Josie preferred the traditional gold and immediately tried it on. Although she couldn’t afford it, as a sales associate herself, she knew she couldn’t show any signs of hesitation at this moment; she had to be confident since trying it on didn’t cost anything.
Layla, however, hesitated a bit. After all, over fifty thousand was not a small amount.
But she also knew she couldn’t back down now; otherwise, it would be embarrassing. So, she picked up the rose gold bracelet. Compared to the gold one, she indeed preferred this color; it wasn’t as flashy as gold and felt more textured.
“How does it look, Layla?” Josie shook her wrist with the bracelet on, her face full of smiles.
“Beautiful,” Layla nodded. Putting the price aside, this bracelet was indeed quite beautiful. Although it somewhat imitated Cartier’s design elements, it didn’t detract from its aesthetic appeal.
But the problem was, how could she ignore the price? Over fifty thousand!
Layla’s average monthly salary was around ten thousand, meaning she would have to save for half a year without eating or drinking to afford this bracelet.
“What are you two looking at?”
At that moment, Ryan walked over with an LV shopping bag, beaming with joy. He had just bought a belt for over five thousand.
“Ryan, what did you buy?” Josie asked in surprise upon seeing the shopping bag. She didn’t expect him to actually make a purchase so soon after entering the store.
“A belt, just over five thousand. I think it’s quite a good deal,” Ryan replied with a smile, then glanced at Jacob, hoping to see a shocked expression on the delivery guy’s face. After all, a belt was almost equivalent to a month’s salary for him.
However, Jacob remained calm, as if he hadn’t heard what he said.
Ryan felt a bit disappointed and couldn’t help but silently complain: Dude, you’re not being fair! You were so good at bantering during dinner, almost rivaling, but now you’ve gone mute!
Sensing the eager gaze from this younger brother, Jacob probably guessed his thoughts and cooperated, saying, “Over five thousand for a belt? That’s way too expensive!”
Jacob had a good impression of this younger lad, who only had three segments of bravado. Although he pretended to show off, he didn’t try to put him down, so Jacob chose to help him out once more.
After all, he might accidentally hurt him later.
Ryan didn’t expect this delivery guy to be so cooperative, and a bright smile immediately appeared on his face. His gaze fell on Layla again, wanting to see his goddess’s reaction, but her attention was completely on her wrist.
The rose gold bracelet was small and exquisite, a perfect match for her slender, fair wrist.
“Layla, this bracelet really suits you!” Ryan exclaimed, then turned to the sales associate and asked, “Miss, how much is this bracelet?”
“Sir, this is the latest model from the Exploration series, currently priced at fifty-six thousand dollars.”
The sales associate replied with a smile.
However, the smile on Ryan’s face vanished.
Fifty-six thousand for a bracelet!
He felt it was unnecessary to ask.
“Ryan, you’re not really going to buy this bracelet for Layla, are you?” Josie said with a smile.
She and Ryan were about the same age, both in a stage of wanting to show off, and Ryan had been subtly trying to show off since dinner.
Josie, a gold-digger who studied men all day, had long seen through his little tricks but was too lazy to call him out.
Now that Ryan had bought a belt for over five thousand and was trying to show off again while dragging her to support him, Josie couldn’t hold back and precisely shot him down.
In her heart, she silently complained: What level are you at, trying to show off in front of my old baby?
He drives a luxury car worth over a million and has always been low-key. Then look at you, all you do is show off and lay the groundwork for your pretentiousness, but you don’t really have that kind of capital.
So, true big shots are very low-key, just like my old baby Jacob!
“Uh…”
“If Layla likes it, of course, I can buy it.” Ryan was momentarily stunned, then forced himself to reply.
“This bracelet really suits this lady!”
At that moment, the sales associate quickly interjected. She had seen many scenes like this; there were plenty of sycophants who bought things just for the sake of face, and she wouldn’t think about the wallets of sycophants.
Who told you to be a sycophant? You deserve to boost your sales.
After saying that, the sales associate looked at Ryan with anticipation, but this sycophant clearly lacked financial power. After their eyes met, he immediately looked away and pulled out his phone: “Sorry, I need to take a call.”
