This didn’t even account for unexpected situations and social costs, and a five-thousand monthly salary was considered average for ordinary workers. So a handbag worth over twenty thousand was indeed a luxury for them.
“Layla, you’re already shopping at Prada? I’m so envious!”
Monica naturally saw the Prada shopping bag in Layla’s hand. She was the kind of person who was direct and cheerful, immediately putting down her chopsticks to express her feelings.
“It was a gift from Mr. Jacob,” Layla replied lightly.
But this sentence dealt a critical blow to Lilian! What kind of wealthy customer did she recommend to Layla? Just casually giving a gift starts at Prada!
Lilian couldn’t help but hum a tune in her mind: If I could start over, I would choose Jacob. “What did Mr. Jacob give you?”
“Accessories, clothes, or a bag?” Monica curiously asked.
She also asked the question Mira was concerned about. Although Prada items were expensive, scarves, hats, or some accessories were relatively cheaper.
This could also show how wealthy Mr. Jacob was.
“A handbag,” Layla replied truthfully.
Girls all have vanity, and Layla was no exception. She knew that Lilian had hostility towards her because of Raphael, and she was aware that she and Mira often gossiped about her privately, occasionally throwing in some sarcastic remarks.
At this moment, it was also a form of retaliation, especially since Jacob was recommended to her by Lilian.
“Wow, it’s actually a handbag! Can I take a look?”
“I’ve passed by Prada several times but never dared to go in.”
Without a doubt, Monica was a great supporter, and with her efforts, the atmosphere was instantly elevated, so Layla didn’t even need to speak.
Mira and Lilian also wanted to see, after all, it was a Prada item.
“Let’s go to the lounge to take a look.”
Layla didn’t refuse. Being envied was quite a pleasant thing, especially since two of the three had some hostility towards her.
“Yeah, there’s no place to unpack here,” Monica nodded repeatedly. The bar had two computers and various office supplies, and the remaining space was occupied by the takeout the three had ordered.
So the four women went into the lounge together. Layla handed the shopping bag to Monica, who eagerly took out the dust bag containing the handbag and carefully opened it. The ivory-white handbag appeared before the four of them.
“Wow, it’s so beautiful!”
“This seems to be a new model. I saw it in the window when I passed by Prada!”
Buzzville City was nearby, and Monica often went shopping, so she recognized it at a glance as a new product displayed in the window.
“The style is quite nice.”
Mira praised, but inside, she was extremely jealous and silently dissed Lilian, her plastic friend, a thousand times.
What a high-quality customer to recommend to Layla! If it had been recommended to her, the hundred private coaching sessions and the Prada handbag would have all been hers.
At this moment, Lilian felt a mix of jealousy and regret. She didn’t even want to say a word of praise and was silently calculating how to build a good relationship with this Mr. Jacob in the future!
Layla had taken Raphael away from her, and she wanted to take someone from Layla too.
“Layla, don’t be fooled!”
“Many scumbags nowadays buy fakes to give as gifts. I suggest you go to the Prada store in Buzzville City to have it authenticated!”
At this moment, a man’s voice suddenly sounded behind the four women.
They were all familiar with this voice; it was Ethan Gab, the personal training supervisor at GetFit Fitness Center.
He had come to the lounge to get some water and happened to overhear the four women’s conversation. Ethan was also one of Layla’s pursuers, and seeing someone give such an expensive gift to Layla naturally made him uncomfortable.
“Layla, nowadays, these scumbags have deep tricks; you have to be cautious!”
Seeing that Layla didn’t respond, Ethan added earnestly.
“Mr. Ethan, this bag was bought at the Prada store in Buzzville City!” Monica revealed the truth, not wanting the personal training supervisor to lose face.
“Uh…”
“I see.”
Ethan’s mouth twitched. Feeling embarrassed, he tried to cover up: “Whether it’s sincere or not can’t be measured by what gifts are given; it depends on whether he truly treats you well!”
What he said sounded reasonable, but the four women present were no longer naive girls; they couldn’t swallow this nonsense.
You can’t measure sincerity by gifts; if you don’t even give gifts, what’s the point!

On Car-dealer Road, there are many 4S dealerships, which are famous car sales centers in Coastville.
A few years ago, the Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class dealership was on the verge of closing down, but with the increasing popularity of electric vehicles in recent years, Mercedes-Benz, which has accumulated a wealth of technology in battery and electric drive systems, has experienced a huge boom, selling 3 million vehicles last year—a figure that was unimaginable before.
