Chương 14: Chapter 12. Saving each other
The weather was getting hotter for the two women standing outside the mall.
"Ugh! I can't believe you are ditching me. We just got here" the woman stated with obvious disappointment. She and her friend decided to go shopping but was interrupted when her friend's father called her to go home.
"Sorry, Amanda. I also wanted to shop, but father---"
"Hep! Forget it. Go home. But make sure you won't ditch me next time" her friend immediately smile and nod. "I promise"
Her friend said her farewell and drove off. Since she didn't drive by her car, she would be forced to hail a cab. She had no choice but to go shopping by herself.
"Tss. It's boring to shop alone---" she was cutted off by the scene before her. There's a couple who were laughing. The sound of them laughing seems like they are mocking the guy in front of them.
She continues to watch but the guy doesn't seem to have the courage to speak. She shook her head and went straight at them. She didn't know what she was doing, but the thought of the vixen reminds her of her past lover.
She cling to the man without a second thought and exchange words with the vixen. She didn't like women like the one in front of her.
"Tss. Whatever. Don't say i didn't warn you. That poor peasant would only make you suffer"
After the couple walked away, the woman faced Jared. She looked at the man in front of her. He was good-looking---no, super-duper attractive. His charm is on another level.
"You're welcome" she said sarcastically after examining Jared who was quietly looking at her.
Jared spoke with a short reply, "Thanks"
"Don't think anything, i just helped you since you are pitiful" she sneered but Jared just laugh.
"Thank you. In return, what do you want to do? I should repay you for saving me"
The woman eyes Jared from head to toe. Attractive face, but nothing valuable in his possession.
"I need a chaperone, would you mind?" She said with her brow raised on the corner.
Jared smile in amusement and didn't want to dive in to deeply and agreed. "Sure. Lead the way"
The woman walk with grace with Jared following her from behind. They entered the Hermòs store. The saleslady immediately tends to Amanda and Jared.
"Welcome to Hermòs"
Amanda walked across the store, eyes wander across the luxury bags lined up from the long counter to the wall. Hermós is one of the famous brands of bags and scarves.
Jared, who don't fancy some items for women was sitting on the couch, scrolling through his phone. It's been only five minutes since they enter but Jared starting to feel the boredom.
"What did you say?!"
The sound of voice made Jared tilted his head and looked at the woman he was with. There was a couple in front of her with a mocking face. They seem to be arguing.
"What? I touched it first so it's mine"
"Ha! Shameless!"
Jared straightened his back and leans on the couch. Deja Vu. He had the same experience just a while ago, and now it's hers.
"Did you follow me here? We broke up. Stop pretending that it was a coincidence"
Jared nodded his head. It seems like the situation reversed. It would be a shame not to help her. She helped him ditched Selena, why not help her in return.
While the three are engaging in a heated conversation, his eyes travelled across the store and stopped at one specific bag. Women like shiny things.
He waved his hand to the saleslady who immediately walked towards him. He took out the Black card which stunned the saleslady. He pointed at the gold bag, "give me that" without hesitation or even asking the price.
The saleslady immediately went on and carefully handed the bag to Jared.
"This is our stunning collection of handbag-inspired jewelry priced 2 million. This Hermòs Rose Gold bag is crafted from rose gold inlaid with 2,714 diamonds. The bag's top flap is skilfully manipulated to imitate crocodile skin. This bag is seen as more of a piece of jewelry than a bag"
The saleslady felt a sense of delight and wanted more. Seeing the man in front of her didn't flinch, she went on and obviously wanted to get a higher commision. "We also have scarf that will go well with the bag. Would you like to take a look?"
Jared tilted his head on the smiling saleslady. This saleslady knows how to read people.
"Sure. Make sure it will go well with this"
The saleslady instantly went to Jared and presented him with a Rose Gold scarf. Jared doesn't feel anything because it is not his thing and he is not interested. He handed the card to the saleslady, who instantly punched the total amount.
He stood up walked towards the three who are clearly not in good terms.
"There you are" Jared held Amanda's waist, making her flinched for a second. Jared handed her the bag which made the three of them looking at Jared in surprised.
"T-that's the Rose Gold handbag that cost 2 million" the woman stutter at the sight of the bag. She wanted her boyfriend which was Amanda's ex-boyfriend to buy her that bag but it was too pricey, but the bag was in her enemy's hand.
Unbelievable.
"U-uhm---" before she could process the shock, Jared handed her the scarf.
She was not ignorant. The bag cost 2 million and the scarf cost about 1 million.
"Psh! Poser. Are you able to afford that bag? Where did you even get this poser from? No matter what game you play, i will never go back to you" the man arrogantly said towards Amanda.
Amanda's face turned sour but it immediately changed when Jared pulled her waist. He smiled at the two couple who reminds him from earlier experience. "I can afford, what about you? Can you buy something worth more than a million to give to your girl? I doubt that would be possible" he said taunting, with the smirk on his face.
Amanda, who was watching Jared, couldn't help but wonder what he was doing: playing a noveu rich face-slapping reality show. In her opinion, she couldn't see any rationale for Jared's actions. She had no idea why he was handing her a million-dollar bag or whether he was even allowed to handle it.
"Tss. Really? You don't look rich. Can you really afford---" the woman's words was cutted off by the saleslady who approached and handed the Black card to Jared.
Amanda, who was still shocked, couldn't help but was stunned when she saw the famous Black card limited to those who have at least a hundred million worth of deposit.
"Sir. That would be 3,200,000. Thank you for your purchase"
"Pack this up, my girlfriend wants these" he added without hesitation and slipped the card directly inside his pocket. The three, with their mouths gape and eyes widen, was unable to stop staring at Jared.
The watch in his wrist didn't escape from the watchful eyes of the man in front of him.
'the f*ck! How could someone like him afford the watch worth 9 million!'
'argh! Hateful! How could that b*tch have the best of luck! That bag should've been mine! Mine!'
The hateful thoughts and chest filled with hatred began to rush from the two. They couldn't help but feel jealous and embarrassed. The thoughts of humiliating Amanda was like a boomerang who went around and hit them back.
"If you don't have the money to spend on your woman, why enter the store only to feast your eyes" Jared said then eyed the man in front of him and continue, "i may not look wealthy, but i made sure my girlfriend could get the things she wanted...unlike someone"
His remarks struck both of them. The reality hit them hard and cold. Even after stealing the man from her rival, she couldn't achieve what she desired, whilst the man flaunted his wealthy appearance but couldn't afford to buy millions worth of luxury stuff. Both are speechless and defeated.
Jared pulled Amanda out of the store while his other hand was holding the bag. He felt relieved and satisfied.
While Jared smiled from ear to ear, Amanda remained stunned and let him to take her away. They enter the store so Jared can choose his clothes. Amanda couldn't open his mouth while Jared picked out his clothes without looking at the tag. The crisp sound of the successful transaction prevents her from saying a word.
'how wealthy could he be?'
They stopped at Patekk Phil to pick up his items and drop off his address before heading directly to the parking lot. Amanda's heart pounded continuously. She couldn't open her mouth and speak after all the brainstorming experience.
Jared, who was placing his items inside the car, couldn't help but wonder why the woman beside her was so quiet.
"Should i take you home?"
Amanda immediately shook her head. That would've been shameless if she hop in after buying her an items. She didn't even know what she's gotten into.
"Okay. Be careful" Jared drove off, leaving Amanda standing rooted on her spot. A few seconds later, realization hits her hard.
'the f*ck! We didn't even exchange names!"
