Chapter 0093 No , she told me , her tone softening .<\/p>\n
Honestly , I wanted to hang out with you , because I wanted to talk .<\/p>\n
I needed someone to talk to and I need to reassure myself that its all in Whats on your mind ? I asked her .<\/p>\n
my head .<\/p>\n
She bit her lower lip and stared at her hands .<\/p>\n
Not here , she finally said after a brief silence .<\/p>\n
Lets just enjoy the evening first .<\/p>\n
We can talk when we grab dinner .<\/p>\n
I stare at her for a moment longer before relenting .<\/p>\n
If she didnt want to talk right now , then we werent going to talk right now .<\/p>\n
She wanted to take her mind off things and ease her discomfort .<\/p>\n
30 minutes later , we arrived in the busy city .<\/p>\n
Leroy parked the car in front of one of the department stores .<\/p>\n
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 .<\/p>\n
They were wearing casual clothing , but their weapons were clearly hidden beneath their outfits .<\/p>\n
They were also trying to not make it obvious that they were following us .<\/p>\n
I appreciated the effort , but I doubted that mattered to Irene .<\/p>\n
She was still upset that they were there .<\/p>\n
Lets go into this store , she said , pointing at one of the high end boutiques .<\/p>\n
Ive only ever walked by this store in the past .<\/p>\n
Even when my family had money , I never dared walk in here .<\/p>\n
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 .<\/p>\n
Pick out anything youd like , she told me from over her shoulder .<\/p>\n
Its on me .<\/p>\n
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 .<\/p>\n
I sighed and glanced around at all the beautiful outfits and dresses .<\/p>\n
These were all too fancy for my taste .<\/p>\n
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 .<\/p>\n
It must be nice to live like that and never worry about money .<\/p>\n
Being a Landry , she never had to work a day in her life .<\/p>\n
Everything would always be handed to her .<\/p>\n
I walked by the jewelry counter and noticed all the gorgeous designs on display .<\/p>\n
One in particular caught my eye ; it was a necklace with a ruby pendant and a pure cold chain .<\/p>\n
There were clusters of diamonds around the ruby that made it sparkle under the illuminating light .<\/p>\n
It was the most beautiful necklace I had ever seen , and I found myself drawn to it .<\/p>\n
I reached out to touch the ruby with my fingertips but the black box that held the piece was immediately slammed shut , I managed to pull my fingers away before they were hurt and I looked up at the furious woman that stood before me .noveldrama<\/p>\n
What the hell do you think youre doing ?? She asked through her teeth .<\/p>\n
My heart hammered wildly in my chest .<\/p>\n
I was just looking- Chapter 0093 You cant even afford to breathe in this store let alone touch this necklace .<\/p>\n
Keep your grimy fingers off ! My face paled and my wolf growled in my head .<\/p>\n
She did not like this woman speaking to us like that .<\/p>\n
Im sorry ? You should be , she hissed .<\/p>\n
How dare you walk into my boutique and think you have any right to touch anything here .<\/p>\n
You shouldnt be here .<\/p>\n
Im a customer- She barked out a laugh , cutting off my words .<\/p>\n
Oh , please .<\/p>\n
You couldnt afford one of our socks let alone jewelry , she murmured , shaking her head .<\/p>\n
She glanced down at my outfit and grimaced .<\/p>\n
I mean look at you ; youre dressed like a cheap hooker .<\/p>\n
Is that what you do for work ? Must be a real struggle to have to suck dick for a living .<\/p>\n
You have no idea what you are talking about , I argued .<\/p>\n
I cant believe you were about to touch a 5 million dollar necklace .<\/p>\n
Youre lucky you didnt dirty it , or Id make you pay for it , she said , shaking her head as she put the necklace back on display .<\/p>\n
How about you save yourself from further embarrassment and get the fuck out of this store ! What seems to be the problem ? A gruffly male voice said from nearby .<\/p>\n
A tall man , wearing a nice suit and black designer glasses , walked out from behind the counter .<\/p>\n
The woman sneered at me and her lip curled in disgust .<\/p>\n
She almost ruined the Emily Wonton designer ruby necklace , the woman hissed .<\/p>\n
The man looked at me , sizing me up from my toes to my head and his eyes narrowed .<\/p>\n
Do you have any idea how expensive that necklace is He asked .<\/p>\n
Im the manager of this boutique and I made the rule that anyone who cant afford my product wasnt allowed in here .<\/p>\n
If you arent going to make a purchase , then I suggest you leave .<\/p>\n
Look at her ; she cant afford anything here , the woman shickered .<\/p>\n
Shes pathetic .<\/p>\n
Ill have security throw her out immediately , sir .<\/p>\n
No need to get security , a familiar voice said from behind me .<\/p>\n
Im sure we can talk this out like adults .<\/p>\n
