Chapter 15: A quarrel over a piece of clothing
Asher, however, didn’t seem any different and just gestured for Mia to eat.
Mia finished her breakfast in a state of confusion, not knowing what to eat, but still having anxiety in her mind.
As she set down the ivory chopsticks in her hand, a flat voice came from across the room, Asher continued flipping through the newspaper in his hand without looking up, “Full?”
Mia nodded dutifully.
Asher glanced up at her, closed the newspaper in his hand and pushed his chair away from the table with a graceful gesture, “Come with me.”
“Where to?” Mia froze, looking at the figure that was different than usual.
Asher walked with graceful steps to the coffee table in the living room, casually picked up the car keys placed on it, and walked straight to the foyer without looking back, saying in a tone like he was discussing the weather, “Shopping.”
“Huh?” Mia hadn’t had time to react, but under the gaze of a pair of dark eyes, she dutifully followed Asher to the latest Maserati.
The car sped forward, Asher still dignified even though he was driving.
On the passenger side, Mia crossed her arms in her lap, peeked at the man sitting in the cab and asked in a skeptical tone, “Asher, where are we going here?”
This man, he wasn’t still angry about her letting the dean go and was planning to drive her to a deserted place to destroy her body, was he?
Mia couldn’t help but shiver at the thought.
“Buying clothes.” Asher’s voice was faint, without the slightest hint of joy or anger.
Ah!
The difference in Mia’s mind was no less than a seven-step tsunami, that this man, was taking her clothes shopping!
A great uneasiness rose in Mia’s heart as she thought of all Asher’s doings, but she could only remain silent.
The latest, most exclusive Maserati, stopped at one of the city’s most exclusive business centers.
Immediately, a parking boy ran up and attentively resulted in the car keys in Asher’s hand.
Mia couldn’t help but gulp as she looked at the counters displayed in the mall. This place, she knew, was the most famous designer building in the city, and the prices of things inside were ridiculously expensive, and extremely poor people like her wouldn’t normally set foot in it.
She was even more certain at this point that Asher must not have had good intentions when he brought her to a place like this that was so upscale in terms of per capita spending.
“Come here, what are you standing around for?” Asher’s voice, took on a slight chill. He knew best what was going through this woman’s mind.
Mia snapped back to her senses and hurriedly righted herself, just as she walked over to Asher’s side, she saw Asher tossing the pile of clothes he had removed from his hands towards her, “Try on all these clothes!”
The tone, still commanding, condescending and irrefutable!
Mia saw with her afterglow that several of the guide ladies hadn’t taken their eyes off Asher since they’d walked in the door, their faces flushed.
Mia sighed slightly while Asher continued to have no intention of stopping and kept throwing more and more clothes into her arms.
Looking at the more and more clothes in her hands, as well as the guide lady’s mouth that couldn’t be closed wide, the corners of Mia’s mouth twitched a few times, and she couldn’t help but voice out a reminder, “That’s enough, it’s too much.”
Asher, still holding a goose yellow dress in her hand, turned back at her words and looked at her with an icy bland look, “Too much for you?”
Any other woman would have hated to have him buy the whole store for her.
And this woman is too much!
“You mean that all these clothes were bought for me?” Shock flashed at the bottom of her eyes, and Mia’s black and white eyes fixed on the man who looked slightly unnatural in front of her.
Unnaturalness swept under Asher’s eyes and his face sank sharply as he came closer to her and said coldly, “You think my pets are that easy to be? Even as a pet, I absolutely demand that it will be worthy of me, do you understand?”
Biting her lip hard, a quick flush of air under her eyes, Mia clenched her lips and looked straight at Asher for a long time before finally nodding and saying, “Master Jun, don’t worry, I will never embarrass you. Even if, I-am-only-playing-pet!”
The latter words were spoken word for word, like it took all of Mia’s strength.
Looking at the pale face in front of him, a cry of annoyance rose in Asher’s mind and he said impatiently, “Hurry up and try on the clothes!”
The strange emotion in his heart made him very uncomfortable, why did he feel the urge to take this little woman into his arms when he saw her look of resignation?
Damn it, what the hell was he thinking!
This woman, nothing more than his pet!
“Yes, Master Jun!” silently picking up a large pile of clothes, Mia’s manner was good but very disturbing.
The anxiety in Asher’s mind increased as he watched her slender figure disappear into the fitting room.
Wasn’t all he wanted, was this woman to be good and obedient, so why did he get an uncomfortable feeling when he saw her being so well behaved?
