Chapter 191: Money laundering
The tea was really refreshing, or was it the thought of the money Abrielle was diverting off? The dear princess didn’t know which, but she was in a pleasant mood either way.
She placed her cup on the table and then picked up one of her pastries for a bite while casually waiting for the sales representative to come back.
Evelyn was more puzzled and sensed something truly fishy about this but was not in the place to question Abrielle. She did hear about a couple of noble ladies who find pleasure in spending recklessly on clothes and jewellery; the list goes on. They sold the lie that it was made by a world-class artisan.
What did she expect? After all, Abrielle was infamously known to be spoilt by her parents as the only child.
Time drew and Abrielle was getting bored wondering how long it was going to take for the amount to be calculated. She started humming an old song to help with the boredom.
It was moments like this when she missed her phone. Sigh, that was all in the past. Just when the princess was about to get bored out of her head, the door creaked open, and two people came in. It was the sales representative and an older man.
"I am sorry it took a while; the items you are purchasing cost a fortune, so I needed help to get it right." The sales representative said with a polite bow apologizing to the princess.
"You are here now, that is what matters." Abrielle chimed with a gentle smile. The sales representative’s tensed face and cold sweats eased off. She was nervous Abrielle would be offended. A lot of wealthy people lacked something called patience; well, to them, time is money.
"I am glad the princess is not offended. This is Mr Winters our head accountant. He is going to help the princess with the paperwork to process the payment." The sales representative explained passing on the bill to Abrielle. The total cost of the jewellery Abrielle had chosen.
