Chapter 36: Took the Bait

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Seeing that Mary did not move, Julie said awkwardly, “Mary, don’t you have anything you want to buy? I think there are a few new bags that suit you very well.”

But Mary only glanced at the shelf and said, “There’s nothing I like. I’m not buying.”

“But don’t you like the bags in this store the most? Are you telling me you don’t see anything you like? Do you want to take a look?” Julie was feeling a little anxious.

Julie would definitely not be willing to spend hundreds of thousands on these items. Moreover, she did not have that much money.

Julie had called Mary over to pay the bill, but Julie did not expect Mary to act so abnormally today. Mary did not move at all.

“I’m not in the mood today. Let’s go after you choose.” Mary urged impatiently.

The shop assistant was a little embarrassed at the moment, as it was always Mary who paid with her card before.

The shop assistant tentatively asked, “Miss Mary, how would you like to pay? By card?”

Mary looked at the shop assistant with a smile, “Why should I pay for her shopping? Did I take anything from your store? What a joke.”

The shop assistant was afraid of offending Mary, so she explained, “Because you have always paid before, so…”

Mary interrupted her directly and said, “That won’t be the case anymore. Whoever chooses the items will pay for them. Don’t ask me next time, got it?”

Not only was the shop assistant stunned, but Julie was also speechless with surprise.

Seeing the gazes of the people around her turn from envy to disdain, Julie wished she could find a hole to hide in.

Especially when she heard someone whisper, “This woman can’t be a prostitute, right? Has she been scamming her friend to pay for her?”

Julie couldn’t take it anymore. She gritted her teeth and said, “I’ll pay by card!”

Then, she glared at Mary. She couldn’t afford nearly 400,000 yuan, so she could only use Bob’s credit card.

Little did she know that more awkward situations were yet to come.

“I’m sorry, Miss Julie,” the shop assistant said apologetically. “You don’t have enough balance on this card.”

Hearing this, Mary almost laughed out loud.

Julie had followed Bob for so long, yet Julie couldn’t even get 400,000 yuan from him. Mary had thought that this couple was all about true love, but it seems that their relationship wasn’t as impressive as she had expected.

Bob only talks about love and wouldn’t give Julie a cent?

Julie endured the awkwardness and said, “Then, I only want the bag. I don’t want anything else for now.”

The shop assistant maintained a gentle demeanor, but her tone had turned slightly unfriendly. “I’m sorry, but if the deposit is not enough, you won’t be able to purchase this bag. It’s a new model, and many customers have already made reservations. Why don’t you…”

Without waiting for the shop assistant to finish, Julie angrily pulled back her credit card and walked out of the store. Mary shrugged at the shop assistant and followed her out.

Julie was very dissatisfied with Mary’s behavior just now. She kept walking forward angrily, completely ignoring Mary.

Usually, Mary would follow behind her at this time, but when Julie turned around, Mary had already walked towards the entrance of the mall.

Julie had not completely lost her mind and hurriedly followed Mary. She certainly remembered why she had invited Mary out today.

“Darling, wait for me. Why did you leave without saying anything?” Julie looked a little panicked.

If Bob knew that she had let Mary leave, she didn’t know if she would still be alive when she returned.

Mary looked confused. “Didn’t you say you wanted to go shopping with me? Since you don’t have money to buy anything, what’s there to shop for?”

Julie was hit on the sore spot, but she did not dare to flare up. She could only coax Mary patiently, “There are still a few more stores, maybe we’ll find something suitable there. Let’s go check them out.”

However, Mary had a sarcastic look on her face as she said, “Do you have enough money to buy from those other stores?”

Julie really wanted to shake off Mary right away. Why did she always poke at her sore spots?

However, when she thought of Bob’s instructions, she suppressed her anger. “Bob said that he wanted to see you today. You haven’t seen Bob in a long time. Don’t you miss him?”

Hearing Bob’s name, Mary finally smiled, and Julie heaved a sigh of relief.

It seemed that Mary still cared about Bob. As long as she cared about Bob, everything would be easy.

On the other hand, Mary was smiling, “The fish is finally going to take the bait.”