He hates this feeling!
It didn’t take much time to see Mia, who was already dressed and well behaved, standing in front of him.
A goose-yellow dress ironed out Mia’s wonderful figure, her chestnut hair hanging lazily over her shoulders, her head hanging slightly, her small face half-hidden by her long hair, only the delicate jaw and half of the well-defined side of her face visible.
“Keep your head up.” Asher’s voice, with a hint of inexplicable stirring.
Mia slowly lifted her head, a pair of black and white eyes slightly puzzled under her thick, slender lashes, her delicate mouth slightly open with a hint of deadly allure.
Asher had seen countless women, yet a glimpse of amazement still swept across the bottom of his eyes.
“Pets are pets, no matter what fancy clothes they wear, they still look like this.” For some reason, the words came out of Asher’s mouth.
The eyes around the room were all on Mia, with disdain and sarcasm at the bottom of their eyes.
Mia’s little face turned abruptly pale as she twisted around and headed for the fitting room, “Since it doesn’t look good, I’ll take it off!”
A long, slender hand wrapped around her.
Mia looked up into Asher’s seemingly repressed eyes, only to see him stiffen his face and say, “Just wear it!”
“You were the one who said it didn’t look good!” I don’t know why, but Mia’s heart was overflowing with aggression, this man, even on this occasion, didn’t forget to humiliate her to embarrass her!
Asher’s face was grim as he looked at the small, pale woman in front of him, tightening his grip on her slender waist to keep her close to him, his voice icy, “I don’t want to repeat what I said a second time!”
Did this woman have to provoke him?
Asher’s somber face was more like a prelude to a storm.
Mia hung her head slightly and looked stoically at her toes, having to put up with Asher’s insults over and over again for the sake of the orphanage and the director.
“I’ll get the car and you can just come out after the check!” There was a half-hearted silence as Asher shoved a card into her hand and struck out towards the outside.
With a long sigh, Mia walked up to the counter.
“I had my eye on that dress a few days ago and now you’re telling me you’ve sold it to someone else?” An extremely arrogant voice caught Mia’s attention.
Turning her head to look, she saw a woman with a mixed-race delicate face, blown-out skin, bright and seductive red lips, curly hair cascading over her shoulders, and a charming demeanor arrogantly reprimanding the lady at the front desk.
“Miss Lina, I’m sorry, because you didn’t book it before, so this dress we have just sold out, I’m really sorry, this will never happen again!” The front desk lady looked terrified and carefully made amends.
The woman known as Lina, however, refused to take it lying down and her demeanor became arrogant, “Hmph, this dress is a limited edition, I just can’t believe anyone can afford it!”
“Miss Lai, look, that’s the lady who bought that dress away …” said the receptionist lady, pointing carefully at Mia.
Before Mia could react, she saw Lina slowly walking towards her, her beautiful face with scrutiny and disdain, her tone arrogant and cold, “You’re the one who bought that dress away? But even if you wear this dress, you still smell like a poor person!”
Mia picked up her card and headed straight for the door, not wanting to pay any attention to Leena. She wasn’t in a position to make any more trouble than she already was.
“Hey, if you want to leave, take your clothes off!” She had just taken a step when she saw Lina blocking her way, her demeanor arrogant.
Mia raised her head, looked quietly at the unbeatable woman in front of her, and said faintly, “These ladies, I’ve already bought this dress, so why should I take it off and give it to you?”
“Just because I saw this dress first!” Lina stood in front of Mia, a full head above her, her tone overbearing and unreasonable.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Mia looked at her gorgeous face, hooked her lips slightly and said lightly, “Miss Lai, what if I refuse?”
“Do you know who I am, how dare you talk to me in such a tone!” Perhaps not expecting Mia to be so calm, Riina’s expression gradually took on impatience, while her tone remained domineering.
It seemed that everyone in the world had to give in to her.
Mia’s lips curled into a cold smile, her voice without a trace of temperature, “Miss Lai, I don’t care who you are, all I know is that I’ve already bought this dress, you have no right to make me take it off in public! If there’s nothing else, I’ll go first, Miss Lai just continue to be unreasonable!”
“Unbridled, I am Jun …” Never before had she been robbed of her country like this, and Riina’s beautiful face was a red burst of white.
Before she could finish her words, she heard an unmistakably elegant voice interjected from behind her, “Nana, it’s just fetching a dress, what’s taking so long?”
Mia fixed her eyes, but saw an elegantly dressed, middle-aged, beautiful woman walk in and ask lightly.
