Chapter 47: Meet Again

The man didn't get his attention earlier, after his domineering voice echoed in the store, Regan shifted aside, and looked towards the man approaching them.

He raised his eyebrows in askance, the store attendant was conflicted, he looked at the man and then at Regan, doing a mental evaluation of the both of them.

He realized Regan dressed poorly, whereas the man looked posh and rich, he turned to the man “Sir, do you like the hat?” he asked.

Fat Jo nodded “I want to buy it” he said and reached out for the hat, he took it from the store attendant, gave Regan a hostile look and went with the hat.

Regan chuckled lowly, and picked another hat, fat Jo grunted, and came over, repeating the same action, Regan picked over twenty hats, and he snatched it all, ready to pay for all.

The store attendant looked at the hat's collection, and realized he has gone unavailable already,

his body trembled in excitement “honey, I think, this is too much, what do you want to do with all these hats?” she whined, giving fat Jo a plea look.

She realized he was bullying Regan purposely, all these while, Regan maintained his cool, he ignored the hostility, and picked another hat, fat Jo took it from him.

He folded his arms and turned to the store attendant, “see he likes the hats, let him pay for them”

He told the attendant, who was overly excitement, and the thought of commissions from the sales, made his body tremble a bit.

“Ye…s ye…s” he stuttered, and scurried off, Regan and Fat Jo, merely exchanged looks that spoke volumes, none of them spoke any words to each other.

Fat Jo gritted his teeth, after seeing the numerous hats, he had snatched from Regan, without looking at the price tags

“Honey, can we just leave all these hats, I would rather not shop anymore” the lady he was with, tried to persuade him.

He stared at Regan seeing the smug look, and the way Regan looked at him like a clown infuriated him the more “no!” he snapped, and stood his ground.

The store attendant returned with a transaction machine, “sir, cash, or transfer?” he said, with shining eyes like a sea of stars.

Fat Jo forced out the word in between gritted teeth “transfer,” quickly, the store attendant did summation of the goods he bought, and licked his lips.

“Four a hundred thousand dollars, sir” he told Fat Jo, who immediately stiffen, and began to sweat all of a sudden, Regan seeing his reaction said “you don't have the money? Why are then you around, pretty girl, and throwing your weights around?”

The lady with Fat Jo squirmed with excitement when Regan referred her as a beauty, her face heated, Fat Jo felt insulted “I have the money” he spoke, and made the transaction.

Regan strode off and took another hat, he returned, and showed it to the store attendant “I want to buy this

” he said, and poked a finger at the hat, Fat Jo hesitated before snatching it from him “I will buy it” he said, with determination.

Regan shrugged and picked another hat, Fat Jo didn't realize a car just pulled over at the boutique, a fat woman, jostled into the boutique, looking furious.

He watched with amusement when he saw the fat woman discussing with Fat Jo "you can also pay for that now” he said, and nod towards the store attendant, who instantly hand over the transaction machine to Fat Jo.

He did the transaction “Jo!” a voice called his name from behind, he cocked his neck towards the direction of the voice, and the blood on his face drained immediately, his eyes bulged, he felt uneasy.

The fat woman's feet padded on the floor, as she alternated her gaze and the younger lady trying to hide behind Fat Jo “I will pay for this” Regan bought one of the hats, and strode off.

“Jo, why did you use so much money to buy…” her head snapped when she saw a lady clung to her husband, “who is she?” pointing at the lady beside Fat Jo.

Beads of sweat gathered on Fat Jo head, he smiled sheepishly, trying to maintain a composed physique “oh- she, umm…m…” he stuttered a bit, and stepped away from her, and pointed at the store attendant “his girlfriend” he lied.

A big frown enmeshed the fat woman's face, she shot the terrified lady a look, and snorted “so, you are the one messing around with my husband, huh?”

Fat Jo tried to sneak away, but the lady clung to him in fear, Regan chuckled after having enough of the show, he came out of the boutique, and duff the hat on his head, appearing smart.

He decided to get a coat he saw on a store across the road, he paid for it, and wore it while coming out, he stumbled on someone “what th…” before she could complete her statement, she got a glimpse of the man's face, she bumped into.

“You!” she remembered him, the man who made fun of her in the auction night, she snapped “are you blind? You always go about ruining people's day, nuisance” she decried.

Two intimidating figures stood before her, they were cracking their fists, and making some fight like gestures, amused by her reaction, Regan responded “you should start walking with your two eyes seeing”

“Oh my goodness!” she exclaimed, and furiously pointed a figure at Regan's face, the security guard saw the two of them arguing, they have attracted attention already.

“Miss, sir, is anything the problem? We are a reputable brand, we can't allow such ruckus here, it wi…”

“Shut up!” the lady hushed the security man, who frowned feeling aggrieved, Regan looked on, across the road, Fat Jo was dragged out like a thief from the boutique, by his domineering wife.

“Tsk! Tsk! Poor miser” he commented, the lady glared at Regan, wondering what he had his attention on, looking back, the frown on her face deepened.
