Chapter 4: Spending Money ( part two)

Chapter 4: Spending Money ( part two)

Rose turned her head at the sound, her face changing to a look of unmistakable shock. Their eyes met, his with inexpressible emotions, hers with a glance that flashed something incomprehensible and then a mask of indifference fell across her face.

It was interrupted by a sudden, mocking voice.

"Oh, the ex-girlfriend," Kim Jenny said with a smirk, folding her arms across her chest. "It seems I’ve arrived at an inconvenient time."

Urek smiled slightly, unreadably.

"No, you arrived at the right time."

Hearing his response, Kim Jenny's smirk widened.

She was pleased, and returned to her shopping without another word. The atmosphere between Urek and Rose was tense, and it was felt but not said.

An attendant in the store came up, talking in a business-like but excited voice.

"Our store still has one last piece from the spring collection," she informed Jenny. "But someone is currently trying it on."

The words barely left her lips before Urek's gaze followed the direction she subtly gestured toward. straight to Rose.

She was standing in front of a mirror, and she was holding the designer bag in her side, with a thoughtful expression on her face. The store lights were soft, and they bounced off the smooth surface of the bag, showing the luxurious craftsmanship.

Beside her was a man in an easy attitude, but with an arrogance underlying his bearing. Yunji.

There was a murmur in the shop, low, but not unheard.

"Isn’t that Rose…?"

"The beauty from the art department?"

"I heard she's always been with Yunji. So that means this guy is her ex…?"

"Man, that's awkward."

Urek listened to all this, but he made no response.

Rather, he saw Rose look at Yunji with a near coaxing voice.

"Yunji, my birthday is coming up soon."

Yunji’s brows furrowed slightly, as if the very topic was a nuisance.

"Birthday? Didn’t we just celebrate yours?"

Rose, unfazed, flashed him a sweet, almost playful smile.

"That was my lunar birthday. People also have a solar birthday, you know."

Yunji’s expression darkened slightly, irritation flashing in his eyes.

"Rose," he said in a quiet but firm tone, "you know I don’t like girls who are too focused on material things. You’re not with me for money, right?"

The words landed heavily, the meaning behind them clear.

For the first time since spotting Urek, Rose faltered. Her fingers, which had been gently tracing the bag’s surface, curled slightly.

She knew.

In that moment, she knew she wouldn’t be able to flaunt anything in front of her ex-boyfriend.

Kim Jenny, watching the exchange with an almost predatory glint in her eyes, stepped forward without hesitation.

"I’m sorry, if you’re not taking this bag, I’ll take it."

Her voice rang with finality as she turned to the cashier.

"Charge it to me."

The moment the purchase was completed, a subtle shift occurred.

[Kim Jenny’s favorability has increased by 20 points.]

[Due to decisive payment, an additional 20 points have been added.]

[Kim Jenny’s favorability has reached a total of 60 points.]

Urek observed the notifications with quiet satisfaction.

A single bag added sixty points… At this rate, if she buys a few more, I might just reach the required 95.

However.

A subtle realization crept into his mind.

The refund amount… was too low.

Something about the way the numbers were calculated felt… off.

The high-end shop had a serene atmosphere even though it was accompanied by the background noise of talking and shopping.

Jenny's joyful laughter floated through the air while she held Urek Han's arm tightly and displayed a complete transformation from her former icy behavior into a loving and friendly disposition. She laid her hand on his jacket sleeve and looked up at him with eyes that now were aglow with love.

"Thank you, my dear husband~ You're so good to me, my dear husband~"

She spoke in syrup with her fake seductive tone that appeared to be memorized.

Rose stood still with her hands clasped together at her sides as the boutique employees whispered to each other.

The boutique shop assistant Melissa Manobin told her colleague that she was confused why rich men would be stingy with their girlfriends and ordinary-looking men would not hesitate to spend a lot of money.

She inhaled deeply and nodded her head slowly as she said, Our job training is learning not to judge by physical appearances. The real definition of wealth is beyond the superficial qualities because it is based on what you do and not what you look like.

The words floated through the air as if they were heavy stones that crushed Rose's spirit. She found it hard to contain herself and her face grew gloomy and her lips a thin line.

The strain in all her body was increased by the fact that she knew Jenny was right.

Bags are boyfriends.

The most satisfying feeling is stealing.

Urek and Jenny stood there as she realized she had landed a big fish. A golden fish. No. something still more precious.

The man would spend his money on her without any hesitation.

She gently squeezed Urek's arm while her facial expression transformed into a gentle and modest appearance.

From her nearby position Rose experienced a sudden piercing pain in her heart.

"Urek Han... You've gone too far."

Her voice was quiet but laced with suppressed emotion.

But Urek only looked at her calmly. His smirk was faint, but his words were deliberate.

"Too much?" His voice was light, casual, as if he was simply stating a fact.

"Step by step, Rose. We have plenty of time."

And then.

[System Notification: Second Devotion Target Identified.]

A familiar, translucent blue screen materialized before Urek’s eyes.

[Target: Rose Han]

Urek's gaze flickered over the screen before it vanished, leaving behind only a single thought in his mind.

The game had only just begun.
