Chapter 118: On a Shopping Spree Without Looking at the Price Tags
After a long and fiery battle with Calix, Leslie emerged victoriously. Despite winning the fight, she couldn’t help but think that she was still the loser instead of him.
"...ten new outfits are too much ah. Can’t I just pick three?" asked an exhausted Leslie after coming out of the changing booth, wearing a light yellow spring dress.
Leslie had lost count of the number of clothes she was pushed to try by Calix. Even though she didn’t wear every single clothes hanging on the racks, the amount was still huge.
Initially, Calix told Leslie she had to choose at least fifty clothes among the ones brought in by Mrs. Wei. Having a headache, she tried to lower the number.
After several times haggling with Calix, Leslie managed to reduce the number from fifty to ten. CEO Xu suddenly became domineering, urging her to pick not only the blouses, skirts and pants but, the matching accessories as well.
Calix sat on the couch opposite the booth, crossing his long legs. Scoffing, he sharpened his eyes.
"I’ll tell Mrs. Wei to ring everything up."
Leslie winced. Irritated by him, she complained, "CEO Xu, don’t shove your wealth to my face ah. A soul like me doesn’t need many clothes."
"You can wear them frequently once you wake up," Calix shrugged, tilting his head, "For sure, wear them during our trip. Indulge yourself in the vacation, won’t you?"
In the seven days of the trip, Calix would only be busy in the first four days. He planned to finish his business before night came just so he could take Leslie sightseeing. For the last three days, his schedule wouldn’t be so packed.
"...won’t the staff question why you bring women’s clothes there?" Leslie came up with another excuse, "Calix, what if people think you’re seeing a mistress when your new wife is still in a coma?"
