"I know, I know. He's your husband, and as your best friend, I will not steal him from you.""That's not what I mean ..." Summer meant to say that James was very unfriendly. Nothing good would come to any woman who got close to him.So, Summer was not worried that Kelly would take James away from her. Instead, she was worried about her best friend potentially getting hurt.Kelly was different from Simone, after all.In the past, when Summer and Hank were still together, Simone often intervened in their relationship as a third party. The latter was a typical scheming, back-stabbing snake who would do anything to achieve her own goals.Unlike Simone, Kelly would never try to steal someone else's man. She was a carefree girl with a slightly crass personality.Summer and Kelly had known each other for a long time and understood each other well. Summer trusted her very much, so she was certain that Kelly would never do anything to destroy her happiness.That morning, Summer took Kell
Kelly was visibly delighted when she saw the magnificent building. "As expected of a conglomerate! Come on, Summie. Let's go in for a tour."Summer was helplessly dragged along. She felt a little uneasy. The two of them were behaving like visitors from out of town, and she was afraid that he would be angry if he found out.Charlie reassured Summer that it was entirely appropriate for her to visit the company since she was the president's wife. But Summer was worried that their presence would disturb the employees' work.It was hard to imagine a group of people barging into your workplace, pointing their fingers, and poking their heads around. Anyone would have felt uncomfortable.Unexpectedly, when Summer stepped into the building, the employees warmly welcomed her. When everyone heard that she was visiting, they lined up to greet her.Both men and women dressed in formal attire dropped their tasks at hand to greet Summer. It was the same in every department they passed through.
"Why did you come to the company without telling me?""My friend wanted to visit, so I brought her here," Summer lowered her head and explained."You should have told me. Showing up so suddenly will affect the company's order."Summer understood what he meant. She had a special status, and a sudden visit would naturally attract the attention and curiosity of the employees, causing a stir like she had earlier.Realizing that she was at fault, Summer did not refute. She really had caused a lot of trouble. Besides, she knew this would happen. Everyone was curious about the president's young wife, so creating a sensation was unavoidable.The last time she came to deliver lunch to James, the company's employees weren't aware of her identity. They couldn't even believe that James was married.But now, having learned who Summer was, everyone paid close attention to everything she did. "I'm sorry, James." Summer had nothing to say except apologize.James didn't want to make things dif
The saleswoman noticed the customers and greeted them warmly, "You have great taste! This is the Angel Black handbag, created by a renowned designer. It suits you perfectly." "I think so too." Kelly nodded shamelessly. She had never bought a designer bag before despite being from an affluent family. While she usually wasn't materialistic, she wanted to let loose and be a little extravagant now that she was out with Summer.But when Kelly looked at the price tag, she was stunned to see it cost 30 thousand dollars, even a few months of her salary barely totaled up to 30 grand. Buying the bag meant she had to live frugally for several months. Upon the shocking realization, she couldn't afford it at all. "Summie, come here." Kelly waved Summer over."What's wrong?" Summer was confused as she approached."Look at the price."Summer wondered what could be wrong with the price, and she immediately panicked when she saw the price tag.Although she usually purchased branded items, th
300 grand. That was two years of salary for a white-collar worker who worked tirelessly without a moment of rest. Although Summer could afford it, she didn't dare to.Kelly also noticed the price, feeling petrified. To give herself a way out, she smiled and said to the saleswoman, "It looks ordinary.""Yeah," Summer added cooperatively. Being best friends, they could read each other's thoughts with just a glance. Seeing how expensive the handbag was, they both felt the urge to leave and made an excuse to escape.Quick-witted as ever, Kelly suddenly acted as if something had come to mind. She continued, "Oh, I just remembered. There's a package that I have to pick up at the post office. Come on, Summie. Let's go collect it.""Okay."Then, two of them promptly left the store with faces flushed with mortification. They had originally intended to have a good time shopping but were too financially constrained.Unexpectedly, as they walked out of the store, Kelly stumbled on the slippe
What an unlucky day. Summer had hoped to lift her spirits by going on a shopping spree, but she ended up empty-handed and even met with misfortune.Similarly, Kelly felt powerless. It was incredibly unlucky that she had slipped and fallen on her way out of the store. Now, she had to pay 100 grand for breaking the vase. Even if she could afford it, she didn't have enough money with her."How about this? I'll leave my business card here. Give me a few days, and I'll come back to pay the full price," Kelly negotiated, as she had no cash.The saleswoman spoke up before the manager could, "Blaire, they don't have the money to begin with. What use is there of leaving her contact information behind? They'll just leave without paying. "Blaire Wilson, the manager, thought so too. There were all sorts of people in this society, and she couldn't be sure whether Kelly would keep her word. After all, they weren't obligated to return if they left their contact details at the store."Miss, you
Regardless of her doubts, Blaire treated the card with caution and swiped it into the POS machine. Surprisingly, the payment was successful!The spending limit of a Golden Card was ten million dollars, so 100 grand was a small amount in comparison. It also proved that the card was genuine.Immediately after, Blaire became very frightened at the thought that she had offended the card's owner. Thus, she courteously returned it to Summer.Blaire's angry and disdainful expression from moments before was now replaced by one of deference. She handed over the card and uttered gently, "Miss, the compensation for the Celestial Jade Vase has been fulfilled. I'm sorry that this unpleasant incident happened to you in our store."Summer and Kelly, on the other hand, were equally baffled. Neither of them had expected that the card payment would be successful.Kelly had assumed the black card was just an ordinary card, but she had been proven wrong. She asked in amazement, "Summie, what is this
Nevertheless, Summer didn't have to worry about anything at this point. Kelly was her best friend, and friendship was more precious to Summer than any amount of money.So, they both bought the designer handbag that had caught Kelly's eye earlier.The saleswoman who had acted domineeringly a few moments before politely handed the shopping bags to Summer and Kelly with her head lowered. Her flattery undoubtedly made the two of them feel satisfied.As they made their way out of the store, Blaire and the saleswoman bid warmly, "Thank you, and please come again."At that moment, Summer and Kelly genuinely understood the power of having money.While walking down the street, Kelly remarked with a laugh, "Summie, did you see how confused the saleswoman looked just now? Haha!""Yeah, I saw."Both the saleswoman and Blaire, who thought that Summer and Kelly were poor, had their minds boggled at the sight of the Golden Card.However, Summer felt a sense of guilt after spending the money.
