When She Stops Playing Nice (Hale Saxon)

CHAPTER 65

Chapter 65 The sales assistant thought, ‘So what if he’s the king of business? He still has to make his girlfriend happy!” The sales assistants couldn’t help but start discussing. “What a perfect match!” “I’m so envious. When will I ever get a sweet love like theirs?” “I can’t take it anymore. I’m going to be a hopeless romantic. I’ll go check out some criminal cases to calm down!” The staff’s discussion was neither loud nor soft, just enough for both Gina and Gabriel to hear. For some reason, Gina actually felt a little embarrassed. She thought, ‘But it seems that Gabriel is really eager to give me a gift. Gina nodded and said, “Alright. I can accept your gift.” She paused for a moment and added, “Since you gave me a gift, I’ll return a gift to you in the future.” Probably because she grew up in She an orphanage, she was not skilled at handling social relationships and worldly atta remembered that when she first returned to the Miller family’s home, members of the Miller family talked about her behind her back, saying she looked aloof and had no connection with them. Gina was at a loss when she heard this, feeling unsure of how to deal with this situation. She slowly began to learn the so- called ways of the world. She knew that if she wanted to treat others well, she had to make an effort. Therefore, she began to offer everything she could to the Miller family, which was her so-called family. She did not tell them what she had done. On one hand, it was because of certain aspects of her identity she couldn’t reveal On the other hand, she didn’t want them to feel like she was trying to please them. She thought. After all, we’re a family. It is only right to do things for family, right?” That was how Gina thought about it. Gabriel found it amusing and frustrating at the same time. He felt like there was a hint of

seriousness in Gina’s words, as if she was afraid of owing him a favor. Gabriel nodded and said, “Alright, but can your return gift be according to my request?” Gina didn’t see any problem with that. “Of course,’ she replied. “Alright,” Gabriel said. “We’ll talk about the specifics then when I ask you for a gift in return. Is that okay?” “Mm-hmm, Gina replied as she nodded. A call came in Gabriel glanced at it and noticed that it was a call from an employee of the company. If it was any other unimportant call, he would not answer it. He just wanted to enjoy the time he had with Gina. “I’ll take this call,” Gabriel said to Gina. “Take your time choosing” Initially, Gabriel intended to accompany Gina to choose. Now, the sales assistant would accompany Gina instead. As the sales assistant explained the materials and styles of the handbags to Gina, she engaged in small talk with Gina from time to time. “Miss Miller, your fiancé is so kind to you,” she said. Gina widened her eyes and clarified, “He’s not my fiancé.” 1/3 13:31 Wed, 22 May DG Chapter 65 The sales assistant had a look of understanding things. She said, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry, I know. The wedding reception hasn’t been held yet, so it’s indeed inappropriate to say that he’s your fiancé, After all, when a big shot like Mr. Jackson holds an engagement party, it will definitely cause a sensation in the entire city the sales assistant thought. Gina opened her mouth but said nothing. She did not explain much either. The sales assistant saw Gina looking around and not saying anything, so she asked, “Miss Miller, you don’t like these styles, huh “Not really,” Gina said, She just had a bit of decision paralysis.

“What do you think of these handbags then?” the sales assistant asked. “Not bad,” Gina said casually. “They’re all pretty good.” Gabriel returned after answering the call and asked, “C n a, how’s the selection going?” 2 8 F 8 The sales assistant replied enthusiastically on behalf of Gina, saying, “Miss Miller said all these handbags are pretty good.” Gabriel glanced at the variety of handbags on the shelves and said indifferently. “Wrap them all up C i n a was stunned, thinking. That’s not necessary! then. The sales assistant’s eyes widened, thinking. These handbags, plus the accessories, will cost over two million dollars at a minimum. I’m truly shocked by Mr. Jackson’s lavish spending just to please his fiancée. Is this the kind of boyfriend you hear about in stories, who buys handbags worth over two million dollars for his girlfriend when he does things on the spur of the moment? And my ex- boyfriend… he would only buy me an ice cream worth three dollars when he acted on a whim! The sales assistant wanted to beat her chest and stamp her feet. Gina quickly said, “I just didn’t know which one to choose, and that’s why I said they were all good. It doesn’t mean I want to buy them all.” He thought, ‘Decision paralysis? I get it. Gabriel’s appeared gentle. “Let’s not choose then,” he said. “We’ll buy them all, and you can take your time picking later.” He then instructed the sales assistant again, saying, “Wrap them all up.” The sales assistant nodded vigorously and was overjoyed, thinking, ‘No need to worry about this month’s sales performance. anymore!’ On the street outside, Olivia held Ethan’s arm and walked out of Quaria Jewelry Store. The engagement diamond rings had been bought. The diamond was a dazzling ten-carat stone. She loved it and couldn’t wait to put it on. “Olivia, we’re supposed to put it on at our engagement party,” Ethan said. “You put it on too early.” “Ethan, I just want to wear it now,” Olivia said.

13.31 Wed, 22 May Chapter 65 When Olivia acted endearingly, Ethan could not resist anymore. He had no choice but to go along with her wishes. “Alright, alright, Ethan said. “Remember to put it away later.” “Okay,” Olivia replied. Olivia admired the diamond ring on her finger. As she lifted her head, she saw a Hosxen store. She said endearingly again. “Ethan, I want to buy a handbag “Huh?” Ethan said. When Ethan saw that it was a Hosxen store, he was overwhelmed. He thought, I used my pocket money to buy the diamond ring earlier. That’s huge spending. If 1 buy another bag, I won’t have any money left to spend freely this month. More importantly, if my mom finds out that I spend money again to buy stuff for Olivia, she’ll definitely say I’m showing off. “Ethan, buy a handbag for your wife,” Olivia said. “I’ve been carrying the previous one for a long time. Because you gave it to me, I couldn’t bear to switch it to another one. In the end, people say I’ve got only one handbag… Olivia’s tone carried a hint of grievance. “Ethan, please?” Olivia said. Under Olivia’s persistent persuasion, Ethan reluctantly agreed. As soon as the two of them entered the Hossen store, a sales assistant came forward to attend to them, saying, “I’m sorry, but almost all the goods in the store have been purchased. Are you sure you still want to come in and browse?” Olivia glanced at the empty shelves with a somewhat sour expression, thinking. It seems that I can’t buy the style of handbag I want today” Ethan, on the other hand, felt a sense of relief. He said hypocritically, “Olivia, look, there’s hardly anything to choose from. Why don’t we come again next time?” Olivia did not want to leave just like that. She then tightened her grip on Ethan and said, “It’s fine. I’ll take a look around.”

Ethan was left speechless. Even the sales assistant could tell that Ethan was reluctant. She thought, Judging from their attire, they probably came from well-off families. Buying a Hosxen bag shouldn’t be difficult for them. But the guy looks very unwilling. Is it because he is stingy? I’ve just seen Mr. Jackson’s generosity, and now that I’m looking at these two, it’s like night and day!’ “Hurry up and choose then, Ethan said impatiently.
