Cynthia realized that she overthought things.After all, Leon was just an orphan. He did not have much of a background.Furthermore, Cynthia was the jewel of the Shears. She's not just immensely beautiful, but rich and powerful as well. She had so many men after her, so how could she have her eyes on the ordinary Leon?!"Janice, what are you working as right now?" Leon asked, wanting to know more about Janice."Oh, I went into a big company after I graduated. I got quite lucky, and I'm already a department manager. I make a few thousand a month."Janice was a bit pleased with herself. After that, she remembered Leon's situation, and she said, "Leon, I remember you mentioning that you're a presidential secretary at a cosmetic company.""That position isn't too bad, but a secretary still usually handles errands in the end. It's mostly a woman's job, and there's not much power for you, nor will you have much of a future. It's not a good long-term plan."Saying that, Janice paused f
"I'll pay by card!" Leon did not care and gave the waitress his card.There was still more than ten million in that account, so five hundred was nothing to him.Looking at the card in Leon's hand, the waitress was shocked.Anyone who could eat at a high-end restaurant like this was usually someone rich. Quite a few of those rich heirs would use cards from Rivercity Bank.Even though she could not recognize the Supreme Card, she still knew the significance of Rivercity Bank! Suddenly, she was incredibly shocked. She could not stop herself from being thankful that she maintained a polite attitude. If she said anything offensive, she would probably lose her job!"Leon, you're not in that great of a financial position. You'll need your money for many things in the future. Let me pay for this!" Janice hurriedly took the card back and passed it to Leon. After that, she took out the phone and asked to transfer the money."No need, I'm treating you this time. How could I make you pay?
"Janice, traffic's quite bad in the city. It's not easy to find any parking, so a bike's more convenient. You can leave your car here for now. Once we're done shopping, you can come back to get it," Leon knew that Janice drove over. It was much less convenient than his bike."Oh, alright," Janice nodded. After that, Leon brought her away.…Fuller Mall was a shopping mall that was close to the restaurant. After Leon parked his bike, he walked into the mall with Janice.Both of them shopped around.Seeing a large clothing brand, Jancie pulled Leon inside.The shop was not a big international brand, but it was still well-known within the country. It was a mid- to high-end brand.It was a very large place, split into both the men's wear area and the women's wear area.Janice dragged Leon into the men's wear area."Janice, didn't you want to buy some clothes? You should go to the women's wear area, why did you bring me here?" Leon was curious."I wanted to see if there was anyt
"Leon, fashion always comes and goes, and soon, this will be out of style before you know it. Let's just buy one set. There's no need to buy so many, is there?" Janice said, forcing out a smile. "That's okay. I need some new additions to my wardrobe too, so why not buy a few more while we're at it?" Leon said nonchalantly. "But..." Janice faltered at this. She wanted to change Leon's mind, but before she could say anything, Leon interjected, "No buts! Miss, can you help me pack these up and put them on my tab?" "Yes, sir." The salesgirl was overjoyed at this. This was her first time encountering a customer as generous as this one, and she quickly realized that this man was probably a billionaire. Upon realizing this, her attitude changed entirely, and she plastered a wide grin on her face. Then, as though afraid that Leon would change his mind at the next second, she disappeared to the counter with the clothes he ordered. Janice was utterly stunned by this sight. Now that
"But…" Janice could not think of any reason to reject the salesgirl's offer. "Come on. Let's go take a look." Leon took her hand and dragged her toward the women's department. Seeing that there was no prying her way out of this, Janice sighed and relented. After all, she was already here; it would not hurt anyone to try on a few pieces. Even if they turned out to be out of her budget, she could always choose not to buy them. Janice walked into the women's department with this thought. "Miss, these skirts and dresses are the newest additions to our store; I'm sure that the elegant design would look amazing on you, so feel free to try a few of them out…" the salesgirl chirruped, pointing at the row of sleek dresses in front of her. "Um…" Janice was a little hesitant. Even though she knew that these clothes would not be cheap and that her wallet would probably not be able to handle the price tag, she was still a woman at heart and longed to try these beautiful pieces on.
This was way out of her budget. "I don't think it's that special. Never mind. Let's go check out some other store…" Janice handed the clothes back to the salesgirl after changing out of them. The smile froze on the salesgirl's face as disappointment seeped through her heart. She hoped that a few of the items would catch Janice's attention, but on second thought, Janice was a gorgeous woman, and it was not surprising if Janice was considerably pickier when it came to fashion. At this thought, the salesgirl's face lit up as an idea popped into her head. She strode over to a clothing rack on the other side of the room and announced, "Miss, there's a beautiful dress here in the store. It's the brainchild of one of the most famous fashion designers in this country. Its quality is unsurpassable when it comes to fabric or design, and is one of the most beautiful items we have on display in this store…" Leon and Janice turned to glance in her direction and came face-to-face with a
"Miss, please add this dress as well as the other clothes Janice has tried on to the bill! I'll take all of them!" Leon declared confidently. "Yes, Sir! I'll put it on your tab right now!" the salesgirl was absolutely over the moon. She quickly placed the clothes into a paper bag, the grin on her face so wide it was as though her cheeks would split apart at any moment. "Wait, miss! I don't want any of them…" Janice quickly stepped forward to stop her. "Janice, you look amazing in these clothes. Why would you not want them?" Leon was puzzled by this. "I…" Janice's face was red with embarrassment, but she could no longer hide her humiliation. She whispered to him, "I don't have that much money…" "No money?" the color drained from the salesgirl's face. She thought Leon was a wealthy man from how generously he acted just now, but now, she seemed to come to the realization that these two fooled her all along! "Sir, do you still want these clothes?" she asked, the smile froz
Janice's face was etched with worry, hoping that Leon would take her advice and snap out of this before it was too late. Leon did not know how to react to this. He could tell that Janice misunderstood the nature of his job, but he knew that she just tried to help, so he did not try to go against her. "Alright, I promise I won't do it again," he said, smiling. The only reason he got into the business was that he tried to establish the Energy Convergence Circle, and he knew that this industry was not what it seemed on the outside; if he were to get involved even more and other people discovered that he was able to sense the rocks' spiritual energy, the consequences would be dire! If that happened, he could not even guarantee his safety. Therefore, that was the first and last time he ever attempted to gamble on gemstones, and he never once hoped this business would bring him wealth. "That's good." Janice was relieved to hear this. A split second later, however, she seemed t
