Chapter 170
"That's strict," Kimberly commented.
Vera rolled her eyes at her and said, "Please, otherwise, how do you think the Yardley familyestablished the greatest company in North City? It guarantees that the consumers get the best andthe most authentic products when they shop there."
Kimberly muttered, "No wonder it earns tens of millions of dollars in profit per month, even duringthe offseason..."
Vera couldn't hear clearly and asked, "What? What do you mean by making a profit of tens ofmillions of dollars?"
"Nothing." Kimberly came to her senses and responded, "Let's go and have a look. By the way, thethings here are not cheap. Are you really going to spend so much money on a dress just for theparty?"
Kimberly still remembered the incident the last time where she had ruined a skirt that was worth300,000 dollars.
One had to be filthy rich to buy a dress worth hundreds of thousands of dollars for an event.
"Hmm, I think it is worth it. At this age, girls should dress up nicely. Otherwise, when we grow older,we will be laughed at if we dress up. Besides, we will feel sorry for not enjoying ourselves when weare younger," Vera answered. Then, the two entered a store. Vera knew it very well. She enteredthe store and told the staff what she wanted.
She said, "Excuse me, my friend and I have a budget of 50,000 dollars. We wish to get a fewdresses that are chic and bright in color. Thank you."
The staff did not show ant disdain when Vera told her the budget. She soon brought them to a smallsection in the store.
Then she said, "Hello, ladies. These items should meet your requirements. You can take a look atthem. There is a fitting room next to you. Please don't hesitate to call me if you need any help."
Vera nodded, "Okay, thank you. We'll have a look first."
The staff then left quietly. Vera curled her lips and said, "See? Even the staff are specially trained.She is very polite."
Kimberly was speechless and thought to herself, "Why didn't I meet such a good-mannered staff thelast time? Turns out there are bad ones amongst the good, but that girl should have changed herattitude by now."
Vera called after her, "Come and look at this one. This blue dress will look good on you, it fits yourtemperament."novelbin
Kimberly's smile was a little stiff as she replied, "I am not going to buy a dress. You can helpyourself."
Hearing this, Vera was slightly disappointed. She stared at Kimberly and asked, "Why? Do you notwant to join the party?" "No," Kimberly shook her head. She was not interested in such anextravagant event.
Also, she couldn't afford to buy a skirt or put on a beauty show.
She would rather stay in the company or at home.
"D*mn it. If you don't want to join, what's the point of me going alone?" Vera was unhappy and shepouted.
Kimberly smiled faintly and said, "I'm different from you. You are so beautiful and so energetic. Ifyou go there, you may really find your Mr. Right."
Vera's face brightened when she heard Kimberly mentioned 'Mr. Right'.
"Alright. Wait for me. I'll try on the dress," Vera said as she went into the fitting room happily.
Kimberly organized her notes as she waited for Vera to try on the dresses. From time to time, Verawould come to ask her opinion on each of the dresses. Vera was in good shape. She had fair skinand a sweet-looking appearance. Kimberly thought that she looked good in any dress.
When they finally finished shopping, they bumped into Benedict as they left the mall.
"It's Vice President Yardley!" Vera nervously grabbed at her sleeve and said, "I didn't expect to meethim here! Hey, he's coming towards us!"
Upon hearing this, Kimberly was stunned. Benedict?
Just as Kimberly lifted her head, she saw Benedict heading towards them with his usual gentlesmile on his face. He looked particularly noble and friendly. "Why are you girls here?" Benedictasked them, but his eyes unconsciously fell on Kimberly's face.
Meeting him again, Kimberly felt embarrassed. She was under a lot of pressure after Benedict hadgiven her the card of 300,000 dollars. She did not want to see him now. All she wanted to do wasmake the money and quickly pay him back. She did not want to feel the pressure anymore.
Vera replied, "We are here to buy a dress. Why are you here?"
Benedict replied with a smile, "I'm also here to buy things. Looks like you're done shopping. Whereare you going? Shall I send you off?"
Vera said, "That'd be great! I'm going home. Thank you."
"It's not a big deal," replied Benedict.
Vera was about to get into Benedict's car while pulling Kimberly along, but Kimberly let go of herhand and stood motionless. Vera turned around and looked at her strangely.
Kimberly said, "I still have matters to attend to. Please send Vera back first. I will go back on myown later."
Vera widened her eyes and looked at her incredulously.
Her gaze was as though she was questioning Kimberly and indicating that this was a goodopportunity.
Benedict's eyes dimmed a little, but he said nothing.
On the contrary, Vera blurted, "What's the matter? Why didn't you say anything just now when wewere shopping? What is it about?"
Kimberly looked at her helplessly and said, "I really have something to do. I have just thought of it."
She truly wasn't lying. There was indeed a matter she had just remembered.
"Really?" Vera stared at her suspiciously.
Kimberly was even more embarrassed when Vera kept questioning her. With the last strand ofdignity, she answered, "It's true. You guys can leave first. I'll go now."
After that, Kimberly turned around and left without waiting for their response.
Vera stared at her figure gloomily as Kimberly walked away. She wondered what had happened.
When Vera looked at Benedict, she noticed his gaze following Kimberly until she was out of theirsight. Only then did he withdrew his gaze slowly. He didn't even have the time to hide his emotion.
"You and Kimberly seem to have met each other before. What is your relationship with her?" Veraasked curiously.
Benedict smiled slightly and replied, "Didn't you say you want to go home? Let's go. I'll send you."
Vera stuck out her tongue and muttered, "I can tell that the person you want to fetch home isn't me.Now that the person has left, I don't dare to take your car anymore."
Benedict said, "It doesn't matter. You are her good friend, I don't mind." That sentence revealed a lotof information. Vera tilted her head and said, "Are you perhaps pursuing Kimberly?"
Hearing this, Benedict smiled and did not reply to her question.
Vera couldn't help but gasped, "F*ck, did I guess it right? Are you really pursuing Kimberly? Butshe..." It seemed to her that Kimberly was not interested in Benedict. She wondered if Kimberly hadrejected him.
"Let's go," Benedict said. He didn't answer her, but he didn't deny it either. He simply turned aroundand walked to the parking lot.
Vera followed him and asked further, "Ae you really pursuing Kimberly? Do you want me to callKimberly back here for you? It's very awkward for me to get in your car alone!"
"It doesn't matter." Benedict turned around and said, "Just take it as a bribe."
