Mary didn’t react at first, but then she thought about what happened in the kitchen yesterday and understood it instantly. However, she didn’t expect Aurelia to send the meal she cooked to Mr. Finnegan!
Thinking of this possibility, Mary became anxious. “Mr. Finnegan, Mrs. Finnegan cooked a lot of dishes yesterday in order to make you a decent meal! Her hands were even burned several times by the splashing hot oil.”
Mary hoped Callum wouldn’t blame Aurelia for cooking that bad. Although it was indeed bad, Aurelia spent the whole afternoon cooking.
Burned by hot oil? All his anger vanished when Callum learned this.
“I see,” He responded calmly and started eating breakfast.
Mary was relieved to see that Callum had no intention of pursuing the matter, so she went back to work.
After lunch, Aurelia changed out of her pajamas and left the villa.
The three women, arm in arm, came out of the Dubhe building and entered the Merak building, wandering around.
“Aurelia, what do you want to buy?” Aurelia spent a long time walking around men’s clothing stores, shoe stores, and watch stores. If she didn’t want to buy anything, Liana would think she was looking for handsome guys.
Aurelia was also struggling. Though she had saved a lot of money, if she really wanted to buy something for Callum, her money was still far from enough. “I’m just taking a look.”
Cathy held Liana’s arm listlessly and rolled her eyes. “Aurelia, we’ve been walking around for two hours. And you’re still empty-handed.” Cathy and Liana had brought a lot of things, carrying many bags in their hands.
“I wonder if the other party can afford everything, what kind of gift should I give to such a person?” Aurelia said with a troubled look.
Aurelia kept saying it was for a friend of hers, but they didn’t believe it.
Liana rolled her eyes at Aurelia. “It’s not my birthday. Why do you suddenly want to give me a gift?”
Aurelia rolled her eyes at her. She couldn’t tell them that she had offended Callum several times, so she bought gifts to beg for his forgiveness, could she? “Come on. Tell me!” She speechlessly took the various skin care products and clothes from the two women.
Cathy felt instantly relieved and in a better mood. “Aurelia, it’s the thought that counts.”
Aurelia thought Cathy had a point. Suddenly, she knew what to buy!
She stuffed a few bags of skin care products and clothes back into Cathy and Liana’s hands and walked away.
“Hey, Aurelia, what’s wrong with you?” Liana looked at Aurelia’s back and followed her sulky.
Cathy looked at them with despair and caught up with them.
Aurelia remembered that she had seen a brocade box in the display cabinet just now, thinking that the things inside must be very exquisite. She found the store and walked in.
“Hello, welcome!” A clerk greeted her warmly upon seeing her coming in.
Aurelia smiled back at her and pointed to the brocade box in the display cabinet not far away. “Can I take a look at that?”
The salesperson immediately took it out for her, handed it to Aurelia, and started to introduce it. “This brocade box contains collar pins and brooches from the Sapphire series. Ma’am, you are buying it for your boyfriend, right? You really have a good taste. The brooches and collar pins in this series are limited edition collectibles.”
Sapphire… Aurelia took a quick look at the price. One hundred and eighty-eight thousand dollars!
She only had… less than 200, 000 dollars.
Gritting her teeth, Aurelia hesitated for a moment. When she was about to ask the salesperson to pack it up, she heard a familiar female voice coming from the side. “Pack the accessories I just saw.”
Evelyn? Aurelia ignored her and went straight to the cashier with the box, but was stopped by the salesperson.
Aurelia was astonished.
What? Was Evelyn interested in the same thing as her? When did Evelyn have such good taste?
As Evelyn saw Aurelia holding the brocade box that she had just set her eyes on, she immediately understood what Aurelia wanted to do.
“Aurelia, I’m so sorry, I wanted it first,” she said softly. Though it was too expensive for her, snatching the thing Aurelia liked made Evelyn feel good.
Cathy and Liana, who were following behind, finally caught up, and immediately started complaining when they saw Aurelia.
“Aurelia, why are you running so fast?” Cathy walked up to her, panting.
“Look, my fingers are hurt and all red from the handbag.” Liana pouted as she coquettishly showed Aurelia her fingers.
Aurelia ignored them and looked at Evelyn. “I l had my eye on this too. Ask the salesperson to find you another one!”
Cathy and Liana then noticed Evelyn, the self-proclaimed school belle in their school.
The salesperson felt embarrassed, saying “Ladies, I’m sorry. The set is a limited edition, and there is only one.” The store didn’t have much in stock.
When Aurelia heard this, she walked to the cashier without saying a word. She put the brocade box on the cashier and said domineeringly, “Check out!” She took out the bank card and handed it to the cashier.
Evelyn saw this, she ran over and grabbed the box. “Aurelia, I wanted this one first. You can pick another one!”
Liana got goose bumps all over her body as she heard Evelyn’s piercing voice. She looked at Evelyn, who was glaring at Aurelia, and said, “Evelyn, can you please speak properly? I have goose bumps.”
As soon as Liana finished speaking, several salespeople in the store couldn’t help but laugh secretly. Evelyn glared at Liana awkwardly. “Liana, this is none of your business. You’d better stay out of it.”
Liana curled up her lips when she heard this. Not only was Evelyn the self-proclaimed school beauty, she was also a “good student” who loved to expose others’ wrongdoings to the teacher. Liana didn’t give a damn about her.
Aurelia pulled Evelyn’s hand away and pushed her aside before saying, “You don’t really like it. Why did you want it? No one can take the thing I like away from me!” She domineeringly announced the ownership of the item!
Confronting the three of them alone would put Evelyn at a disadvantage. Upon realizing that, Evelyn bit her lip and took out her phone to call her boyfriend, intending to let him teach them a lesson.
“Virgil! Come to the boutique store on the third floor. I got picked on here!” Hearing Evelyn’s coquettish voice and seeing her acting cute made Aurelia get goose bumps.
So Evelyn was calling for help! However, Aurelia wasn’t afraid of her. “Check out!” The cashier hesitated when she saw this commotion and heard the name “Virgil”, the same name as the deputy general manager of the mall! If they were the same person, the cashier couldn’t afford to offend him.
