Chapter 41
Tobias' suggestive question made Queenie's heart pound.
What did Tobias mean? Could it be...
Queenie suppressed the ecstasy in her heart and replied, "Yes, Mr. Whitlock, I think it's very sexy. Do you want me to wear it for you tonight?"
Natalie's blood was boiling from exasperation. Queenie was seducing Tobias publicly and there were so many people around. How could she be so shameless?
"How much stock do you have now? I mean, in the whole country." Tobias suddenly asked the shop assistant.
It was the first time the shop assistant had ever seen such a handsome man. She blushed and replied, "About a hundred sets. We always prioritize quality over quantity. The manufacturer will only produce a limited number of our designer lingerie but I don't know the exact number."
"Call the manufacturer. I'll buy every single one of this set," Tobias instructed flatly.
The shop assistant called the other shops hurriedly and had them send over their remaining stocks.
Meanwhile, Queenie's heart was beating wildly.
What was Tobias doing? Was he going to give her all the 'Spring' lingerie available when he heard that she liked it? However, there were too many sets of the same lingerie. Tobias could buy some other lingerie with different designs for her!
The shop assistant calculated the price and reported back to Tobias with the figure.
The shop assistant's voice was too soft, so Natalie did not hear it clearly.
Tobias took out a golden card and handed it to the shop assistant.
"Every single set of the lingerie is all here? Others would not be able to buy them elsewhere, right?" Tobias asked.
The shop assistant nodded and answered, "Don't worry, sir. How should we inform you when the rest of the lingerie arrives?"
"There's no need to inform me," Tobias concluded placidly, "Burn them all once you get your hands on them."
Queenie was utterly shocked.
Her face was extremely pale when she came back to her senses.
Tobias gave Natalie a meaningful look before heading out the shop. Natalie understood what he meant and hurried after him.
It was a good slap in the face!
She was overjoyed to see Queenie's face. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Why did you suddenly intervene just now? You're so cool." Natalie was trying to flatter him.
She admired Tobias for what he just did. What a genius! He just gave Queenie a good slap in the face discreetly. Queenie must be exasperated at the moment.
"I suddenly recalled that I didn't give you the card before you went in, so there's no way you could pay the bill." Tobias ignored Natalie's flattery and his voice was still indifferent.
Natalie wanted to continue complimenting Tobias for being so awesome earlier. However, she decided not to bring it up after noticing his disinterested look.
After the fiasco, it was getting late. Boulevard Shopping Mall was closing soon.
Tobias bought Natalie several sets of clothes in some other shops before returning to the apartment.
"Why didn't you call me when you were bullied?" Tobias suddenly asked on the way back.
"I forgot that you were outside," Natalie laughed awkwardly.
"I can see that you barely notice me." Tobias' tone was still flat.
"How is that possible? It's extremely rare to see such a charming and good- looking guy like you. How could I not notice you? Didn't you see how Queenie gawked at you?"
Natalie was delighted when she brought it up.
Queenie even assumed that Tobias wanted to buy all the lingerie for her. Natalie was about to burst into laughter at the thought of this.
Suddenly, Tobias asked, "Is that woman your sister?" "Yeah, why? Do you think it's bad for me to gloat when my own sister embarrassed herself?" Natalie continued, "I don't think you'll sympathize with her if you knew that she's been bullying me since we were children."
