The Carrero Effect - Falling for the Boss (Billionaire CEO)

Chapter 52

Too much money and not enough sense.

“That would be an idea.” I smirk, raising a brow.

“Get rid of what you don’t want.” He pulls a dress from the pile and holds it up to admire it, thrusting it down to pick up lingerie instead, with a smile and a dirty wink.

“Most of it still has tags, Jake, she should return them.” I snatch the bustier from him and throw it toward my dresser where my lingerie lives. His raised eyebrow is not lost on me and yet, I ignore it, not really wanting Jake to ogle my lingerie.

“Just give them away, Emma, they’re already paid for.” He shrugs.

“Jake, there’s thousands of dollars worth of stuff here.” I implore him in frustration, he has no concept of money sometimes.

“And?” he says as if to prove my point. I forget that he probably spends more than that on one piece of jewelry for a passing date. He’s always been generous in that way.

“So, I should just donate it? What I don’t need?” I ask sardonically. Really not amused with his lack of care.

“They’re your clothes, Mio Amore.” He shifts on the floor, picking up another dress, this time having a closer look at it and looking at me. He’s trying to remember if I’ve ever worn it. I throw him a disdainful look and start throwing items to the door for donating; this feels so wasteful. I don’t even want to tally up the costs of half of this and, apart from Sarah, I don’t know anyone I can give them too.

“You’ve never worn this?” he raises an eyebrow at me so that I look over at what he’s holding.
