"I.."
"Beep.. beep" the call was cut before she could say a word. She looked at her phone with a helpless gaze. Both girls noticed her dimmed eyes and frowned.
"What happened, Mei? You look worried." asked the first looking Xia Yu.
"She must be exhausted by the work. She needs a break. It is her good luck that we are here for her today." Xia Yu looked at both of their smiles with a nauseating look. They work in such a tandem. Even a fool could see they were here to get some benefit from Lei Mei.
She immediately thought of a plan and messaged Lei Ying, "I do not have money to go out with them."
"There are three cards in your second drawer." came an immediate reply crushing all her thoughts.
"Mei!" When they found her staring at the phone blankly, the girls could not help but ask. They have already praised her so many times. They had even asked her about her worries. She should already smile and take them to the shopping mall. What was she staring at?
"Yes? Yes! What is the plan then?" They both smiled brightly and relaxed at once when they heard Xia Yu.
"We should go to the nearby mall and do some shopping. What else?" both of them wrapped their arms around her one hand and already started exiting the office. In half an hour they had already reached the most expensive mall of the city, Rowania. Though anyone can visit this place, only the royalty could buy things from here. This place was famous for its premium goods and each item was sold at exorbitant prices.
Xia Yu's heart shook. She would never be able to shop at a place like this. But here she was! Dressed strangely holding the hands of two strangers and walking as if she owned this place. Though her inside was screaming. She looked completely calm from outside as she gave a cold and indifferent look and walked inside.
She was immediately dragged to a large showroom of bags.
"Oh my! They have already launched their latest collection. I have thought that I need to wait for ages for that." finally her hands were freed. Xia Yu rubbed her arms and scanned the showroom.
The golden and red lights flashed on the beautiful bags. Each of them looked so elegant and sexy. No wonder they finally let her go.
A salesgirl came toward them with a bright smile on her face.
"Miss Lei, it had been a long time. How may I assist you today?" The salesgirl must have been familiar with Lei Mei. Although she was asking, she had already picked up a red bag for Xia Yu.
"This is the premium bag of our latest collection. There is only one piece like this in the whole country. And only four in the whole world. One was given to a princess in dubai and the other was gifted to the queen's family in Britain and the last one had been booked by the owner of the brand. It is a legend in itself." The red bag had a golden stone and soft leather. It looked so elegant that Xia Yu nodded with appreciation. "Would you like to try it?" the salesgirl added in confusion. The way she had introduced the bag, Lei Mei should have already asked her to pack the bag. Why was she still only nodding?
By now, the girls had returned to Xia Yu's side. They have a bag in their hands already.
"Of course, such a bag should end up with her. Who else could buy it? " They both fawned at Xia Yu again. "Not only that, she is going to buy us these bags too." Both of them showed their bags too.
Just as expensive as hers she was sure though she still did not know of their price. It was not like she did not like the bag, it was a wonder in itself, but she could not afford it. She could not even ask for the price as Lei Mei would never care about the price.
But she could notice the salesgirl's confusion. If she dragged further, they would doubt her. But her conscience would not let her buy the bag!
"If three of them already have this bag, why should I buy it?" suddenly her tone turned haughty and she glared at the salesgirl for insulting her
The salesgirl flinched even though the girls were left dumbfounded but then they hastily nodded.
"Of course, our Mei could not have common goods. She was better than those royalties." they could not bend further as they praised her again and again. Xia Yu finally smiled at them. But the grin left a lingering fear in them.
"Those bags! I do not want them too. I will only buy from a shop that would exclusively make products only for me." with that, she had already turned and left, leaving the stunned girls behind.
The salesgirl blinked. Her face turned sour.
"Miss, if you want to buy those bags. You have to pay.." Only then did both of them come to their senses. Of course, they wanted the bags. But they did not want to pay for it.
Lei Mei was their bank. If she had left, then could only follow her.
"Did you not hear what Mei said! How could we still want these bags?" with a broken heart, they parted with the bags.
"Her attitude had gotten worse." snarled one of them as they walked out of the showroom and looked around for Lei Mei.
"I know. It must be because of her marriage. She had funds to throw such tantrums. What could we do except following her." They both sighed and looked around for Lei Mei. they did not know that Xia Yu was hiding behind the pillar and listening to their conversation with a sneer.
"You could go and earn money to buy things for yourself. Yet you tried to rob me. But I am not so gullible!"
