Chapter 774 Affordable Clothing
Skylar and Mackayla chatted the entire afternoon. When it was time to pay the bill for their meal, Skylar tried to foot the bill. However, Mackayla stopped her and uttered, “I was the one who invited you out for a meal. How could I let you pay?”
Skylar had to admit that she was slightly pretentious for wanting to keep up appearances. Even when she had no money, she tried to foot the bill when her friends invited her for a meal. She felt uneasy about accepting others' generosity.
Only when she went out to eat with Tobias did she not feel the need to pretend. Initially, she felt embarrassed and burdened but gradually felt at ease as Tobias refused to let her spend a single cent.
Skylar looked at the bill. They had spent about seven thousand for one meal. She was afraid she would go bankrupt if they kept eating like this.
Her grandmother once told her that the amount of food one could eat and the blessings one could receive were limited in one's lifetime. One's life would end once they reached a certain point.
Despite Mackayla's offer, Skylar still paid the bill with her credit card, and Tobias' card remained safely in her pocket. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Mackayla didn't want to argue with Skylar, so she compromised and said, “All right. I guess it has to be this way. I'll treat you next time!”
At this moment, her phone rang. The ringtone was an old-fashioned children's song, “Three Brown Bears.” Paired with her pink rabbit phone case, it gave her a cute and feminine vibe.
“Okay. I just finished my meal. Where are you waiting for me? I'll come over as soon as possible.”
Skylar initially wanted to go shopping with Mackayla and buy a few sets of pajamas. Her silk nightgowns had all been torn apart by Tobias.
He was too lazy to remove her clothes and simply tore them apart.
Upon hearing Mackayla had other plans, Skylar said, “You should go ahead. I'll shop around and go back later.”
Mackayla hit her head lightly and responded, “I'm sorry. I forgot I made plans with Grace to help her boyfriend choose a bag.”
Skylar felt a sense of familiarity upon hearing Grace's name. She seemed to have heard it recently, and it didn't appear to be from the internet.
After Mackayla left, Skylar suddenly recalled that Grace was Jeremy's girlfriend.
Jeremy is truly fortunate. Any girl he dates is willing to spend money on him.
Before Mackayla left, she didn't forget to criticize Grace to Skylar. She claimed Grace was a hopeless romantic who was jeopardizing her career by dating someone outside the industry. Furthermore, she appeared to have no regrets. There was no telling what would happen if her manager found out.
It was the most critical period for Grace because the next round of trainee evaluations was approaching.
Yet, Grace was still immersed in her romance. Mackayla even accompanied her a few days ago to buy underwear for her boyfriend.
Mackayla had told her many times to stop spending money on her boyfriend.
However, Grace was well-off and generous, spending over a thousand just on her boyfriend's underwear. Mackayla wanted to ask if her boyfriend could finish wearing all of them.
Grace, holding the underwear in the store, simply responded, “He can throw them away after wearing them. My boyfriend is in poor health. I don't want him to be too tired.”
It was the first time Mackayla had heard that washing underwear was a laborious task. It wasn't even a physically demanding task.
Even though Skylar was wearing sunglasses, people still recognized her. Many people stopped her to ask if she was Skylar after she browsed through two floors.
Skylar didn't answer them. After wandering around for a while, she finally found a store that sold pajamas.
Skylar noticed Saorise's photo displayed behind the floor-to-ceiling glass storefront right before she entered. It was then that she realized Saorise was the ambassador for this brand. Skylar immediately knew the pajamas were expensive since Saorise was the brand ambassador, and it was also evident from the store's interior design.
She felt a more affordable brand, such as Zara, was more suitable for her.
