Chapter 35: Would He Buy A Fake?
Hazel had originally planned to give her a 10% discount. However, after calculating, she would still have to pay 10000 dollars herself. That was still too much for her, so she finally decided to give her 1% off.
That would leave Hazel with 1000 dollars to pay. She had just received the payment for attending the Surrogacy Competition several days ago, which was exactly 1000 dollars.
Thinking of that, she could not help but complain that capitalists were all money-hungry vampires. He even wanted the 1000 dollars back!
“I’ll buy at the original price. Period!” Janet sneered and looked at her contemptuously.
She really thought Hazel was just a greedy woman who loved money. How much could a dress and a pair of shoes cost? She was Mr. Denmark’s secretary, it would be a piece of cake for her to buy them.
However, Janet regretted the moment Hazel gave her the dress and the shoes.
She just heard that Joshua had bought Hazel clothes; she had never expected they would be so expensive!
“The price is totally about 97000 dollars, forget about the bit extra,” Hazel said to Janet. After all, she did not know the exact difference.
“Are…are they quality products?” Janet was in deep regret now.
She thought the prices would be 20000 dollars at most. Now it was almost 100000 dollars!
“Joshua bought them for me.” Hazel replied in a puzzled look, “Would he buy a fake?”
Of course not, Janet thought, but this was a lot of money for her.
She said embarrassedly, “I did not bring enough money with me.”
“That’s OK. You can transfer the money to me via PayPal.” Hazel said, “Do you want the password for our WIFI?”
Janet now understood the feeling of being in a position with no way out.
Watching that Janet did not react, Hazel asked suspiciously, “You can’t afford them?”
“How is it possible? Of course, I can afford them!” Janet screamed out. “My money is invested. It may take time to transfer it to my account. Hold on, I will transfer the money to you now.”
Janet had been trying hard to make Hazel misunderstand Joshua. If Hazel suspected her at all, then her efforts before would be wasted.
Janet transferred the money to Hazel. Looking at her account, Hazel felt somewhat unreal. Now she could return the money to Joshua, and they would no longer have any contact.
Janet got the dress and shoes and left without saying anything.
Hazel walked back to the dormitory, and suddenly her cell phone rang.
It was Joshua, she was so confused as to why he would be calling.
She hesitated for a while, but she finally answered her phone.
“Hazel, have you made it back to school?” Joshua asked her in a low voice.
“Yes. Anything wrong?”
“Nothing. I was worried since I had not heard from you. It’s good that you made it back safely.”
Hearing his voice, she was even more confused.
He was still playing his role! He sounded so sincere, and she was about to believe he cared! How could he regard her as just an object when it was convenient for him?
“Is this your private number?” Hazel suddenly asked him.
“Yes. It is.” He replied in a soft voice. “You can call me at any time.”
Hazel furrowed her eyebrow, “Have a good night.”
Her phone rang again the moment she hung it up.
This time Hazel did not hesitate to answer, it was Ivan calling.
“Hazel, you told me before that your classmate had some clothes to sell?” Ivan asked.
“Sorry, Ivan.” Hazel apologized, “She already sold them. Thank you for your help, though.”
“Already sold? That’s fine.” Ivan continued, “By the way, tomorrow, one of the tutors would like to take us to M State to sing folk songs. We are actually going to have a road trip. Would you like to join us?”
“Am I allowed to go?” Hazel was exhilarated.
“Yes.” Ivan said, “Our tutor has already confirmed the number of people going. Unfortunately, one of our classmates is unable to go. We all think it is a pity to let the spot go to waste. Can you go with us?
“Really?” However, Hazel was a little worried, “Will the others agree with me attending?”
“Rest assured, they will not care. I have told them that you are my sister.”
He said. “We will be gone for three days. Tomorrow is the weekend; you should have time then?”
“OK. I will be ready to go tomorrow morning!” Hazel was relieved. She needed some time away.
Perhaps she would avoid the annoying invitations from Joshua if she was gone for a few days. He was a smart person and should naturally understand what she meant.
Early the next morning, Hazel packed her luggage and waited at the school gate.
Ivan pulled up in front of her, he got out of the car and helped her with the luggage.
Hazel looked at him suspiciously, “Ivan, why are there only two of us?”
“The others will take the bus.” Ivan explained, “I did not want to take the bus, so I planned to drive. Let’s go.”
Hazel got in the car.
She took her phone out and transferred the 97000 dollars to Joshua. Then she found his number and added it to her blocked contacts.
She did not return the money yesterday because she was afraid that he would directly go to the school and find her. Now even if he wanted to find her, he did not know where to go.
Thinking for a while, she sent messages to her roommates saying she would be away for a few days and that they should not worry about her.
“What are you doing?” Ivan asked.
“Telling my roommates that I would be away for a few days.” Then she turned her phone off. “I was in a hurry yesterday and forgot to tell them.”
Ivan was surprised and asked her, “Why did you turn your phone off?”
“Well, they ask me a lot of questions, and I just want some quiet time.” Hazel smiled.
Ivan wrinkled his eyebrows.
Hazel had a good relationship with her roommates. Why did she not want to tell them that she was going with him? Ivan felt she had something on her mind that she was reluctant to tell him.
Joshua just walked into the office when he heard an alert coming from his phone.
Janet handed him a cup of water. She could not help asking, “Mr. President, you are still sick? Why did you not rest longer?”
Joshua took out his phone, and he got a big surprise at what he saw.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Why did Hazel send him money? The amount was…just the total price of the dress and the shoes that he had bought her!
“Get out!” Joshua instructed.
