They chatted for a few minutes more, and then Leslie dragged Crystal back into the mall to find a birthday present for Nathan.
The couple wandered through boutiques and clothing stores, and people turned to check Leslie out wherever they went. With her new hairstyle, she really was as beautiful as Crystal had said she was.
As they searched for a gift for Nathan, Leslie bought many things for herself, and each time she brought an item to the cashier, she insisted that Crystal pay with Nathan's credit card. She had become such a high spender in no time at all that several store managers were following them around.
Crystal was unhappy with her friend's behavior, and she said, "Leslie, are you going to empty the whole mall?"
Leslie: "When I buy gifts for Nathan, I'm actually buying gifts for myself, and I use his money. Smart, right? What are you going to get him?"
