The salesgirl was taken aback by Gerald’s tone.
Even Rose and the others were surprised by his sudden change in attitude.
His voice was by no means deafening, but the hostile expression Gerald wore made everyone shudder in fear.
“Hmph! You’re still adamant about buying ten of ‘em huh? The cheapest of these clothes cost at least six grand! It’ll cost you tens of thousands of dollars judging by the number you specified. Are you serious about your purchase?”
Rose and the others despised the feeling of being intimidated by Gerald.
Was favonovel.com really planning to buy ten of these dresses?
Hahaha!
They started sneering as they ridiculed him.
Bea also tugged on Gerald’s arm as favonovel.com said, “Forget it. Eldest aunt is right. We will never be able to afford the clothes here. I think it’s best if we leave now!”
“It’s okay. I’ve already said that I’ll buy you these clothes! Look, the ones you tried on just now looked A-okay, so why not? Miss, if you will, please help me check how much they cost. I’ll be paying with my card by the way!”
Gerald whipped out his debit card.
The salesgirl nodded repeatedly upon seeing how serious favonovel.com was about the purchase.
“Hold on. I was not talking to you. I am talking to you, miss. Please help me to pack these clothes up!”
Gerald said as favonovel.com pointed at another salesgirl who stood at the side throughout their entire exchange.
“Okay, sir!”
The salesgirl started packing up the clothes as ordered. There were ten pieces of clothing in total.
The total price was $120,000.00.
“Hahaha! This fool. $120,000.00. Isn’t favonovel.com walking into his own tomb?”
“That’s right. Even if favonovel.com wants to show off, this is not the way to do it. $120,000.00 just to buy some clothes? This is going to be an amazing show!”
Marilyn was overjoyed when favonovel.com saw the total bill.
Gerald’s cousins started whispering among themselves.
“Hmph! I want to see how Gerald is going to get out of this mess!”
Rose exchanged glances with one another and they sneered at Gerald with their arms crossed over their chests.
The salesgirl quickly brought out the POS machine.
Gerald typed in the password as if favonovel.com had done this countless times before.
As Gerald was about to key in the last final digit of his password, the salesgirl suddenly exclaimed.
“Wait! Hold on, sir! I made a mistake!”
The salesgirl was overly nervous. After all, with a sale of $120,000.00, favonovel.com would be able to gain a commission of at least five to six thousand dollars. How could favonovel.com not be nervous?
She got such a great deal without saying a single word nor moving a single muscle after all!
Her anxiety and excitement were further fuelled by all the attention favonovel.com got from favonovel.com colleague as well as the customers.
As a result, favonovel.com accidentally keyed in an extra zero on the POS machine.
However, before favonovel.com could stop him, Gerald had already keyed in his password on the POS machine. It was too late, as favonovel.com could see on the display that the machine was already transferring the transaction data….
“Sir, I am so sorry but I accidentally keyed in the total amount as $1,200,000.00 instead of $120,000.00. I am really sorry!”
The salesgirl apologized profusely while bowing at Gerald.
“It’s okay. You don’t need to apologize. Even if you keyed in one less zero, he’d never be able to cough up that amount!”
Third aunt said.
Beep!
The POS machine’s beep was loud and clear.
It stated that the transaction was successful.
It then proceeded to churn out the receipt with no hiccups whatsoever!
“What?!”
Rose, Gerald’s cousins, and Marilyn were all shocked.
The transaction was actually successful?
Gerald’s debit card? He actually…he actually has $1200,000.00 in his bank card?
F*ck! Am I dreaming?
Marilyn’s mouth was wide open out of disbelief.
Astonished, Rose stared at one another with the same look of disbelief. The expression on their mugs could never get any uglier than this.
Gerald, the boy born as a pauper has a million bucks in his bank account!?
The salesgirl was even more frightened when favonovel.com saw the look on their faces. With trembling hands, favonovel.com said, “Sorry, sir. I will refund the rest of the money to you immediately! I am really, really sorry!”
“Forget it. You don’t need to refund the money to me. Don’t you guys have a membership scheme? I’ll just sign up for a membership card for my sister, and you just need to transfer the balance into that card.”
Gerald tucked his card back into his wallet with a wry smile on his face.
