Chapter 308: Always With You
It’s only that these things don’t violate other’s privacy. The salesman checks the order and then quickly
goes to the inner warehouse.
A few minutes later, he comes out with a box.
He hands the box to John and says, “She bought this scarf.”
“Did she give it to the man who came with her?”
“…Yes.”
John coughs violently and looks away from the box to take out his wallet, “Wrap it up.”
“Okay.”
The salesman wraps the scarf swiftly. She frowns lightly as she sees the man in front of the counter
cough with his fist near his lips, looking unwell.
She hands John the parcel and asks with concern, “Sir, are you feeling alright?”
“I’m okay.” John smiles faintly.
The door is pushed open again and a tall man comes in.
“Mr. John.” the man comes towards John. Seeing that John looks pale he is about to take off his jacket
to offer to John.
John waves his hand to stop him and asks, “Is the plane ready?”
The man nods and replies, “I have notified the air traffic control here. There’s no heavy snow tonight,
you can fly.”
“Okay.”
John takes the gift bag from the salesman.
The salesman asks if he’d like his change back but he refuses and picks up a packaged apple from the
counter and gives it to the salesman, “This is a thank you for your help. Happy Christmas Eve!”
“Thank you!” The salesman thanks him in a daze.
Her gaze follows John outside. He sees John bend over and violently cough, his fingers covering his
mouth and a little blood trickles from his fingers. He is coughing so violently that he has to rely on the
person beside him to support him.
The salesman wonders, “His cough is so bad, is he going to be okay?”
……
After deciding on a meeting time and venue with Daniel and others, Leigh takes Jessie to a department
store and goes straight to the make-up area on the third floor and has the whole section reserved for
them.
After a short while, the whole make-up area is empty and the salesgirls are only attending to them two.
Leigh waves his hands proudly, “Little Fairy, all these are for yours. Pick whatever you like, I will pay for
it!”
Jessie is speechless, “Do you have a lot of money to waste?”
“I have a lot of money, but I am not wasting it!” Leigh hugs and kisses her with a smiling face, “Also,
this is just a small make-up area. Let’s go pick up jewelry after this!”
“…”
The salesgirls here can speak English and there is no communication barrier.
Seven or eight salesgirls from different brands surround Jessie and begin to introduce their brands to
her. Leigh also occasionally joins in the experience for fun and when he sees a pretty lipstick, he
enthusiastically brings it for Jessie to try.
“Little Fairy! Look, this one’s pretty. It will suit you!”
Jessie glances at his hand and almost rolls her eyes, “Barbie pink? Wow, really I must thank you!”
“Why? Doesn’t it look good?” Leigh mutters, hands her the lipstick and encourages her to try, “Baby,
just try it once!”
“I don’t want to. It’s ugly!”
“Try it once! Even if it looks bad, I won’t say anything!”
Leigh keeps on clinging to her and urging her. Jessie is finally annoyed and takes the lipstick from him
and drags it on her lips. She wipes the excess with a cotton swab, giving it a soft gradient look.
Jessie’s skin is pale and delicate and it can handle the pink color. The light coat that is applied on her
lips makes her turn into a delicate Barbie in an instant.
Leigh holds her face in his hands and looks at it, praising her vigorously, “Let me just say this, my little
fairy is so beautiful, any lipstick can look good on you. Oh! So pretty!” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“I don’t want it. It’s too ugly!” Although it is from a huge brand, it is pink and has glitter in it. She hates it
and picks up a wet wipe to wipe it off.
Before she can do that, Leigh brings her face close to his and presses his cheek on her lips, printing a
light pink mark on his cheek.
Jessie glares at him, “What are you doing?”
“Getting my Christmas gift!” Leigh looks at his cheek in the mirror, clearly satisfied, “Baby, your lip
shape is perfect, look at the kiss. Look how pretty is the mark!”
“Wipe it off! This color is too ugly and embarrassing.” Jessie extends her hand to rub the wet wipe on
his face, “People will laugh at you when they see it.”
Leigh grabs her hand, kisses it twice and says with a smile, “Don’t wipe it! I like it! I want everyone to
see that I am not single and be jealous.”
Jessie is speechless yet again.
After picking up a bunch of makeup, he takes her to the sixth floor to the jewelry area.
He also wants to reserve the jewelry area, but Jessie punches him on his chest, “Don’t! Let’s just go to
Cartier!”
What happened in the jewelry area of another shopping mall some time ago is still fresh in her mind.
“Okay then. Cartier it is.” Leigh sees that her expressions are not good. He guesses it is because of
that incident. He hugs her and says and his tone is a bit serious, “Don’t be afraid, I’m always with you.”
I’m always with you.
His words make Jessie’s heart tremble for some reasons as a sense of guilt is awakening in it.
Evelyn is regarded as a VIP customer of Cartier. Leigh just tells them her number and Jessie is quickly
asked to sit in the VIP room.
The few boxes of jewelry that are brought to her include the jewelry that is not sold over the counter but
only sold to a few VIP customers and the unreleased limited-edition jewelry that would be sold in spring
and summer of next year.
“Baby, what style do you like?” Leigh is not interested in the jewelry, so he asks Jessie, only to turn
around and find her looking at the counter looking lost.
He leans in and whispers, “What happened?”
“Uh? Nothing.” Jessie hurriedly gets up from the chair, “I just need to use the rest room.”
She turns and hurries away.
After stepping in the bathroom, she turns on the faucet and splashes cold water on her face. The heat
on her face cools down, which helps her sober up a bit. She raises her head to look in the mirror.
In the huge glass mirror in front of her, her reflection stares back at her. Messy hair and wet face, she
looks a little embarrassing and there is no light in her eyes.
This is not her!
Jessie feels disgusted by herself; her emotions are caught in a storm in her heart. The more she thinks
about it the worse she feels.
She splashes the water on her face repeatedly, like she has lost her mind. Finally, she stands there,
holding on to the sink to support herself and panting slightly.
Things are developing in the direction that she wanted. She should be happy now; her heart should be
full of pleasure after the revenge. Why does she feel guilty and empty? She thinks.
Obviously, the Lewis family owes her.
At this time, her cellphone on the counter vibrates and lights up.
She pulls her wet hair away from her face and looks at the screen. She purses her lips and picks up the
call, “Hello, Uncle!”
“Jessie, where are you?”
Jessie hesitates and answers, “The company sent me to a business trip to Japan.”
“Oh! Is that so?” Her uncle on the other side of the line pauses and sighs, “Then you won’t be able to
come back today, you know, today is your sister…”
“I know.” Jessie squeezes the phone in her hand tightly, trying to control her emotions, “Just ask aunt to
go and visit her for me.”
“Okay, I will drive there with your aunt in a bit.”
“Okay.”
As she is about to hang up the phone, her uncle says, “Jessie, some things are… forget it! Their family
is not easy to mess with. Don’t ruin your life trying anything impulsive.”
