I Was a Nobody Until I Inherited Billions

Chapter 011

Sofia, who was lying in my arms, also laughed. She pinched my waist in a joking manner.

"Big Guy, will you come again tonight?"

"I might not have the time. Moreover, that place was too noisy."

"I see. In that case, let's meet another day to play golf. I'll apply for a card on your behalf. Hehe, I need to return the courtesy!"

"Haa... there's no need."

"Of course there is! Anyway, I'm going to look for some toilet paper now, see you!"

When the call ended, I laughed out loud. I gently hugged Sofia and said, "Let's also be on our way. Shall we eat something and then window-shop?"

"Okay, David. I love you."

I believed her. Sometimes, you only need an evening to fall in love.

We got dressed hurriedly and then left, even forgetting my wristwatch in the room. Sofia held my hand as she walked, smiling happily.

We looked like a couple in love as we strolled through the streets. Our good looks immediately attracted the attention of the passersby. I was not really praising my pretty face, but rather Sofia's long and beautiful legs.

"David, they're looking at us!" said Sofia with a smile. She was glowing with vigor.

"That's to be expected. We're a perfect match after all. C'mon, give me a kiss!"

"What, no!"

I planned to buy a few dresses and pieces of jewelry for Sofia. She was my woman now, so I did not want to treat her unjustly.

We arrived on the third floor of Platinum Center, a commercial center with many luxury goods from Chanel, Dior, Gucci, and so on. Sofia knew these brands and did not want to let me waste money on costly merchandise.

"David, I saw a few good accessories below. Let's go take a look, all right?"

"No, let's check this floor first. I insist."

"Okay, you win."

Sofia's shy appearance made her look like a girl on her first date.

My phone suddenly rang when we were choosing a dress. It was Jane.

So many things happened last night that I completely forgot about her! I was a bit ashamed of myself and did not know how to explain what happened yesterday.

"Sofia, take your time choosing. I need to take this call."

"Okay. I'll wait for you here."

I picked up the call, but none of us spoke. I did not have the courage to be the first one to speak.

Half a minute later, I heard Jane cough. I could not help but ask, "Ma'am, are you okay? You drank too much yesterday, so I left a bowl of soup on your table. I hope it helped you feel better."

However, my words seemed to upset Jane. I could almost feel her anger as she panted.

"Ma'am, please let me explain. Yesterday, you puked everywhere, so I had no choice but to—"

"Come to my office in the afternoon."

She ended the call with that single sentence. My heart skipped a beat. I was afraid that Jane might have misunderstood me. If that was the case, I was truly done for!

How can I explain what happened? Should I just tell her that I took off her clothes to clean the vomit? But that would be inaccurate as I also touched her. Moreover, I also...

The more I thought about it, the more I felt my crimes were unforgivable. While I was deep in thought, I heard someone quarreling in the shop nearby.

I hurried back and saw that Sofia and the shop assistant were arguing. Sofia looked like a deflated balloon and did not dare to raise her head.

I moved toward her and grabbed her hand, glaring at the shop assistant.

"David, I'm sorry. I was careless and spilled my milk tea on some clothes..." Sofia lowered her head, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Don't cry," I said as I gently wiped her tears away.

Seeing me come over, the shop assistant found another target to vent her anger. She said in a high-pitched voice, "Sir, you should pay more attention to what your girlfriend does. She sees an article, tries it on, and puts it back after looking at the price tag. Do you think this is a fitting room? As if that wasn't enough, she even spilled milk tea on the clothes! Have you any idea how expensive they are?"

"How much?" I asked coldly.

"Hehe, how much? Half a year of your salary, I suppose?"

Sofia was wearing plain clothes, so the shop assistant assumed that I was a white-collar worker who came here with his girlfriend to try out expensive clothes without buying them.

"I'm sorry, but I didn't do it on purpose. Will it be okay if I send them to a dry-cleaner?" said Sofia with tears in her eyes.

"You what to send them to a dry-cleaner? Heavens, are you a country bumpkin or what? Who would send clothes worth thousands of dollars to a dry cleaner?"

