Chapter 187 Buy It All
Chapter 187 Buy It All
Before Sydney took it, Lyra went over and snatched it from Sharon. "I want this as well."
Sydney pursed her lips.
Sharon was fuming in anger. Her hands were on her waist as she glared at Lyra and said, "Are you doing this on purpose? You already took one, and here you are again?"
Lyra hung the gown she just snatched from Sharon's hand over her arm. “That's right. I am doing this on purpose. You said something was wrong with the last dress. In that case, point out something wrong with this dress. Let's see how many dresses you can find fault with."
"You..."
"It's fine, Sharon. Let her he." Sydney pulled on Sharon, who was about to lose it. She then threw a glance at Lyra and walked towards the other side.
Sharon was unwilling and said, "President Raines, are you just going to let her be?"
"Of course not. You will see what happens later," Sydney answered in a low voice. After that, she picked the most expensive gown on the rack in front.
Sharon did not know what Sydney was doing, but she kept quiet and said nothing.
Sydney took the gown to the mirror and placed it on herself to take a better look. While she did that, she silently counted down. "Five, four, three, two-"
Before one, Lyra said loudly, "I want that as well."
The gown that Sydney was holding was indeed beautiful. Although Sydney did not put on the dress, anyone could imagine how good she would look in it.
Sydney was definitely here to pick a gown in preparation for the charity auction a few days later. Lyra swore that she could not let Sydney go with such a beautiful dress and attract Julien's attention.
"Since you want it, you can have it." When Sydney saw Lyra coming over, she handed the gown over.
Lyra took it.
Sydney turned around and went to the other racks to look for another expensive gown.
Very quickly, Lyra took it as well.
Sydney pretended to be upset and threw her a glare, but she did not lose her temper. She simply walked toward another side.
When Lyra saw that Sydney was upset, she was naturally delighted.
Go ahead and pick.
No matter what she picked, Lyra would snatch it to piss Sydney off!
The next few dresses that Sydney picked were all taken away by Lyra. Sharon was about to erupt, but she accidentally noted Sydney's smile and came to a sudden realization.
"President Raines, did you pick the most expensive ones for Lyra?” Sharon whispered in Sydney's ear.
Sydney nodded. "That's right. Since she’s so adamant about me not getting a suitable dress, I should go along with her. Her bank account might bleed a little today."
"Amazing!” Sharon gave Sydney a thumbs up.
Sydney smiled. "Not only that, but if Lyra is here to look for a gown at this time, she must be going to the charity auction. Did I tell you that the main aim of this charity auction is wildlife protection?”
"That's right." Sharon nodded.
Sydney narrowed her eyes. "What will happen if you wear animal fur and leather goods to an auction like this?"
Sharon smiled. "I understand. Leave it to me."
She patted her own chest, kept her smile, and said angrily, "President Raines, she took so many of the gowns we picked. Why are you not saying anything? Those dresses are so beautiful. Can you imagine them with a fur shawl or a bag made of crocodile skin? I bet they will go really well together. What should we do now?"
"It's fine. Let's look around. Others might go well with these accessories too." Sydney patted her hand to calm her down.
Not far away, Lyra heard their conversation and lowered her eyes.
A fur shawl or a crocodile skin bag?
She turned around to look at Kate, who was holding a lot of dresses, and picked one of them up, realizing that they might really go well with each other.
Those gowns were already feminine enough, and a fur shawl would accentuate the wearer's femininity more.
What a great idea.
Sharon stole a few glances at Lyra and saw right through her. Sharon smiled and said, "President Raines, she took the bait."
"Since she took the bait, we can quit now. Excuse me?" Sydney raised her hand and said.
The shopkeeper came over. “Hello, Miss. Can I help you?"
"Pack all of these up." Sydney pointed at the row of gowns on her right side.
Flabbergasted, the shopkeeper paused for a short moment. "E-Everything?"
"That's right. The lady over there will pay." Sydney pointed at Lyra, who was standing nearby.
When Lyra heard that and saw that there were at least ten gowns on the rack, her expression changed." Sydney, when did I say I wanted to buy those?"
"You didn't say it, but President Raines picked all these dresses. Since you like everything she picks, it’s only natural that you want these as well. Go and make the payment." Sharon took Sydney’s elbow and said sarcastically.
Sydney had a smile on her face as well.
Only then did Lyra finally understand what was happening, and she trembled in anger. "Are you messing with me? Did you deliberately make me buy all these?”
"When did we mess with you? You came to us yourself. If you didn’t snatch them from us in the very beginning, we wouldn't have made you buy these. But since you wouldn't have it any other way, you can take everything we picked."
Sharon put out her hands and shrugged. "Big shot, go ahead and make the payment. If you say you don't want them, we might look down on you. As Flint Corporation's future Mrs. President, these
mean nothing to you, right?"
Nothing?
How could that be nothing?
A total of almost 20 haute couture gowns would add up to tens of millions.
If she spent that much on gowns, her father would definitely throw a fit.
"It's fine, Sharon. I'm sure Ms.Madden will buy them. It will be embarrassing if she doesn't.” Sydney smiled at Lyra.
Lyra wanted to rip Sydney's face apart.
"Yes. I’m buying them!" Lyra clenched her fists and forced a smile.
All the staff and the shopkeeper had seen how she repeatedly took the dresses from Sydney.
If she did not buy them, everyone in the social circle would know about it, and she would be more embarrassed then.
Therefore, she could only buy them.
At that thought, Lyra took a deep breath to suppress her anger. Then, she glared at Sydney and said, "I'll remember this."
Sydney smiled. "Let's go, Sharon."
"Okay," Sharon replied.
After the both of them left, Lyra looked at the gown and wanted to throw them on the ground.
However, they cost too much for her to do that.
"The bill!" Lyra took out the credit card Julien gave her and passed it to the shopkeeper with her teeth clenched.
The shopkeeper took the card with a glimmer in her eyes. She tried her best to suppress the excitement in her heart and pushed the gowns away to be packed up.
She was glad that the rich lady helped her settle her home loans today.
After work, she would definitely pray for the rich lady.
Seeing how furious Lyra was, Kate approached Lyra and said with concern, "Lyra, are you okay?"
Lyra forced a smile. "I'm fine."
How could she be fine? She was fuming.
Kate was such a useless friend. She could not even remind her that Sydney was scheming against her.
Very quickly, the shopkeeper made the charges and returned the card to Lyra.
Lyra left her address with the shopkeeper and instructed them to send it over to her house before she left with a gloomy expression.
At the same time, at Flint Corporation, Julien was working on his document when his phone rang.
When he looked at it, he realized that it was a message from the bank.
He frowned when he saw that about ten million had been charged to the card he gave Lyra.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
