Chapter 179 Tying Him Up
Donovan took out a card and handed it over, "It's my credit card's supplementary card. You can use it."
"Do I have to pay it back?" Chloe blinked and asked Donovan after a moment of thought.
"Since you don't want the five million, consider it my sponsorship." Chloe thought to herself, ‘It's almost payday anyway. Once I get her salary, I’ll be more comfortable. I can treat this credit card as an emergency fund.’
"What's the password? I'll jot it down." Chloe took out her phone, ready to record the password.
"000215."
"Does it have any special meaning? Let me try to memorize it." Chloe asked him.
After a moment of silence, Donovan said, "It's my birthday."
"Your birthday, I almost forgot about it." After a moment of silence, Chloe pretended.
In fact, she didn't forget at all; she simply didn't know. She was afraid that Donovan would mock her like last time for not knowing his age, so she naturally found a way to save face.
"Stop pretending. Not knowing and not remembering are two different things."
Chloe didn't dare to respond.
His birthday was after she received her salary, so it seemed like Chloe could still make it in time.
But what gift should she give him?
Underwear definitely couldn't be a birthday gift, as that was something she had promised before.
February 14th was a Friday. Tomorrow was Saturday, Donovan's birthday.
Chloe asked Sofia to accompany her to the mall.
This time, they didn't go to New East, as the expenses there were too high for the current Chloe to afford.
They strolled through the men's department on the second floor.
"What should I buy for him?" Chloe furrowed her brows.
It's easy to go from frugality to luxury but hard to go from luxury to frugality.
The feeling of living hand-to-mouth was extremely difficult to endure.
"How about buying a belt to tie him up?"
Chloe thought to herself, ‘This could work, and most importantly, belts aren't expensive.’
However, Chloe only dared to browse in some domestic boutique stores; she no longer dared to shop at foreign luxury brands.
"Welcome, ladies." As soon as they entered a store, they were greeted by a polite salesperson.
Why did Chloe find this voice so familiar?
When the salesperson looked up, Chloe realized it was Barbara.
Chloe instinctively wanted to leave, but then she remembered her mother's words about her uncle earning the minimum wage at home and their family not being well-off.
After leaving New East and Jacob's house, Barbara didn't return to Sunshine Bay City but stayed in Maple Valley.
She wanted to work in this city until she had some achievements before going back. If she returned to Sunshine Bay City, the gap between her and Chloe might widen.
This job was just a temporary stepping stone for her to pay rent and such; she wanted to move to a better place.
"Mrs. Blake, what are you buying? This is 'Wild' men's leather goods store, buying for Mr. Blake?" Barbara's tone was extremely sharp.
Although it was Karen who caused her departure last time, Chloe couldn't escape the connection!
She resented Chloe even more.
Reluctantly, Chloe nodded. She knew that if the salesperson sold something, she would earn a commission. She wanted to give Barbara the opportunity to earn a commission to help support her family.
After all, they were cousins.
"A person like Mr. Blake, why would he be interested in our store's items? Shouldn't he be using luxury goods? Or don't you want Mr. Blake to have nice things?"
Barbara thought to herself, ‘Chloe must be submissive in front of Mr. Blake but secretly rebellious, buying cheap things for Donovan and keeping the money for herself. After all, a person who could easily come up with three hundred thousand for hospital fees wouldn't care about a few bucks spent on a belt.’