The more I listened to her, the angrier I became. "Bring your manager here. Is this how your shop treats customers?"

"Hehe, you want to see the manager? Sure thing, but don't try to run. We have surveillance cameras here."

Seeing her arrogant face, I felt like giving her a lesson. Sofia kept holding my hand, just like a child that had committed a mistake.

Soon, the manager came over. Judging from their expressions, the manager and the shop assistant were cut from the same cloth.

"I'm sorry, Sir. May I ask if you would like to settle the payment of these clothes with cash or credit card?"

"I don't think that's the problem here. I wanted to talk about the attitude you have toward your customers. Just now, your shop assistant made my girlfriend cry. How do you plan to settle that?"

"Sir, I have no way to settle this matter of yours. Anyway, may I ask if you prefer cash or card?"

If there had been a brick lying around, I would have definitely smashed it on their heads! At this time, I saw a familiar face in the shop. It was Emma!

"Ah? Big Guy, what a coincidence! What are you doing here?" said Emma before jogging toward me.

I was startled by her sudden appearance. The world sure was small.

"I came here with a friend to buy a few things. Are you also window-shopping?"

"Eh, isn't that Sofia? Heavens, you two..."

Seeing Emma's stunned expression, Sofia's cheeks flushed. She immediately lowered her head.

"I see. I see..."

Emma laughed mischievously then said, "This shop belongs to my family. You can take whatever you like. One way or the other, I have to repay you for the super VIP card from yesterday. That sparkling golden edge is too cool!"

"This shop belongs to your family? That's great."

I coldly looked at the duo from before. At this time, they did not even dare to breathe.

Emma could tell that something was wrong. She asked, "Big Guy, what happened?"

"Nothing much. It's just that your shop assistant was looking down on us. She showed us none of the respect that a client deserves."

The shop assistant hurried to say, her tone now gentle, "Sir, I'm sorry for what happened earlier. I admit that the quality of my service was not up to par. From now on, I'll try my best to improve myself. As for these clothes, I'll help you pay for them. How about that?"

"Do you think I can't afford to pay for those clothes?"

"No, no, that's not what I meant. I—"

"What did you mean then? Didn't you call us country bumpkins earlier?"

The manager also hurried to apologize.

"Sir, I'll give you a VIP card that will make you eligible for a twenty percent discount every time you buy something from our shop. What do you think?"

I felt like laughing. At this time, Emma made a call and gave the phone to the manager. The manager's complexion changed. It went from red to pale, and then from pale to blood-red.

Emma took her phone back and said wittily, "The customer is always right! Why can't you understand such a simple thing? I'm sorry, but our shop doesn't need a manager like you."

"Miss, please listen to what I have to say. Actually, I—"

"Ptui! I don't want to listen to your explanation. And you, you should also pack your stuff and leave!"

The shop assistant begged in a hundred different ways and even started crying. However, it was all useless...

The three of us had lunch together, with Emma and Sofia taking the opportunity to become friends. Afterward, they kept buying and buying. I had to admit, going shopping with women was truly tiring.

At this time, I received a call from an unfamiliar number. However, the voice of the person on the other end sounded familiar.

"Hello, am I talking to David Wayne?"

"Yes, it's me. Who are you?"

"It's me, John Barkley. We met before. There is a charity event tonight and I thought I might invite you. Are you interested in joining us?"

I knew that this guy was up to no good. However, I decided to accept the challenge and see what he had planned.

"Give me the time and location."

"Eight o'clock this evening, Paris Hall. I'll wait for you there!"

I snorted as I ended the call, putting the matter to the back of my mind.

In the afternoon, I told Emma to give Sofia a ride back home. Sofia lived in a single apartment in a pretty good neighborhood, but I planned to have her move to my villa after a period of time.

"Big Guy, are we playing golf this weekend?"

"I can't say for sure. I might not have the time."

"No, you must come! Promise me!"

The red Ferrari sped away as the two girls left. As for me, I took a taxi and headed to the company.
