Chapter 45Let’s Go to Your Place to Eat
After sending Eden and Dalton off, Suzanne finally returned to the office and rested on the table for a while.
Although it was Nancy’s job, she also felt extremely tired after helping for a day. After coming back from the restaurant, she almost felt that all the bones in her body were about to fall apart and she didn’t want to go anywhere.
In order to thank her for bringing a pile of snacks, Nancy went to make a cup of fragrant rose tea for her and smiled very obediently. “Have a rest, everything is settled!”
Suzanne looked at the pile of snacks, including her favorite Italian biscuits, but after a few glances, she put them all in the drawer with a depressed face.
When she weighed herself in the dressing room in the morning, she found that she weighed two pounds. Maybe it was because she had been eating the dishes made by Mrs Morrison often these days, so she had gained weight unconsciously.
These snacks contained high levels of heat. If she ate them, it must stimulate the growth of her weight.
The banquet would be held the day after tomorrow. It would be so embarrassing if she was a little fatter and couldn’t wear that evening gown!
Suzanne wanted to lie down on the table and sleep for a while, but the office was a little noisy. She squinted for a long time but couldn’t fall asleep. Lazily lying in her chair, she held her phone and played Star Destroying.
At five o’clock, she got off work on time. She locked the drawer, carried her bag, and walked out of the office.
Recently, her Beetle had been gathering dust in the parking lot. When she was free, she had to drive to the bathroom to wash and see if she needed petrol.
As soon as she went out, an insolent sports car happened to come over.
The body of the sports car was sleek with top-grade equipment. It was also a fiery red color with an eye-catching style. Before the sports car even came to a stop, the surrounding people started to scream as they looked at the sports car with envy.
Suzanne gritted her teeth and walked quickly to the car with her head down. She opened the door of the passenger seat and got in. She said angrily, “What are you doing? Can’t you stop a little further away? Why do you like to be in the limelight as much as Edwiin?”
The driver did not answer her but just quickly drove the car away from the TV station.
“Hurry up, I still have to go back to the apartment to cook later.” Suzanne lowered her head and rummaged through her bag. She didn’t notice the strange atmosphere inside the car and muttered, “I have to put my phone on silent mode, in case I get called back for dinner.”
Silence, silence again.
After a long while, a cold voice sounded in the car. “What’s wrong? Don’t you like going home?”
Suzanne’s body froze. She didn’t even dare to move her small hands fiddling with her phone. Biting her lip, she was furious and hated her own mouth.
She tilted her head slightly and saw that it was Edwiin who was driving. He was wearing a thin black shirt, with his sleeves rolled up to reveal a part of his wrist. The two big hands holding the steering wheel looked wide and powerful.
However, his imposing manner and slightly pursed thin lips indicated that he was not in a good mood now.
“Edwiin,” Suzanne said sheepishly, gripping his phone tightly. She was very nervous and uneasy. She lowered her head and shrank her shoulders like a rabbit that was afraid of something. “Why isn’t Myron?”
“I can’t come here?”
Seeing that Edwiin’s voice was getting colder and colder, Suzanne quickly waved her hand and said, “No, no, he just said he would take me to try on shoes. I thought he came to pick me up.”
“He happened to have something busy, so he asked me to pick you up.”
Suzanne replied with an “oh”and obediently lay back in her chair.
Not long after, Edwiin drove her to a famous shop.
This was an Italian brand, which was quite famous around the world. Six years ago, the Follette family had reached an agreement with this brand, and it had become the only company in China that operated this brand.
Jena City belonged to Myron, so the store here was naturally managed by him.
Most of the employees in the store knew Edwiin. When they saw him arrive, the manager of the area immediately went up to him. The other employees went to get shoes, the logo on the blue shoe box particularly elegant and noble.
The shop assistant took out a few pairs of shoes from the shoe box and placed them on the grey and white tiles.
“They’re all pretty good,” Suzanne praised. These few pairs of shoes were pretty, and they were famous brands at that. Any pair of shoes could go to a banquet, and they wouldn’t depreciate a lot.
Edwiin pointed at the sofa.
Suzanne glanced at him before looking at him. She obediently agreed and sat down on the sofa.
Edwiin lowered his head and scanned the pairs of shoes with his black eyes. Finally, he picked up a pair of light yellow high heels and squatted down in front of the sofa.
Just as Suzanne was wondering what he was going to do, he unexpectedly took off his pointy flat shoes.
Her toenails were small and painted with light purple nail polish. The nail polish looked extremely matching with her white and soft feet, beautiful and tempting.
Edwiin’s broad palm was big enough to wrap her little foot. He grabbed and squeezed it a few times, placing her foot on the ground, and gently helped her put on her shoes with one hand.
After putting on a pair of shoes, Suzanne’s face was already bright red and she nervously clutched the pillow on the sofa.
Under Edwiin’s signal, she stood up and walked to the mirror to take a look. She felt that it was quite good, but the man frowned slightly, apparently not very fond of it.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Edwiin didn’t pay much attention to the shoes on the tiles. He called the area manager over and whispered a few words in her ear. Then, he asked the clerk to get some new designs.
Suzanne was attended to by him and tried on one shoe after another. In the end, she almost couldn’t stand still.
The district manager, who had gone out for a long time, ran back with a bag in his hand. Just by looking at the gold and silver logo on the bag, Suzanne knew that it was not a pair of shoes of this brand.
Inside the box was a pair of silver-white high heels, about eighty centimeters high. The style was elegant and noble, and the tip of the shoes was slightly sharp. The edges were decorated with metal accessories, which were beautiful and yet stylish.
Edwiin helped her put on the shoes like a waiter. He watched as she walked around in circles in front of the full-length mirror and then stopped. This time, his expression was much gentler. It was obvious that he was quite satisfied with this pair of shoes.
Seeing that the district manager was the only one who packed up the shoes, Suzanne hesitated for a moment. Pointing at the shoes on the tiles, she couldn’t help but ask, “Why don’t you help me calculate how much these two pairs of shoes cost? I want them as well.”
Edwiin glanced at her. “You’ve taken a fancy to it?”
Suzanne nodded and said, “The style is quite good.” As she spoke, she leaned closer to him and said quietly, “This is Myron’s shop. You can get a discount at least. I’ll buy two pairs. I think I can get a 20% discount. It’s a good deal.”
“Does our family need to save money like this?” Edwiin glanced at her coldly. Suzanne was really pissed off by the capitalist’s insolence. She showed a well-behaved smile and scolded him in his heart.
In the end, the district manager wrapped up the two pairs of shoes for her, but did not take her money.
Suzanne put things down in the back seat and went back to the passenger seat to fasten her seat belt. She asked uneasily, “Edwiin, shall we go home?”
“You don’t want to go home, do you?” Edwiin said, “Then we won’t go home.”
Suzanne was overjoyed, but before she could maintain her expression for three seconds, she heard him say coldly, “Well, since you said you would cook, I’ll eat at your place tonight.”
