Chapter 116
Whenever anything was off, she would try to tolerate and compromise.
She never thought she would be taken advantage of because of it.
Well, perhaps she was just too foolish, or she wouldn’t have been deceived for so long.
If her mother hadn’t fallen ill, she might have been fooled into marrying Set without realizing
- it.
Fortunately, she cut her losses in time. Otherwise, no one would sympathize with her.
She even felt somewhat fortunate to have married Leslie.
Despite his cold nature, he would respond to anything.
Thinking about Leslie, Aurelia involuntarily let down her hair and tidied it up. She then took out a sample of makeup from her bag and touched up.
She wondered how Leslie would evaluate her appearance. Would he be as critical as Seth?
Aurelia was momentarily puzzled.
Why should she care about what Leslie thinks?
With a sense of unease, she pushed open the door and stepped out of the dressing room.
As she lifted her head, she met Leslie’s complicated gaze.
She felt a bit disappointed.
“Do I not look good? I’ll change then.”
“Aurelia, just wear this. It looks fine.”
After speaking, Leslie immediately lowered his head to choose something else.
He tried acting casual, but his gaze remained fixed on Aurelia.
The long dress accentuated Aurelia’s fair skin, and as her hair fell gently when she bowed, it added a touch of charm.
He can’t help but regret making her wear something so beautiful.
He was startled by his own thoughts.
He comforted himself by thinking that he simply couldn’t stand Aurelia’s usual style. It was too unsightly.
Soon, Leslie regained his composure and picked a few more items, handing them to the staff. ” Pack these up for her.”
Upon hearing this, Aurelia hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
“Mr. Synder, I don’t need these many clothes. I already have my own.” Aurelia looked at him and whispered, “It’s very expensive here. One dress is enough.”
“They are on sale,” Leslie said indifferently.
“Even if that’s the case, it’s still very expensive here.” Aurelia shook her head.
Leslie glanced at the staff.
The staff immediately approached. “There’s a ten percent off for one item, 50 percent off for two items, 70 percent off for three items. It’s more cost–effective to buy more than one.”
Aurelia thought it made sense and trusted Leslie’s judgment.
“Well, how inuch is it in total?” she asked.
“Three dresses in total. The total is 15 thousand…” the staff said but paused when she saw the look in Leslie’s eyes.
What is she saying? She couldn’t afford to cross her boss.
“What?” Aurelia asked in surprise.
“There’s a ninety percent off and after all the discount, it’s five hundred,” Leslie said thoughtfully.
It wouldn’t be convincing to say that a dress in this area cost under a hundred.
Aurelia wasn’t someone who didn’t know the value of things, so five hundred was the lowest price Leslie could think of within the reasonable range.
Aurelia was surprised.
Considering the designs, material, and ornaments of the dresses, any piece would cost hundreds. Purchasing a dress would cost half her monthly salary.
Yet Leslie said each dress only cost a little over a hundred.
Leslie could tell that she didn’t believe him, so his cold gaze swept the staff.
The staff hurried over and started lying, “Miss, you should thank this gentleman. He got lucky in the lucky draw and drew a ninety percent off deal. Otherwise, each dress would have cost around five hundred each. It’s the anniversary of our shop and the only top price has been drawn by this gentleman.”
The staff maintained a professional smile, silently hoping that she could get a bonus for being such a great actress.
Working was hard, indeed.
