Chapter 23\u00a0<\/p>\n
Imogen arrived at Rowan\u2019s office just as it was time to leave work. She was telling him that she wanted to go shopping in a sweet voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTell Natalie to pick the kids up. It\u2019s been so long since you went shopping with me.\u201d Imogen sat on Rowan\u2019s lap. After sharing those intimate moments, Rowan didn\u2019t avoid her like he used to.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you don\u2019t shop for lingerie with me, I\u2019d have nothing to wear tonight.\u201d She nuzzled against his chest, blushing in\u00a0<\/p>\n
embarrassment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, I\u2019ll go with you,\u201d Rowan agreed dotingly as he gently pinched the tip of her nose.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They were too wild and aggressive in bed, and lingerie was practically unnecessary. Rowan had torn Imogen\u2019s nightgown, so he had to buy her a new one.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After buying some undergarments from the mall, Imogen deliberately brought Rowan to a jewelry store. She even told the staff to bring out the store\u2019s prized item.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s 13 million dollars. Not too expensive. I quite like it.\u201d Imogen wore the necklace and showed it to Rowan. \u201cRowan, do I look good in this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNot bad.\u201d Rowan thought it was quite expensive, but he kept the thought to himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was merely the CEO of Payne Holdings, Payne Group\u2019s subsidiary company. He didn\u2019t have full control over the funds.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCould you buy it for me? Think of it\u2026 as a birthday gift for me,\u201d Imogen begged sweetly and tugged at his hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cImogen, my career is-\u201d What Rowan meant to say was that his career was on the rise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you buying or not?\u201d Imogen cut him off. She only wanted him to buy the necklace for her. There was no way she was inferior to Natalie.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The couple debated for a while in the jewelry store. Left with no choice, Rowan spent over ten million dollars to buy the diamond necklace for Imogen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the other end of the mall, Natalie had made some effort to disguise herself by wearing sunglasses and a mask Holding her phone, she took photos of Rowan and Imogen acting intimately in the store.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After they left, Natalie went into the jewelry store.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHi, miss. How can I help you?\u201d the sales assistant greeted warmly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m the secretary of the man earlier. He told me to get a receipt for the jewelry so that he could claim it from the company,\u201d Natalie explained to the sales assistant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I\u2019ve already given them the receipt.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy boss said the receipt you gave him was for his girlfriend. He needs another copy to claim from the company,\u201d Natalie pressed on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing that the sales assistant wasn\u2019t responding, Natalie added, \u201cMy boss is the biggest customer here. Do you want to offend him?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course not. Please wait a moment. I\u2019ll get the receipt now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After getting the receipt, Natalie glanced at the information on the computer screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, outside the jewelry store, a few young men clad in suits walked past. The man leading the group stopped in his tracks, staring at the figure inside the store.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Behind him, his assistant was reporting to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
