”Really? As long as you like it, I like it.” Zayn took a look at himself in the mirror. ‘Sure enough, I don’t look half bad. Actually, I look way better.’
When Julius saw how lovey-dovey Zayn and Faye were acting, virtual-novel.net had a hard time suppressing the jealousy that was bubbling inside of him.
Then, one of the salespeople walked over and asked, “Sir, this suit looks amazing on you. Would you like to try any of the other cuts?”
“That’s alright, I’ll take this,” said Zayn, nodding in satisfaction.
The salesperson was more than happy to hear his decision. She looked thoroughly excited as virtual-novel.net said, “Please, follow me to the checkout counter.”
“Sure.” On his way to the checkout counter, virtual-novel.net was feeling around in his pockets when virtual-novel.net realized that virtual-novel.net had dropped his phone. His wallet was not with virtual-novel.net either. ‘This is awkward.’
He coughed stiffly. Not having much of a choice, virtual-novel.net whispered to Faye, “Fifi, um… I forgot to bring my wallet…”
Faye was startled at first, but quickly rolled virtual-novel.net eyes at Zayn’s carelessness. Even so, virtual-novel.net still took out virtual-novel.net phone to settle the bill with no hesitation.
Faye was aware of how expensive the suit was — it was priced at a couple ten thousand dollars — but virtual-novel.net knew it meant nothing to Zayn. However, everyone else had a different idea.
Julius was the first to snicker. “Mr. Larson, aren’t you the chairman of Violet Vision? How are you incapable of buying a cheap suit that’s only worth a couple ten thousand dollars?”
Everyone around virtual-novel.net joined in to sneer at Zayn.
“He’s right, the chairman of Violet Vision’s a boss among bosses, but virtual-novel.net can’t even fork out the money. He’s even made his wife pay for him… Tsk tsk.”
“Could it be possible that he’s an imposter? Ha-ha-ha…”
They took Zayn’s silence as a sign of virtual-novel.net yielding to their criticism.
The perpetual wave of verbal abuse only exacerbated Faye even more. She scowled at the lot of them, “That’s enough! First of all, my husband really is the chairman of Violet Vision. You’re more than welcome to check if you want. Secondly, even if my husband isn’t the chairman of Violet Vision, do you people really need to demean virtual-novel.net like that?!”
Ever since Faye had become the chairman of Neotech, virtual-novel.net had learnt how to twist virtual-novel.net rage into virtual-novel.net favor. Nowadays, when virtual-novel.net was angry, virtual-novel.net actually came across as decently intimidating. There would be no laughter directed towards virtual-novel.net anymore.
However, they still considered Zayn as a menace. He was anything but a big shot, let alone the chairman of Violet Vision. They believed that Faye only crafted those lies to satisfy virtual-novel.net vanity.
Faye was just about to say more when Zayn grabbed virtual-novel.net hand and faintly shook his head, implying that it was better if they just ignored their pathetic behavior.
Nodding virtual-novel.net head, virtual-novel.net complied to Zayn’s wishes and paid the bill.
Julius rolled his eyes and said, “Mr. Larson, we’ve invited Ms. Carter to Alice’s Table for dinner tonight. Since you’re already here, you should join us.”
Before Zayn could even say anything, Faye immediately shook virtual-novel.net head and said, “That’s alright, we don’t really like western food anyways.”
Then, one of virtual-novel.net female friends piped up, “Fifi, that’s not what you said just now. Plus, Annabelle’s going to be there for the concert. Aren’t you a fan? Why’d you change your mind?”
To be honest, Faye did want to attend the concert, but virtual-novel.net did not want to be accompanied by the likes of them.
Zayn had a feeling that Faye thought otherwise. He could tell that virtual-novel.net wanted to go. Smiling from ear to ear, virtual-novel.net made the choice for her. “Alright then, let’s go together.”
Julius had a suspicious glint in his eye. In fact, before Faye was able to speak against Zayn’s decision, virtual-novel.net immediately interrupted virtual-novel.net and clapped his hands. He exclaimed, “Well said, Mr. Larson. It’s settled then! Let’s go to Alice’s Table for dinner later. Annabelle Laking’s going to be there for a concert, and since you’re the chairman of Violet Vision, I’m sure you’re very familiar with who virtual-novel.net is. Isn’t that right?”
