already in a shop.

He reluctantly shook his head and followed her, finding her selecting facial masks.

The sales assistant next to her was speaking to her about more expensive facial masks, but Ella refused.

Samuel looked at the price of the facial masks and found it was 888 for a pack of ten.

The facial mask worked in three ways, with caviar collagen to hydrate, ocean essence to moisturise and Himalayan cliff honey to nourish the skin.

"How many facial masks do you need?" He put down the facial mask in his hand and asked Ella, who was looking at another brand.

Ella thought about it. She was given some facial masks by advertisers, which were at her house, but there was none at the apartment, so she replied, "Maybe, a dozen or so..." She preferred to buy a lot at once and save them for later use.

Seeing that she had been looking at the hydrating facial mask, Samuel talked to the sales assistant next to her, "Please give me ten boxes of this product."

Ella was surprised to see Samuel pointing to the one with the 888 price tag. Ella quickly stopped him and said to the sales woman, "No, I'll just take this one. Please bring me a couple of this." She pointed to the pack of facial masks next to her, which were priced at 222, and pushed Samuel aside.

Was he crazy? She had a high level of consumption, but not so much to such a extent that a facial mask would cost nearly a thousand.

Samuel was displeased at her interruption, so he pushed her back and extended his hand, "We will take this one."

The beautiful blonde-haired saleswoman held back her excitement and confirmed to Samuel, "Sir, so you would like ten of them, right?"

"Yes." The man answered decisively and pushed Ella behind him again and again.

"All right, wait for a moment, please." The sales woman rushed to the warehouse to get the goods.

When the assistant left, Samuel let go. Ella scolded, "Mr. Shao, do you know that once you use this good mask, it's hard to use any other brand. And it becomes expensive, especially since I use a facial mask almost in a day or two. In a month I will use about twenty, maybe even thirty..."
