So when he heard Mira say she would end her single status if someone gifted her something, this guy, who was quite the catch in Mira’s pond, was very excited.
“Mr. Adam, are you going to gift me one?” Mira looked at him with a smile.
“As long as it’s something you like, I must gift it,” Mr. Adam said grandly, waving his hand.
“Great, it’s this bracelet.”
Mira took Monica’s phone and showed him the LV bracelet from Layla’s Moments.
Mr. Adam immediately noticed the cleverly embedded LV logo on the bracelet, and his confidence weakened a bit, but he still said stubbornly, “It’s just a bracelet, I can gift it to you.”
“Mr. Adam, aren’t you going to ask how much this bracelet costs?”
Since she was somewhat familiar with him due to his constant flattery towards Mira, Lilian chimed in.
“As long as Mira likes it, that’s all that matters,” Mr. Adam replied, appearing unconcerned about money, but still casually asked, “How much is it?”
“Just over fifty thousand. For Mr. Adam, that’s just pocket change,” Mira replied with a smile, lifting Mr. Adam’s spirits.
However, upon hearing the price, Mr. Adam’s mouth twitched noticeably. He had thought it would only be around twenty thousand, and he could manage that, but he never expected it to be over fifty thousand, which far exceeded his mental budget.
“An LV bracelet, well, it is worth that price!”
After a brief moment of shock, Mr. Adam nodded and waved at Mira, “Mira, I’m leaving now. Let’s keep in touch on WhatsApp.”
With that, Adam quickly walked out of the gym.
Mira shook her head lightly. She actually understood Adam’s financial situation and knew he would find it hard to afford it, but she had just been trying to lift his spirits, thinking, what if he got carried away?
But the reality proved that for ordinary people, if something costs around twenty thousand, they might impulsively swipe their credit card, but for something over fifty thousand, it wasn’t just a matter of getting carried away!
“Adam really knows how to put on a show, saying he would gift it as long as Mira likes it.”
“But as soon as he heard the price, he didn’t even dare to mention it!” Lilian scoffed.
“It’s mainly too expensive. How can a bracelet cost over fifty thousand? That’s ridiculous!” Monica exclaimed, then added, “I wonder what Mr. Jacob does for a living. In just a few days, he spent over a hundred thousand on Layla!”
“By the way, Monica, Mira, check out this video on Instagram!”
Lilian suddenly remembered an Instagram video she had just seen and wanted to show it to the two.
“Isn’t that Layla and Mr. Jacob?”
“That’s right, it’s them!”
Monica and Mira recognized that the two in the video were indeed Layla and Jacob.
“This Instagram video has over three hundred thousand likes and more than seventy thousand comments,” Monica remarked after glancing at the stats.
“Mr. Jacob is incredibly low-key, riding an electric bike,” Mira found it hard to believe.
“Because he was too low-key, I misjudged him the first time he came to the store!” Lilian said with regret.
At this moment, Mira’s mind was racing, and she thought of an opportunity to talk to Jacob. She picked up her thermos and entered the lounge but didn’t rush to get water. Instead, she found the video Lilian had just seen on Instagram, downloaded it, and forwarded it to Jacob.
This tea artist, who had over six levels of tea skills, had added Jacob on WhatsApp yesterday, but she hadn’t acted hastily because being too proactive might give a man the impression that she was cheap. So, even though she had decided to take the initiative, she needed to wait for the right moment.
And now that moment had come. After sending the video, she texted Jacob: “Mr. Jacob, the people in the video are you and Layla, right? You seem to have become an internet celebrity!”
When Jacob received the WhatsApp message, he had just dropped Macy off at the art studio. Many parents had already enrolled their children in various extracurricular classes at Macy’s age, and since Macy was interested in painting, Jacob had signed her up for a painting class, which had two sessions a week at fifty dollars per session—not too expensive.
The painting class lasted sixty minutes, and at that moment, Jacob was sitting in the parents’ lounge of the tutoring center. He opened the video Mira sent him and immediately recognized that the people in the video were, indeed, him and Layla.
Who has so much free time?
Just filming and posting it online! After watching the video, Jacob couldn’t help but silently complain.
At that moment, Mira sent another WhatsApp message: “Mr. Jacob, this video has over three hundred thousand likes. You should check it out on Instagram.”
