"A piece of clothing might be valuable to others, but to me, it's like having a meal. And since this is my turf, letting a celebrity spend money here would mean I'm failing as a fan."
Mason Nightshade said, seeing she wanted to speak, he didn't give her a chance to refuse and directly asked, "You can only use a credit card here. Are you saying Miss Shaw has a credit card?"
Mason was clearly making things difficult for her.
Knowing full well she didn't have one.
She hadn't been back in the country for half a year, let alone had time to get a credit card. Clara Yates wouldn't let her have one, and the only one...
was the one he had given her after their marriage.
The sales assistant, receiving a signal from the CEO, entered the changing room, packed the clothes Aurelia Shaw wore when she came, handed them to her, and astutely said, "Miss Shaw, your clothes are packed. Once sold, our shop doesn't accept returns."
"..." Was the boss and employee teaming up to "force" her to accept?
Given for free, why not take it?
Besides, he was nominally her husband, owed her so much, asking for a single piece of clothing wasn't unfair.
Aurelia smiled as she accepted, catching a glimpse of Mason wanting to speak, she took the lead and spoke first, stopping his words, "Sir, thank you for the clothes, but I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
Aurelia turned and left.
Mason could only watch her walk away, not showing it on his face, but his fingers at his side were subtly clenched, using all his restraint, he managed not to chase after her.
Buzz—
After ending the call with Grayson, Mason called Junia Simpson.
Without waiting for the other to speak, he said in a deep voice, "Has your efficiency dropped to this level? If without Grayson's task, I don't mind personally issuing another order."
"..."
How did Grayson manage to anger Brother Yu?
"I understand, I'll arrange it immediately."
In a hurry, Aurelia found herself still wearing the same lotus-colored two-piece. She exhaled, checked the time—it was nearly six o'clock—and asked Amanda Fuller to drive to the location where they had an appointment with Sawyer.
"I really didn't expect to run into President Ye." Amanda Fuller said while driving.
Feeling the cold gaze from behind fixing on her, a bead of sweat appeared on her forehead as she swallowed and dared not continue.
"Did you intentionally call Mason here?" Aurelia asked.
Amanda Fuller immediately raised three fingers to declare her loyalty, "I swear, it wasn't me! Although I do want you two to reconcile, I would never betray you! It was President Ye who happened to see me walking by, I… I didn't have time to hide."
She really hadn't had time to hide, though secretly speaking, she didn't want to hide either.
Aurelia thought about it and knew Amanda Fuller wouldn't do such a thing, thought of something, and took out her phone to call Viscount Zhou.
"Finally thought of me again?" An insincere voice sounded, Viscount Zhou feigned grievance, "Little Aurelia, you've been neglecting me for a long time. It's easy for me to assume you're a heartless cad who uses me and discards me."
