Thea was not happy about Yuna insulting James.
“My husband isn’t a nobody.”
“Isn’t he?” Yuna smiled. “I’ve heard all about him. Your family picked him for you. He doesn’t have a job. All he does is sweep and cook at home, relying on the Callahans to feed him. He used to pick you up from work at Eternality with his electric motorcycle. It’s a popular joke in Cansingon now.”
“Keep talking and I’ll leave.” Thea looked unhappy.
“Alright, I was just joking,” Yuna apologized at once.
It looked like Thea was very much in love with James. It would be hard to create a wedge between them.
She changed the topic. “Which clothes do you like? Just pick them out and I’ll give them to you. With your amazing figure and beautiful looks, anything would look good on you.”
Thea’s unhappy look dissipated.
However, she could afford the clothes. She did not want Yuna’s charity.
With Yuna’s help, she selected a form-fitting white dress.
She liked the color white.
It represented purity.
When she paid for it, she discovered that it was a hundred and eighty thousand dollars.
She was shocked, not expecting the dress to be so expensive.
“Thea, I’ve told you. It’s a gift. The boutique is mine.”
“No, I can’t let you do that.” Thea waved a hand and removed the black card from her purse.
She grew slightly worried.
What if the card had no credit?
She would be an embarrassment again.
The cashier looked at Yuna.
Yuna glanced at the black card Thea was clutching. She was shocked. She wanted it so much that she was jealous.
No one else knew what the card was.
However, she did.
It was the Black Dragon card, the only one in the entire country.
“Go for it.”
Since Thea had produced the Black Dragon card, Yuna stopped insisting.
“James said I should get some jewelry.”
“Alright, I’ll come with you.”
“Okay…”
Thea was still in shock.
James was at the lounge downstairs. He was smoking and playing Plants vs. Zombies on his phone.
“Jamie…”
Thea called him.
He put his phone away immediately and stood up, asking, “How did it go?”
Thea lifted the bag in her hand. “I bought something, but…”
She swallowed. “It-it’s slightly expensive. It costs a hundred and eighty thousand.”
She had never worn anything so expensive in her life before. She was afraid that James would be angry at her for wasting money.
James smiled. “It’s just a hundred and eighty thousand dollars. It’s not like we’re poor. Is there anything else you want to buy? You should shop some more.”
Yuna approached with a smile on her face. “James, why don’t you go home? I’ll shop with Thea.”
