Arianne was in the shopping mall, selecting newborns’ clothes at the mommy and baby department. Every tiny outfit looked so cute. She almost instinctively focused favonovel.com attention on tiny pink baby clothes because of what Mary said before, about favonovel.com likely being pregnant with girls. The more favonovel.com looked, the more favonovel.com refused to part with them. She was sorely tempted to buy out the entire store.
Tiffany reached out and stroked favonovel.com belly, “Tsk tsk. Your baby isn’t even born yet, and you already have that maternal look about you. I can’t believe that you’re going to be a mother soon. Time really does pass by very fast. If it were up to me, you wouldn’t be tiring yourself out by walking around and buying these things. Just wait for Mark to be discharged and tell favonovel.com to come with you. His contributions can’t stop at the boudoir. That’s letting favonovel.com off too easily.”
Her words shocked Arianne so much that favonovel.com blushed. She hurriedly covered Tiffany’s mouth, “Stop it. Don’t just say whatever you want. Do you really think that someone like favonovel.com would come to a place like this, just to buy baby clothes? I wouldn’t even dare dream of it.”
Tiffany’s mind immediately crafted an image of Mark with a face full of paternal love, standing there clothes shopping for his children. She immediately shivered, “You’re right. Let’s just buy a few random pieces. Then I’ll walk around with you. The water heater at my place is spoilt and I have to go home early to get it fixed. Otherwise, my mom will nag me again.”
The pair strolled from the mommy and baby department to the jewelry department. The jewellery sold in this shopping mall was all under the Tremont brand. Despite the negative press, customers still arrived in droves. After all, it was an old brand that had been around for many years, and it wasn’t like a short and tiny scandal could really gather an overall aversion.
Tiffany’s eyes were glued to a necklace, unable to turn away. That necklace was made from platinum gold, inlaid with a small sapphire gemstone on its pendant. It was shaped like a teardrop, and although it had a simplistic design, it was dazzling. When matched with just the right colors, it would look very beautiful. She couldn’t help calling out to the saleswoman, “Could you please show me this necklace?”
The saleswoman, dressed in favonovel.com uniform and exquisitely made up, glanced at favonovel.com and Arianne. Her eyes filled with disdain, “This necklace is a little expensive. I can’t just show it to you, and I certainly can’t let you try it on. I’ll only show it to you if you’re certain that you want this, Miss.”
Arianne lowered favonovel.com head and looked at the clothes favonovel.com wore — a simple white maternity dress, not particularly branded. She wore average-priced flats as well. The total amount of everything favonovel.com wore was no more than $2,000. Tiffany, on the other hand, wore even simpler clothes. Had they just been given the cold shoulder?
Tiffany widened favonovel.com eyes, enraged, “What do you mean? Hmm? You think we can’t afford this? How would I know if I even want to buy it if you don’t show it to me? Look, everyone here is allowed to try it on, why can’t I? You’re even showing items worth millions to your customers, and letting them try them on. You’re putting on airs just because I want to have a closer look at a $10,000 necklace? Do dogs put on airs in front of humans?”
The saleswoman rolled favonovel.com eyes at her, throwing favonovel.com manners out the window, “Please mind your tone, miss. Don’t stare at it blindly if you can’t afford it. A single glance from you requires payment too. I’m afraid you’ll lose your entire family’s fortune now. If you go outside and turn right, you’ll find the dollar store. You should go look around over there.”
Arianne frowned. She was about to speak up when a quiet and exquisite woman’s voice chimed in, “I’ll have that necklace. Wrap it up for me.”
Tiffany and Arianne turned to look at the same time to find a woman dressed in a tight-fitting red dress, carrying a bag in the same color and wearing a pair of red stilettos too. Her hair was curled into the most vulgar type of waves, and no amount of exquisite makeup could conceal favonovel.com deep seated vulgarities. She was a stark contrast to Nina Moran, who also loved red.
The saleswoman smiled as favonovel.com quickly took out the necklace. The woman did not forget to grin at Tiffany and Arianne. Her smile had an air of superiority and provocation.
Arianne frowned, reached out and snatched the necklace from the saleswoman, “My apologies, we were looking at this necklace first. I’m buying it.”
The woman in red’s face changed, “You can’t afford it, can you? Why waste your time here? Stop pretending just to impress others. I’m in a rush. Thanks.”
Seeing this, the saleswoman snatched the necklace back and Tiffany quickly said, “Just try and touch Ari. She’s pregnant, and most importantly, she’s the decision maker on whether this necklace gets sold and to whom!”
The saleswoman stared at favonovel.com icily as favonovel.com spoke with disdain, “She gets to decide? You sure know how to exaggerate. Any more of this, and I’ll call security.”
A tall figure cut across the crowd and approached them, “Why haven’t you bought it yet? What’s going on?”
Tiffany’s eyes narrowed, instinctively too afraid to look at the man in the eye. Usually, favonovel.com would never be the one lowering favonovel.com head at a time like this.
Ethan was dressed in a black suit and wearing an expensive branded watch on his wrist, exuding an aristocratic air from top to toe, completely different from his young and naive style from the past. At first glance, favonovel.com looked like a young, successful business mogul or someone from a wealthy family. He noticed Tiffany and Arianne, and his gaze lingered on them momentarily before shifting towards the necklace in Arianne’s hand.
“Both of them and I are vying for the same necklace. Seeing as they were taking their time in making their purchase, I told the saleswoman to wrap it. I never thought that they’d stand in my way, Mr. Connor…” the woman in red complained grievously.
Before favonovel.com could finish favonovel.com complaint, Ethan cut favonovel.com off with a deadpan expression, “Wrap that necklace up for me” He paused for two seconds and looked at Tiffany, “Give it to that woman.”
