Chapter 1250: Back in - 22
"Nina, did you have fun today?" Penny looked at Nina in the backseat, smiling. "The dress was really good, right?"
"Mhm." Nina blushed, thinking about the dress and its cost.
Penny and Lily had wanted to pay for it, but Nina refused. After seeing the price, she asked to reserve it instead. It was beautiful, and surprisingly, not that expensive—something she could afford on her own.
After that, the ladies spent the rest of the day together. Their meetup had been spontaneous, but it was fun nonetheless. Now, Penny was offering to drop Nina off on their way home.
"Nina, how come you’re the one paying for the wedding dress?" Penny asked curiously. "I understand not wanting us to buy it for you, but isn’t it only right for Finn to pay? He’s the groom—it’s his responsibility."
"Finn and I already talked about it. He’s handling the venue, food, and most of the expenses. I don’t want him to pay for something I’ll wear."
"But..."
"Penny," Nina interjected. "Please don’t try to talk me out of this."
"Oh, that’s not what I meant." Penny waved her hand dismissively. "But tell me this—do you think Finn Davis is poor?"
"Hmm?"
"Nina, Finn’s family is on the Fortune 500 list. Aside from the subsidiary he signed with Pierson Corporation, their business is massive, especially internationally." Penny studied Nina’s face, wondering if she was unaware. "He wouldn’t care how much the dress costs—he’d pay for it without a second thought."
"I know, Penny." Nina sighed. "I know the Davis family is wealthy, and that Finn could afford a grand wedding. But... that’s exactly the point."
