Chapter: 167: As a form of bribery
“So strict.” said Serena.
Hearing this, Anna could not help but roll her eyes, “Come on, think of how the Ferrari family becomes the largest group in the North City. Just because of that. People come here and buy the best and original things.”
Serena: “That’s why just one month’s profit already comes to tens of millions, and it was also an off-season month…”
“What, did you say tens of millions of profit?”
“No, nothing.” Serena quickly asked, “Let’s go look in that store. By the way, things here are all expensive. Do you really want to spend all that money on a dress? Just to attend the banquet?”
Serena remembered the dress she had ruined long ago. The clerk told her that that dress was worth more than 300, 000 euros. To buy a dress worth tens of thousands just to attend an event, these people… they were really rich.
“It’s okay for me to spend that money to attend a banquet. It’s worth it. Besides, if young girls don’t make themselves beautiful at this age, and when will they? It would remain a lifelong regret.”
They entered a store where Anna was very knowledgeable. She quickly explained her requests, “Excuse me, my friend and I want to look for clothes on 5000 euros, with a chic design and somewhat bright colors, thank you.”
The saleswoman showed no sign of contempt when she heard their budget. She immediately lead them to a small area.
“Hello, ladies, in this area you could find the clothes you are looking for. You could have a look at the patterns. Next door is the fitting room. Please feel free to ask me if you have any questions.”
“All right, thank you. Let’s have a look first.”
The saleswoman left. Anna smiled and said, “See? Even the saleswoman are specially trained and are very courteous.”
Serena remained silent. Why hadn’t she met such a polite clerk last time? People were just different. There were good ones and bad ones. However now that clerk should have changed.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
“Serena, come and have a look at this dress. This blue one looks very suitable for you.”
Serena smiled a little stiffly, “I don’t buy it. Just buy it for yourself.”
Anna stared at her, “Why? Don’t you want to participate?”
“No.” said Serena who was not interested in such an event.
She could neither afford a dress nor wanted to show off.
She preferred to stay in the company or go home.
“If you’re not attending, what’s the point of me attending alone?” Anna was not very happy about the news.
Serena gave a smile, “It’s not like we are the same. You are so pretty and so energetic. If you participate in it, maybe you will really find your prince charming.”
When she heard “prince charming,” Anna’s mood returned as before.
“All right, then wait a minute. I’ll go try on the dress.”
As Anna went to the dressing room, Serena found a place to sit and arranged her notes. Every now and then Anna went to her to ask how the dress looked on her. She was a girl with a good figure, a nice complexion, and was very pretty. For Serena, every dress she tried on looked good on her.
When they finally came out of the mall, they met Leonardo.
“It’s Mr. Leonardo!” Anna grabbed Serena by the sleeve with excitement, “I really didn’t expect to meet him here! Here, he is coming here!”
Serena suddenly became nervous. Leonardo?
As soon as she raised her head, Serena saw Leonardo walking towards them with a steady step. He always had a gentle smile on his face, looking very friendly like a gentleman.
“How come you are here?” asked Leonardo. His gaze fell on Serena’s face.
Serena felt embarrassed to meet him again. After the last time he gave her the card of 300, 000 euros , Serena felt indebted to him and wanted to avoid him even more. The only thing she wanted to do was to earn the money as soon as possible so she could return it to Leonardo and feel less indebted.
Anna replied, “We came to buy clothes, and why are you here?”
Leonardo smiled, “I also came to buy things. I see you have finished shopping. Where are you going. Shall I accompany you?”
“All right, if we don’t disturb you, we are just on our way home.”
“No bother.”
Anna went to Leonardo’s car together with Serena, but Serena did not move. She just stood still. Anna turned around with a questioning expression.
“I still have things to do. Mr. Leonardo, you can take Anna home first. I will come back alone later.”
Anna opened her eyes wide and looked at her in disbelief. With that look in her eyes, she seemed to ask her what was going on? It was such a good opportunity and she didn’t want to appreciate it!
Leonardo looked a little disappointed, but said nothing.
Anna, on the other hand, could not help but ask, “What are you up to? Why didn’t you say when I was trying on clothes? What’s important to do now?”
Serena: “I really have to go. I just suddenly remembered.”
She wasn’t lying about that. She had remembered just then.
“Really?” Anna stared at her suspiciously.
Serena was getting more and more embarrassed, “Really, I really have things to do. You go first.”
After she finished speaking, Serena turned and left without hesitation.
Anna stared at her back, “What’s wrong with her?”
Then she turned around and saw Leonardo’s gaze always looking at Serena until she disappeared.
“Mr. Leonardo, did you and Serena know each other before? What is there between you?” She asked curiously.
Leonardo smiled, “Didn’t you want to go home? Come on, I’ll take you.”
Anna: “Anyone would understand that you actually didn’t want to accompany me. I’m just on the way. But now that the person you really want to accompany is gone, I really don’t dare to get into your car.”
“Never mind, you are her friend. I can still accompany you.”
Hearing those meaningful words, Anna tilted her head and asked, “Mr. Leonardo, do you like Serena?”
Leonardo smiled but replied.
“Did I really guess right? Do you really like Serena? But she…” Obviously, it seemed that she didn’t like him. Then he were rejected by her?
“Let’s go.” Leonardo did not answer her question, but did not deny her statement either. He turned around and walked toward the parking lot.
As she followed him, she asked, “Mr. Leonardo, do you really like Serena? Do you want me to call her to come back? If she would not get in the car with me, it will be awkward for me to get in it alone!”
“It’s okay.” Leonardo turned around, “Consider this as a form of bribery.”
