Chapter 281 Zach's car pulled up at the carpark of the mall.
Madelyn followed behind Zach, thinking they were heading straight fifth floor. But he went to the first floor, the jewelry section.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZach walked up to a counter, where the salesperson seemed to know him. “Mr. Jardin, the Cartier you ordered last week has arrived. Please take a look and see if it meets your satisfaction.” As she spoke, her gaze landed on Madelyn with a smile. “And is this lovely young lady your girlfriend? She would look stunning with it on.
Madelyn quickly denied, “You've got it wrong, I'm his sister.” She thought to herself, ‘Girlfriend? Ugh, no way!’ “Brother, I'll go upstairs first.” Just as she took a step, Zach grabbed her wrist. He pulled out a beautifully crafted diamond necklace. “Why not give this a try?” “I don’t want it!” Madelyn struggled, trying to free herself from his grasp. His expression darkened. He then spoke to the salesperson, “I'm sorry, she’s been in a mood lately.” Madelyn thought to herself, Zach always acted like that around other people. He showed one side of himself to everyone, but behind closed doors, he could be different. He seemed polite and charming on the outside, but there was more to him that nobody else knew about.
Zach was so assertive that she couldn’t refuse the necklace. He brushed aside her long hair and put the necklace around her neck.
The necklace was simple and elegant. Madelyn had seen it in a fashion magazine before; it was the latest design from one of the top ten luxury jewelry brands, a limited-edition piece that was incredibly expensive and hard to come by, even if you had the money.
Madelyn couldn't figure out where he got all that money from. But even if he had tons of money, she didn’t want the things he bought. It kind of felt like she was just some sugar baby to him. She thought to herself, ‘He’s buying me this fancy jewelry after doing that to me! What does he think of me? Seeing another necklace that was in the way, Zach’s expression changed slightly, but it returned to normal after a few seconds.
13 The salesperson immediately praised, “You have excellent taste, and the necklace suits her so well.” Zach turned her around and looked at her while gently touching the sparkling diamond. “Not bad, it suits you really well!” “Yeah right, but you didn’t even ask if | like it!” Madelyn reached over, undid the clasp of the necklace, and took it off, placing it into his hand. “Give it to Jadie or Yvonne! | won't keep it. | have some clothes to shop for Rosario. Please excuse me.” With that, she left the jewelry store.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe salesperson watched as if she was witnessing a unfold. She kept on smiling and peeked at Zach. When she saw his expression, she didn’t want to make a peep. She thought to herself, ‘He seems so classy and good-looking, but who would've thought he’s a playboy. No wonder that girl was mad.” This mall was the fanciest one where rich folks liked to go in Ventropolis. The salesperson had seen all sorts of crazy stuff happen here. Once, a super important CEO from a big company came with his sugar baby to buy a ring, but then his wife showed up and caught them right there. It was like a soap opera or something. After seeing all that, the salesperson didn’t really get shocked by much anymore.
“M-Mr. Jardin, do you still want this necklace?” “Wrap it up.” “O-Okay...” Meanwhile, Madelyn made her way to the fifth floor, where they sold women’s clothes. Each piece of clothing had a price tag of five to six hundred dollars. Yep, not exactly cheap. But when it came to spending money for Rosario, Madelyn didn’t really mind.
Madelyn might not have a good eye for men, but she sure knew her way around clothes. She picked out two or three different styles of jackets. Just as she was about to pull out her card, Zach beat her to it.
“This is for Rosario, you don’t need to pay.” She declined Zach's kindness.
“When shopping, | always cover the bill for the ladies,” he insisted. Then he looked at the store assistant and said, “Go ahead, swipe it!” Zach's attitude was firm as usual. Madelyn tried to protest, but eventually, she gave in.
The store assistant looked surprised for a moment, then quickly grabbed Zach's card and swiped it on the machine.
Zach signed the receipt, and they headed out after that.
