Chapter 632: Chapter 632: Ruby Gregory’s Confession (12)
When Steve Burton and the saleswoman returned after picking out clothes, they saw Ruby Gregory sitting on the sofa with her pregnant belly. Worried that she might be uncomfortable, Steve first grabbed a cushion and placed it behind Ruby’s back before gesturing to the saleswoman. As she walked in, he picked up one of the clothes and showed it to Ruby, asking, “What do you think?”
It was indeed quite beautiful. Before Ruby even had a chance to comment, Steve saw the look of amazement in her eyes and immediately handed it to the saleswoman, saying, “Wrap this up.”
Then, he picked up another one and asked again, “How about this one?”
Ruby shook her head somewhat disdainfully this time, “I don’t really like this color.”
Steve nodded and tossed the clothes onto a nearby sofa before picking up the next one.
Throughout the entire process, Ruby did nothing but sit comfortably against the cushion on the sofa, nodding or shaking her head at the clothes Steve picked up.
Even when her cup of water was almost empty, Steve would instruct the waiter to refill it for her.
The first batch of clothes Steve brought over had eight pieces, and Ruby chose five of them. As Steve went to pick out more clothes, Ruby glanced outside the store and saw Maya Mitchell not leaving, but standing outside and chatting with her friend. However, her eyes were always on Steve and Ruby’s actions inside the store, the smugness on her face now gone, replaced by a tightly pursed lip and a slightly displeased expression.
Seeing Maya unhappy made Ruby even happier. While waiting for Steve to pick out more clothes, she picked up a magazine next to her and casually flipped through it. Spotting a particularly beautiful dress, Ruby asked the saleswoman if the store had it. The saleswoman replied politely, “The clothes featured in this magazine are for the next season’s release, so we don’t have them yet.”
Ruby nodded with a hint of regret, “What a pity…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Steve’s voice came through again, “What’s such a pity?”
“The dress in the magazine. It’s really nice, but it’s only going to be released next season.”
Steve glanced at the magazine before showing Ruby the clothes he picked out this time, and after finalizing a few more selections, he said, “The clothes in this store are average. Shall we check another store?”
Ruby nodded in agreement.
Steve then told the saleswoman, “Help me wrap these clothes and check out.”
“Yes, sir and ma’am, please wait a moment.” If Maya’s shopping bill earlier was considered a large order, then Steve’s order now was beyond their imagination. The saleswoman’s eyes squinted with joy as she hugged the clothes and happily ran to the front counter, scanning the order while excitedly chatting with her coworkers about it.
About fifteen minutes later, the saleswoman came back with a smile, “Sir, the total is US$38,154.”
Upon hearing the amount, Steve’s face remained expressionless as he pulled out a bank card from his pocket and handed it over, “No PIN required.”
