But under today&#8217;s circumstances, I can only use his money. Although I feel uncomfortable, at least, it solves the emergency.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as the boss sees the black card, he immediately changes his attitude and says to me obsequiously, \u201cThis lady is really interesting. You could have said it earlier that you have money, then we don\u2019t have to bother the policemen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He takes the black card, swipes it quickly, then smiles to the policeman, \u201cSorry sir, this is a misunderstanding, sorry to bother you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The policemen see that the matter is settled, they purse their lips and get out of the store.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe is an mere designer. How could you get a black card? How dare you say you&#8217;re upright and honest?\u201d Nicole Snow glances down at the black card in my hand, her face is resentful.<\/p>\n<p>Whitney Jordan&#8217;s eyes fall on the black card, too, and her expression changed slightly.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing the show is over, Nicole Snow takes Whitney Jordan and leaves.<\/p>\n<p>Nora comes over, she says to me still fearfully, \u201cYou scared me to death. I thought you can\u2019t afford it and would to be arrested.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I smile at her, looking around the store, and ask, \u201cDo you have another similar vase?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I have already spent a lot of money anyway. I wouldn&#8217;t mind spending a little more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou really have a crush on this vase. You&#8217;re lucky. There is still one left.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nora gives me a vase. I take a look, and it looks the same as the broken one.<\/p>\n<p>I take the vase home, all way carefully. I am afraid to break it again. I&#8217;ve had a really bad day.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, Frances Louis is not back yet.<\/p>\n<p>I carefully place the vase on the TV stand, and ask Betty, \u201cDo you think this vase looks like the one before?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPretty much the same.\u201d Betty nods with satisfaction, and I am relieved.<\/p>\n<p>Frances Louis, who is not usually at home, probably forgets what the vase looks like.<\/p>\n<p>Betty is busy cooking, and after I deal with the cut on my face, I go to the kitchen to help. The main reason to help with cooking is that the food would not be too bad to eat.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as the dinner is ready, Frances Louis returns.<\/p>\n<p>He comes home early today. Luckily, I got back before he did.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are back. Let\u2019s have dinner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I say to him, untying my apron.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;ve had my dinner. Have the dinner yourselves.\u201d Frances Louis sits down on the sofa without looking at me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow did you hurt your face?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I thought Frances Louis would leave it at that, but he pursues it to the end.<\/p>\n<p>I can only keep lying.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI broke a glass carelessly and cut my face.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGlass?\u201d Frances Louis gives me a meaningful look, then he strides in and sits on my bed. He asks me with a smile, \u201cThis afternoon, I received two messages on my phone. You spent three million. What did you buy?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I am stunned.<\/p>\n<p>I thought a rich man like Frances Louis would not bind bank cards with the phone.<\/p>\n<p>I smile guiltily. I go to sit on his laps, wrapping his neck and act coquettishly, \u201cYou give me the money and you want me to spend it, right? Couldn\u2019t I buy something I like?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, you can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His words make me relieved.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, the honey trap works, otherwise I really don&#8217;t know how to explain. I don&#8217;t even know what I can buy for three million dollars!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut when did you begin to collect antiques? Why don\u2019t I know?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-134","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/134","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
