Chapter 58 A Tie for Bennett
Chapter 58 A Tie for Bennett
The gift Claire had prepared for her boyfriend was a customized tie.
The tie was dark gray and had a good texture.
The edge was slightly dotted with tiny diamonds, elegant and dignified, but not high-profile. At a glance,
it could be seen that it was valuable.
"Does it look good?" Claire asked Catalina.
"Very good."
Catalina was telling the truth.
Somehow, looking at the tie in Claire's hand, the first person she thought of was actually Bennett.
She just felt that the tie would fit Bennett perfectly.
She couldn't help but ask, "How much is it?"
Claire looked back at her with a strange look and joked with a smile, "What? Do you want to buy one
for your husband, too?"
"...No, I don't."
Catalina quickly denied it, and her face slightly flushed. "I'm just asking."
"Miss, this tie is worth 600 thousand dollars."
Catalina couldn't believe what she had heard.
She hadn't expected a tie to be so expensive.
Catalina even thought she had misheard.
She said in her heart, "You must be kidding me!
I shouldn't have asked that question."
Claire seemed to see Catalina's thoughts and said with a smile, "Although it's expensive, it's designed
by a famous Dodgewich OSC master. It is high-end customized, and there are only two such ties
globally."
Catalina naturally could not understand such fashions among the upper classes, and she had never
paid much attention to the famous designers mentioned by Claire. She only caught two key points. One
was that the tie was very expensive, and the other was that it was globally limited.
"Only such a tie is good enough to match my boyfriend."
Claire spoke proudly and then handed the tie to the shopping guide. "Please wrap it up for me, thank
you."
"Okay."
The shopping guide respectfully took the tie over with both hands.
Catalina couldn't help but think, "Who is Claire's boyfriend?
If he really deserves a tie worth 600 thousand dollars, then he must be a big shot!"
"Lina."
"What?"
"Have you ever heard the connotation of ties?" Claire asked Catalina.
"Is there a connotation of ties?"
"Of course. There are many explanations for this. A man's tie is equal to a woman's shackles. Once a
man puts on the tie you buy for him, it means that he is willing to put on the shackles for you. From that
moment, his eyes and his heart will be full of you. How about that? Isn't it romantic?"
"...I have never heard of such a thing."
Catalina looked at the eye-catching tie wall in front of her, and suddenly a terrible idea came to her
mind.
She thought, "If I buy a tie for Bennett...
Stop!
What am I thinking?"
Catalina immediately swept away the chaotic thoughts in her mind.
She said to herself again, "Bennett will never like the gifts I buy for him, especially such a personal
item!
I must be crazy!"
"Lina, what are you looking at? Do you want to buy one for your husband, too?"
Claire seemed to have read Catalina's thoughts.
"What? No."
Catalina shook her head hurriedly and was a bit embarrassed.
"If you want, just buy it! These are not high-end customized. They are not very expensive. Just have a
look!" Claire encouraged her.
Catalina, who had thought she was crazy to have this idea, hesitated again under Claire's
encouragement.
About a quarter of an hour later, she selected a lead-gray tie from the tie wall.
"This one then!"
Although it was not as elegant and classy as the high-end one Claire had bought for her boyfriend, it
had a mature color. Catalina felt that it would be quite suitable for Bennett to wear to work.
"Okay, Miss, I'll wrap it up for you."
"Wait."
Catalina stopped the shopping guide and asked, "How much is it?"
"This one is not expensive. It only costs 30 thousand dollars."
Hearing that, Catalina was stunned for a moment.
She couldn't help but roast in her heart, "Only 30 thousand dollars?
It's just a tie, and it is actually worth 30 thousand dollars?"
Catalina felt a little sorry for her money.
However, she suddenly remembered the 200 thousand dollars she had previously received from
Bennett. She thought, "I spent 100 thousand dollars on Grandma's surgery, and I still have 100
thousand left in my bank account. Therefore, it's righteous to use his money to buy him a tie.
Just take it as my gratitude for his paying the hospitalization fee for Grandma.
Also, he bought me a pack of sanitary pads last time."
Thinking of this, Catalina calmed down a lot.
She said to herself in her mind, "Yes, I just want to thank him. I absolutely don't mean anything else."
Then Catalina took out her bank card from her backpack. "Please wrap it up for me, thank you."
"Okay, Ms. Grant. This way, please."
"OK."
...
At the Sophora Villa.
In Catalina's bedroom.
With the ugly doll that Bennett had given her in her arms and the box of candy he had bought for her in
her hands, Catalina nestled on the sofa, seriously talking to the ugly doll.
"Little guy, do you think I should give this gift to him or not?"
Catalina shook the box of apple candy she could not bear to eat.
The candy rolled inside the box, making a crashing sound.
"You think I should give him?"
Catalina hesitated. "He will definitely not like it. Moreover, will he not despise this tie? After all, it only
cost $30,000. Think about it. The tie that Claire bought for her boyfriend cost 600 thousand. The one I
bought was 20 times cheaper than the one she bought. Therefore, Bennett will definitely despise it.
Besides, with his weird personality, I'm afraid his first reaction after receiving the tie from me is to throw
it into the trash can!"
When Catalina spoke of this, she somewhat wussed out.
She compressed her lips and said, "I don't know if this tie can be refunded. After all, it cost $30,000!
That's a lot of money, isn't it?
"Do you still think I should give it to him? Then I'll reconsider it."
Catalina mumbled to herself, and after pretending to be reconsidering it for a moment, she nodded.
"Okay, then I'll give it to him! Anyway, it's just a thank-you gift, and I don't mean anything else, do I?
Therefore, I don't have to be guilty."
Just as Catalina was chatting happily with the ugly doll, she suddenly saw a noble figure, who was
surrounded by servants, pass over the antique long bridge and stride towards the Lake Compound.
Catalina immediately jumped up from the sofa.
After throwing down the doll and the box of candy in her hands, she quickly took her down coat from
the hanger, picked up the tie box from the long table, and stuffed it into the big pocket of her coat. After
that, she hurried out of the bedroom.
She did all this in less than fifteen seconds.
She put her hands into the pockets of her down coat and walked towards Bennett, pretending to be
relaxed.
Seeing that Bennett was about to enter the Lake Compound, Catalina hurriedly craned her neck and
stopped him, "Bennett!"
Bennett stopped walking and turned to look at her.
Catalina quickly ran forward and then jumped up to him.
She was as lively as a child.
Anyone could tell that she was in a great mood.
Bennett, one hand in his pocket, looked at the girl who had suddenly rushed in front of him with a
complicated gaze.
The little bun on the back of her head, following her bouncing movements, swayed slightly and looked
cute.
Bennett's deep amber eyes were suddenly suffused with some unknown emotion.
"Good evening, Mrs. Shaffer."
The servants behind Bennett respectfully greeted Catalina and then withdrew a few steps to leave
them alone.
"Good evening, guys."novelbin
Catalina greeted back politely.
Bennett looked down at her and asked, "What's up?"
