Chapter 54 Go See a Doctor
“Hah!” Chloe could not help but laugh.
She gave Ava a meaningful look from head to toe, admiring how the latter’s face. changed from white to red. With a confident stride, she approached the mirror, twirled around, and asked the salesperson, “Does this dress suit me?”
The salesperson excelled in flattery, particularly when in the presence of such a stunning individual. She showered Chloe with a plethora of compliments without hesitation.
“Okay, let’s swipe the card,” Chloe said.
“Do you want one or two?” the salesperson asked.
“I only want to wear the one on me,” Chloe replied, “I don’t like the other one.”
The salesperson hastily turned to ask Ava, “This lady only wants to buy one. Do you still want the dress?”
Ava bit her lip fiercely. Why should she get the things that Chloe did not want?
She glared at the salesperson and stormed back into the fitting room to change. After that, she left the store without another word.
Melody was stunned and shouted, “Ava, where are you going?!”
“Hey, is she not buying it?” Chloe took the shopping bag from the salesperson and said, “Doesn’t seem like it. Hey Melody, since you like this dress so much, why don’t you try it on?”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Melody’s figure was even worse than Ava’s, so she definitely would not look good in the dress. She cursed Chloe under her breath and ran out to catch up with Ava.
Unexpectedly, she bumped into Joseph, who was returning from the restroom, as soon as she stepped out of the door.
Joseph stared at the foundation mark on his shirt and frowned.
However, Melody was slow at reading the atmosphere. The man in front of her had a cold and stern face. His eyes were some of the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen, and there was a regal air about him.
Melody’s eyes glowed and she said bashfully, “I’m sorry.”
Joseph wanted to find Chloe as soon as possible and did not wish to talk to Melody. He withdrew his gaze and walked away.
Melody was reluctant to let him go and caught up with him, saying in an apologetic tone, “Sir, I dirtied your clothes. Leave me your number. I’ll compensate you with a new one.”
“No need.”
“It’s okay. My family is very rich. You don’t have to feel embarrassed.”
“If there’s something wrong with your head, go see a doctor,” Joseph said impatiently and turned his head. “Understand?”
His voice was bereft of emotion, and Melody stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
Joseph did not bother to pay attention to her and strode away, quickly disappearing from her sight.
Chloe did not see Joseph when she came out so she gave him a call. They decided to meet at a restaurant on the fifth floor.
After ordering, Joseph questioned Chloe, “Was it really that difficult to wait for me for a few minutes?”
It had taken him a long time to find her.
Chloe nervously played with her bangs and admitted, “I went to buy a dress and spent 70,000 dollars.”
She carefully observed his expression after she had finished speaking.
When Joseph heard this, he raised an eyebrow and asked, “You bought only one dress?”
“Um…I know it’s a bit…” She hesitated, but he cut her off before she could utter the word “expensive.”
“You should buy more. It’s almost time for a change of season.”
Chloe straightened her posture, blinked several times, and stared at him fixedly.
Joseph’s eyebrows rose even higher. “Do you want me to accompany you to buy more clothes?”
“No, no, no!” She quickly shook her head. It was too much to ask him to accompany her after she had already spent 70,000 dollars.
She reminded herself that one should be content with what they have.
Chloe secretly breathed a sigh of relief and tried to please him with a smile. “Jojo, has there been anything you wanted to eat recently? I’m not busy with work, so I can cook for you.”
Joseph’s eyes filled with satisfaction and he said, “I’ll make a list for you when we get back.”
“…Okay,” Chloe replied.
She could not help but feel that she had set a trap for herself.
Looking at the food in front of him, Joseph frowned and asked, “What did you order?”
